Thoughts on Prius C four, Tires?

My tires show 195/50 R16... do any of you have any recommendations? I really don't exceed 75mph and most tires are rated H, V, for excessive speeds above 100 which I won't be doing in my Prius anytime soon.

I found these inexpensive 55K rated tires. Every time I buy tires I manage to burn through them faster than they are rated for. So with that said, I've owned tires that cost me from $50-150 per tire. I like these tires below for the sheer reason that their business has been making tires for 71 years and I see them around but they aren't major name brands.


I drive 150-250 miles per day, as I'm in Route Sales for a San/Jan company in Southern Utah. Do you recommend these? Or do you have a preference, choice, like, thought, opinion

Choosing Low Rolling Resistance Tires

• Discuss the ups and downs of low rolling resistance tires with other hybrid drivers.
  
  For years, the Toyota Prius has come standard with the low resistance Goodyear Integrity. But those tires are notorious for wearing out fast, and that’s not the only compromise. “You can get a tire that will give you better mileage, but you are going to give something up,” Matt Edmonds, vice president of tire discounter Tire Rack told Automotive News. “Typically that would have meant stopping distance, handling in wet conditions.” (Toyota picked the Toyo Proxes A20 for 2010 Prius premium “V” trim, and the Highlander Hybrid.
  
  Tire Trade-Offs
  In September, Tire Rack conducted a “Real World Road Ride Economy Run” to determine whether lower rolling resistance tires are effective at increasing fuel efficiency. The test used a small fleet of Toyota Prii outfitted with the Goodyear Integrity all-season radial tires as a baseline. Each tire was driven over 550 miles of a 6.6-mile loop of expressways, highways and side roads.
  
  The Prius outfitted with the baseline tire achieved 51.4 miles per gallon, but the best performer was the new Michelin Energy Saver A/S that clocked 53.8 mpg. The Michelin HydroEdge with Green X delivered only 51.1 mpg. The other tested tires included the Bridgestone Ecopia EP100, Yokohama dB Super E-Spec, and Goodyear Assurance ComforTred.
  
  The Michelin Energy Saver was also very effective in stopping the Prius when traveling at 50 mph in wet conditions—verifying Michelin claims that the Energy Saver is “up to 8 percent more fuel-efficient than standard tires” and “stops up to 8 feet shorter.” The company equates the fuel savings to reducing CO2 emission as much as planting 40 trees.
  
  But the approximate 2-mpg advantage of the Michelin Energy Saver versus the Michelin HydroEdge Green X comes at a price. The HydroEdge, which uses a tread pattern and compound engineered for a longer life, comes with a 90,000-mile warranty. The Energy Saver A/S does not have a mileage warranty.
  
  Low Resistence 101
  Harder tires = lower rolling resistance. And other basics.
  
  The upcoming Chevy Volt will ride on the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max, which strikes a balance between low rolling resistance and long life. It has a tread compound designed to deliver a 27 percent reduction in rolling resistance, and comes with a 65,000-mile tread wear warranty.
  
  Calculating the costs and the payback for a more expensive tire is also tricky. Doug Girvin, director of product marketing for Michelin, makes the argument for the more expensive and higher-mpg tire: “When you take the cost of that tire and the cost of the fuel that it took over the life of that tire vs. a slightly less expensive tire that uses a little more fuel, the average cost-per-mile driven came within one-hundredth of a penny of each other.”
  
  
  
  

 

Low Rolling Resistance Tires, I keep seeing that name thrown around. I've never heard of it. I want to spend $50-80 per tire but I have heard so many bad things about the Stock Bridgestone Turanza tire on the Prius C
