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
What is your tire size? I looked up your car and the OE tires size of 185/60/15 the Ecopia EP422 is only $80. The 16" tire is $108. You can also get them at Costco with a $70 rebate every other month.

The key to purchasing any premium LRR tire is to wait until the rebates are offered. There is a $70 rebate for both Michelin and Bridgestone. There is an $80 rebate for certain Goodyear tires but not all qualify. Discount Tire also runs a $100 rebate for any 4 tires but they only do this twice a year or so.
