Nokian WR G2 and Energy Savers are within acouple dollars of each other, both LRR, both expensive at over $120 each, I thought I read that the Nokians have 50,000 warranty but can't verify it today, the ES have big edge that being rated for 65,000. I think the Nokian's have big edge in traction, cost per mile ES hands down.

2 of the WR's on the front of stratus are to the wear bars, 20,000 miles of my driving, the looked almost brand new when I got them used so 20-30,000 might be all they last.

I have 4 Nitto Sn2's (winters) coming for the Malibu at $76 each. I'm going to wait till I get those mounted and drive it alittle before I decide what's going on the Cobalt for this winter, 4 Nitto's isn't much more than 2 G2's. Wear out the other during the summer.
Michelin offers a $70 rebate so the price is lower on the Energy Saver A/S. They also sport much lower rolling resistance than the Nokian. I would agree the Nokian offers better traction and likely handling. If you want the best fuel economy, however, you're not going to beat the Energy Saver A/S.
