<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(nicos @ Aug 5 2006, 04:50 PM) [snapback]298430[/snapback]</div> I just sold mine on eBay. I think they were NOT directional.
The Hydroedges are directional. The GY Integrity (OEM, and candidate for most oxymoronically named tire...) are not directional. Dr. -- If you don't mind me asking, have you seen an impact on your mileage using the Hydroedges? I had a set on a previous car, and liked them, but don't know how they do in the Prius (generally, and as to mileage).
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ekpolk @ Aug 5 2006, 08:11 PM) [snapback]298460[/snapback]</div> When I first put them on and for the first couple thousand miles there was a clear negative impact. Since they've broken in I get better gas mileage than I did before with the Integrities. Now, that may all be due to improved technique and car break in...I certainly don't think the HydroEdges would help to improve mpg, but I've had a couple 64+mpg tanks and several over 60mpg tanks with them on so the impact certainly is not very bad....once they're broken in.
Dr. Another question about the hydroedge. How are they as far as noise? I want a set but am worried about the noise factor. Sorry didn't mean to steal the topic. Thanks in advance
