I now have the ECOPLUS on my Yaris as of November 14th, and they are so quiet. So far so good!

Rated Excellent in Roll Resistance by Consumer Reports.

Thumbs up Hancooks H727 vs. Conti Pro Cont. Eco Plus

Hancooks H727's on my daughter's Scion XA. I don't like the handling, they're squirmy initially on turn in. We bought Conti PC Eco Pluses on my wife's Corolla, and yes, I know the Corolla's no sports car, but isolating on the tires, I like the handling of the Pro Contact EP's. I think I can detect the decreased rolling resistance, although I haven't checked the gas mileage yet.

They are great tires so far. My last tank was 55.3 mpg which tied my best tank last year. So they are getting better as they age, much like a fine wine.
Much better in wet handling, than the Goodyear Integrity that I replaced. Mpg seems to be very close to the Integrity.

I've had these tires on for about 11 months now and they are almost bald!

I wanted to post to update people on this tire who were still looking at it possibly. I bought a new set on 1/4/2012 and as of today have about 18k miles on them, about 50/50 on highway/city driving.

I had thought I would get more life out of these initially and was surprised to see them worn down to the tread bars already. I did some research and it turns out these tires have been wearing down on people rather quickly, they are rated for 80k miles but the latest reviews on continentals website show people barely getting 20k out of them.

I'm going to see if I can get a free replacement since continental has a 12m free replacement warranty.

I am happy with the tires when I got them, they have good wet and dry traction, they are also quiet as well. I thought a tire with "eco plus technology" would be longer lasting is all as they are marketed as economy tires so I was expecting 40k+.
