In the end I went for the Bridgestone ECOPIA EP001S in standard smallest homologated for my car wheels, namely 195 65 R15.

The fitting company had my car by 14:00, promised it back for 16:00, at 16:21, I went to the counter to ask if the car was OK, it was not and I knew it so they promised it within 15 minutes and I got it back at 16:51 !

That's almost one hour late over their really comfortable 2 hours allocated time.
I wouldn't recommend them if the tires weren't 10 euros cheaper than elsewhere ...

Some time this week I'll showyou a pic of the tires, they are very shallow in the marking department (no stated side wall max for instance), that may bee part of their low noise / high efficiency ranking ...
