    My 04 Prius is reaching almost 46,000 ml and tires are getting pretty smooth. Positive side is that my tires are now the super low rolling resistence and I am getting pretty good mpg, averaging at 50s. But I better get a new set of tires before the rain starts. Otherwise, I will be rolling around the freeway.

    It seems lot of Prius owners hate OEM Goodyears. Has anyone replaced their tires to other then the OEM Goodyears brand? Any recommendations?

    Thank you,

    Michelin Hydro-Edge tires are THE way to go!
