Check out some European "tyre" reviews, they often test rolling resistance as well, even on ultra high performance summer tires.
One example:
Don't take any single test as gospel though - these are measured results, and there will be some confounding environmental factors. |
The ecopias have even lower than the turanzas so that means ecopias are lower than energy savers. Bridgestone updates their ecopias to a gen 2 compound and improved treadlife and grip and better rolling resistance. Michelin has been riding the success of their first gen energy savers and haven’t really updated them. They are still really good. The difference between the two in the real world can be offset by hypermiling techniques. As for fast highway driving, I doubt the slight difference matters when aero becomes the biggest hit
