    Does anyone have any recent news on this new tire being released this month in Europe and Japan?

    It supposed received a A/A rating for rolling resistance and wet traction. The first tire to achieve an A in both categories! If they would produce an equivalent tire in North America it would likely be better than the Energy Saver A/S which is sort of old technology now. Assuming you don't need an all-season tire. If the EP150 they mention in the video is like the EP100 in NA then this tire should be more efficient than the Energy Saver A/S and the EP100 without sacrificing wet traction.
