This inspired me to look up the Ecopia tires, are they seriously $235 a tire? The LRR Goodyear Viva II tires I have been using the past (since I've been here) years are only about $70 a tire and I've never had any issues with them.

Update: I actually re-put in my tire size and it went down to $114 a tire. After 4 tires I dont think they will pay themselves off in extra FE over the VivaIIs
