Our last family car was a Previa and it ran well for most of its 14 years/240K miles, with two girls taught to drive stick. We did, however, burn through a lot of tires in the first half of its "life" before a non-Toyota mechanic convinced us to buy a larger tire-- same rims-- that tracked MUCH better and avoided the uneven wear that plagued the factory spec tires. This made me a believer in getting the right tire, but I can't say I've very knowledgeable about the specifics of tire design/performance.
The Integrities did well enough during a snowy trip to Utah, and I felt no problems towing, but looking at the tires the shoulders seem surprisingly worn. They have been regularly rotated by Toy.
