Ecopia ep100
Got a set of 4 just a little over a week ago as the original OEM Dunlops were showing wear bars after 5 years of service (30k miles). I kept the old tires at 50psi and true enough the middles wore out faster than the edges but only by 2/16 at most.
Right after installation where they put in the standard 32psi I felt the softness but interestingly at speed they seem to almost glide as easily as my old tires did at 50psi. Corning at 32psi created a loud roar so the Tire Rack reviews about their sub-average cornering abilities are true.
After inflating them to my usual 50psi I found the tires are performing as good as my worn out Dunlops MPG wise (I average 50mpg on my daily commutes here in the summer) which is great considering they don't even have 200 miles on them. At 50psi it really took the noise out of cornering but still louder than my old tires. Haven't had much rain to say how they handle in the wet but they seemed to do fine in a brief squal I went through.
