Default Re: quieter tires (with same or better MPG)?

I have all tires at about 35 PSI. Toyota recommends only 30 PSI I think... a little too low in my book, so I conservatively add a few more PSI onto any manfacturer label recommendations.

Steve. Thanks a bunch for your great explanataion on why the TCH tires squeal. Yeah... guilty, guilty as charged. I'm a lead foot -- but a safe one -- in many respects. Your description is right on! I try to adjust driving the TCH a little differently then my ICE Mazda, but I admit to the rabbit lead foot and slolam cornering!!!! Hehehe. I'll give the Energy S8 tires a break... but I am seeing some sidewall cracking -- due to being out in the sun all day I imagine. They need some more UV stabilizers.

2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid base Jasper Pearl -- I CANNOT seem to get that Average Mileage log to display here: 30.0 MPG as of 7/2008!!
