First of all, thank you to all who have responded on the DWS.
Second of all,thank you odie for this info on the ECO+
Good info as well! A friend of mine has an '08 Yaris 2dr/HB w/RE-92's and he is looking for tires soon or at leats before winter.
I have been discussing options with him. We looked up the RE-92's on the tire rack and they showed to be about the most expensive tires in his size and one of the low(er) rated. I'll have to present these Cont ECO+ tires to him and check the total cost as compared to other tire we've looked at already.
Can you give me a bit more information on these in a PM?
And is your '08 Yaris a 2dr-4dr/HB or sedan?
My friend drives localy but around the holidays, he drives between NY and PA to visit family and winter traction is somewhat important too.
