Default Re: 02 Prius just got new tires

Hi JeffD

I agree about the rating of the tires I just bought, they were somewhat of a panic buy. I always pay attention to the experiences of others and plan my purchases accordingly but with the cracks in the sidewall popping up over night and seeing them when I was out running around, there simply wasnt time to do the best thing possible.

The tires handle well and the car no longer feels like its riding on fred flinstone solid rock tires. I filled the tank today and zeroed the mfd and the results are still exceeding what I had in the way of mpgs, YET, it feels like there is more effort required to get the car rolling and there seems to be less ability to coast which in my mind means less mpg's but this will take time to sort out more accurately.

take it easy

Tony
