    I need new tires on my 2012 Prius. Discount has the Falken Ziex ZE-512 at decent price. Does anyone have any experience with these tires? I want to avoid a drop in gas mileage or tires that are noisy as I take a lot of road trips. Any other suggestions for reasonably priced tires?

    Thanks!

    If you're looking for something in that price range, the Ecopia EP422 will be a better choice. The ZE-512 will have better traction, but the Ecopia will have better (lower) rolling resistance and be quieter on the road.

    Costco is the best place for the Ecopia when they run the $70 off.
