Thanks Neil and Unforgiven for your inputs. Particularly the HydroEdge treadwear @ 800 was amazing! Is that the maximum there is?
I have another aspect to this query - These fancy tires are priced in the range of ~$100, give or take some. Is it better to go in for something a notch lower, but priced significantly less, maybe owing to volumes etc? If we see the energy savings from the tire, which tire would be economical from the overall ownership POV?
I mean there is no point in going for the absolute best, when the tire price is not going to recover your money in good time, but the fancy tire does give statistical pleasure when it comes to FE figures.
There has to be a sweet point where the upfront tire price and added FE benefits together turn out to be the lowest cost over the life of the tire. I myself consume tires pretty miserly, so would like to know others' experiences. So shoot please!
