Default Alternative to RE92's should they become unavailable?

I'm sure they aren't anywhere near RE92 FE levels but they might do in a pinch?

Would expect similar or lower mileage to Michelin Energy Savers. Which is to say about 10% worse than RE92.

I think the Energy Savers are the best bet right now. They only command a 4-6% hit, it seems.

If you guys can get them, the Pirelli Cinturato P1 recently gained 5 stars out of 5 for low rolling resistance from the UK Which? Consumer Association, beating Michelin Energy Savers which got 4 stars out of 5 for LRR.
