Tires: well they didn't last that long....

michelin energy savers a/s are the only ones to get. but no lrr tire is going to last very long.

 

Bridgestone Ecopia 422 is LRR and 65K mile rated.

I'm hoping for at least passable or good performance from my OEM original Goodyear Assurance tires that came on my Prius.

So far I like the performance. I'm getting excellent gas mileage with them, and they seem responsive and comfortable.

But I've never bought a new car where the provided tires lasted very long. Lucky to get a year and approach 2 with them.

The worst was a Nissan Pick Up I bought, I can't even remember the brand of tire now. But the tires almost immediately starting picking up nails. Everywhere I went it seemed they would find a nail and go flat. After 3 or 4 emergency "flat" situations, even with ridiculously low miles on them, and seemingly good tread life, I was forced to upgrade. Magically once I put a good set of Michelins on the vehicle the propensity to pick up objects and go flat disappeared.

I hope I can get 2 years on my Goodyears? They seem fine now.

 

We used to say, Goodyears, they are good for about a year.

 

Which tire came with yours?

 

With snow in NE I would suggest getting a set of dedicated winter tires like the Michelin X-Ice with winter wheels. For the rest of the year you could run the Ecopia EP422 or Energy Saver A/S. the Continental PureContact and the Ecopia EP422 would be my choices if you insist on running the same tires year round. Both are high mileage efficient tires with decent snow traction.

 

That's what I do. Run winters on separate wheels. Cheap insurance compared to the price of the car and saves the good tires for spring through fall.
