So for now, if you want max FE, stick with the OE 15" wheel and a set of Energy Saver A/S tires! The Ecopia EP422 is pretty good too. Maybe well get lucky like Europeans and get the new Ecopia EP001s.
Thank you

I am stickin with the 15 inch rim OEM ......... for my Gen 2 Prius, However I am considering a purchase of 175/65R15, 175/70R15 possible to give FE/mpg postive bump up. Michelin Energy X are okay 185/65R15 but kinda pricy in my personal IMHO retrospective perspective.
