    Hi guys I am still waiting on my 2010 IV-SR, but on my Gen 2 07 Prius I remember a lot of discussion around the Goodyear tires wearing out fast and also not holding the road very well when the pavement is wet.

    So question is how are the different tires being supplied on the 2010 holding up wear wise so far and how well do they grip on wet pavement.

    I haven't heard many complaints except the 17" wheels with Michelins riding hard so I was wondering did Toyota get it right with the 15" wheel tire combos that come from the factory as standard?

    I was so sure I did not want the Goodyears on my 07 that I replaced them immediately with Bridgestone AS960 pole position. They have been real good tires even in snow here on Ohio where I live.
