Noise, thread wear or bad traction is not an issue for me. I just want the lowest rolling resistance.
The Continental Ecocontact 5 is the tyre to beat .
Wear is good too, according to the ADAC.de testers.

ADAC Test - Sommerreifen 2012 - 165/70 R14

See Kraftstoffverbrauch (fuel usage) and Verschleiss (wear) - lower numbers are better.


The Energy Saver is already 4 years old.
