You need to be more specific in your requirements:

1) maximum handling
2) maximum efficiency

Don't say "both" because that lets those who make a recommendation decide on your requirements ... you might as well talk to a tire salesman.

GOOD LUCK!

MOre specific the Hydroedge ended up with terrible cupping and I need to return to the orginal tires (Integrity) or with something else... Mileage was about the same for (both GY and Michelin) 52 mpg!

I just need some advice for the Next set... for my 05 Pruis (110 K)

Was the cupping front, rear, left, or right?

Do you have the numbers from a recent alignment report? We need both front and rear, toe and camber.

Abnormal wear is an alignment problem and needs to be fix BEFORE the next set of tires. New tires on bad alignment ensures they will wear out too soon.
