    If you can, go for the MXV-4 Plus - I got them in 195-15-60. They are lower rolling resistance than the Integrity's.

    Costco has LOTS of Michelin and BFG's in their Tire stores......... betcha' they got 'em !!

    Costco is where I got the BEST price (because mount/balance/valve stem, etc. was included) on the Michenlin CROSS TERRAIN's for the Acura MDX. I am not usually fond of Michelins....... had some BAD experiences with the EARLY MXV's (NOT Energy) back in '90 on an Accord EX Coupe in the rain !!
    But the "top-of-the-line" Michelin SUV Cross Terrains lasted OVER 50,000 miles of aggressive driving, mainly down here in hot Florida all year long, stuck well to the road in dray and in heavy rain and wore like iron............ I am sure the "newer" generation on Michelins are very, very good !! Just those dam, Honda OEM (1990) FIRST generation MXV's were a real nightmare in the rain, or ANY sort of "dampness" :angry: ...................................

    MXV4+ are discountinued and have been replaced with Primacy (Costco does not have them). What is the best tire out there for the prius? reduce road noise, increase mileage, increase handling, etc

    Sure they have PRIMACY ........ order them from COSTCO.COM and pick-up at tire center (free mount/balance/valve stem/road hazard):

    Sam's Club also has the same deal going on now for Michelins - you can get a set of Michelin Hydroedge with road hazard/free rotation/etc. out the door for under $400. Not bad - the lowest prices I got quoted for the same tires at the local "discount" places was well over $500.

    If for some reason, you miss the $60 rebate, contact Michelin and they will send you a "friends of Michelin" $60 rebate form.
