I looked at the ProContacts. I went with the Serenity Plus instead. I was on the fence for a while. The ProContacts look decent on Tirerack.

Yes, I also think they are worth it. Especially since when compared to another decent non-LRR, you aren't paying any more. Yes, you'll save with cheap Walmart tires, but they won't last as long.

My Civic had 3 different types of tires on it when I got it. They were all cheap and the car didn't like to coast. Now with the LRR's, it coasts much better. I don't have any testing data to prove it, but definitely can tell the difference.

If you aren't paying more and can get a few percent mpg increase, I'd call that a win.
