need new tires, 4x ECOPIA EP422 PLUS (215 /50 R17 95V XL BSW) will cost 850 to install, ugh, are these worth it on the 17 inch rims? from what I understand bigger rims are usually less efficient, I get ok efficiency on my bald Michelin energy savers, does anyone have any experience with ecopias on the 17 inch rims? i would like to get as many miles / kwh as possible.
just noticed poking around the forum, some people have 215/55 R17 sized ecopias on their leaf, hows that working out? they're 20 bucks cheaper per tire and maybe should be a little more efficient because there's less rim to sidewall vs the stock tire size, is there any clearance or fitment issues? On discount tires website it claims they wont fit my vehicle. Im a little worried about it being an SL tire instead of XL tire, not sure how much that matters.
