The energy savers are normally at least $150 each.
The Yokohama avid ascend GT tires are probably closer to $100. I say the energy savers aren't necessary on something that isn't electric only.
The Yokohama tires are better in every single way except rolling resistance and maybe tread wear, but with tread wear is should be pretty close between the 2.
If you run them at 50 psi they will wear out along the center of the tread by 40,000 to 50,000 miles. Only run them at max inflation when it's apparent that they will wear out on the shoulder, or if they are already fairly bald.
