    At 60K miles (mostly highway), my original A20 tires are in need of replacement.

    I'm looking for some feedback on alternate replacements. Some metrics like tread wear, road noise, handling (in wet and snowy conditions) and of course mileage impact.

    As far as the A20s, my opinion is they are OK but I'm willing to try something new. My car averages around 44MPG and would like to improve that.

    If fuel economy is a top priority, your only choice is the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422+.

    I have a 2010 Prius with the 17" wheels. I put Michelin Primacy MXM4's on my car and they have been great. I get about 44-45mpg driving mostly on the highway. The Michelins are quiet, comfortable and have worn very well after 20k miles so far.

    I have a 2013 persona, I recently purchased some Kelly tires and to my surprise my gas mileage instead of going down went up amazing from 44 miles per gallon to over 50 you can find my vehicle on fuelly by the name Trailblazerpewter I originally had some Goodyear Assurance all season tires.
