kumo eco solus lrr rating?

i need a set of 175/65-14 for my toyota echo. i have researched alot including the "when black and round = green" article . and i found the rolling resistance of the (ecopia ep100) ,,now discontinued, but i found some, for $400.00 out the door.i also found the kumo eco solus also being disconinued I think. .for $350.00 . problem is i can find no info on the rolling resistance of the kumos. making them hard to compare. talked to tire rack,1010 tire,discount tire, tire kingdom sun tire etc. almost none of them knew of a lrr tire,for me or even what one was. the michilin green x ice tire is lrr. But i live in florida. what i have noticed is the manufactures are discontinuing the lrr's in 14". i need tires in the next week or so any body have a recommendation i would appricaite it.

The Kumhos are nice and inexpensive tires. I have the eco solus tires on my Paseo (only lrr I could find in 13" wheel dia). It seems to be a good tire. I also have the ecopia ep100s on my Prius and have also been very happy with them. If it came down to it, I'd probably go with the ecopias. Its very hard to compare since they are on different cars, but with the high ratings the ecopias got in testing I don't see the eco solus surpassing them.
