    I am looking to buy new tires that are good for fuel efficiency and relatively comfortable and quiet. Anyone have any suggestions or opinion on these.

    I've worked on a Gen 2 here and there. After each job, I take the car for a drive, the same route, every time, 43 miles round trip. 21.5 miles each way.......I've only had two cars that exceeded 60mpg on that drive. Both were wearing the Ecopia 422+ tires. Next best was 55.x mpg. I don't have all the answers as to why, but the 2007 I recently bought will be getting the 422+ tires on it when I make it my new daily driver.
