Am looking for all-season tires to complement our winter tires (so maybe 3-season tires for here in New England), and I've found a lot of great threads here on the most quiet tires, but relatively little info on which tires are more efficient (i.e. less rolling resistance -> greater range). Of course, safety comes first, so they need to perform and handle well in wet and dry conditions, resist flats, etc., and I'm not against them being quiet, but certainly would like to optimize range if possible, and also would prefer tires that were manufactured ecologically in general...
Here's three I've researched so far:
*Michelin Pilot Sport AS4: lots of recommendations, but reviews on TireRack talk about efficiency going down by ~10%.
*Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II: was all set to order these, but apparently only the prior version was LRR, and these are not good for efficiency...
*Continental PureContact LS: Am leaning towards these...
Any thoughts on the Contis and/or recommendations for efficient tires that are good in other respects as well??
