Re: Pimping my Prius II
Today I put new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires with König Zero-In light sport alloys (see pic) on my 2007 Prius (switching out the original Goodyear Integrity at 30,200 miles).
I went for the Primacy for the handling and fuel economy. A proven tire. I was eyeing the Michelin Energy Saver A/S for a bit, but liked the Primacy handling aspect for my commute. We'll see how well the MPG holds up, but even driving from the tire company I was happy with the improved handling of the car, the feel of the road, and how much more quiet the "road noise" was.
The rims were a choice I'd been considering but didn't make the decision until they showed me them on the car, which is when I knew I had to get them. I like the look of chrome wheels, but I didn't want the added weight. So I went with the sporty looking light alloys. Interesting aspect with the wind resistance. I guess I didn't think of that.
