Default Tire Recommendations 2005 Prius

My Goodyear Integrity factory tires are in dire need of replacement at 26000 miles. I am thinking of replacing them with Goodyear Assurance Comfort Tred because they rated high in Consumer Reports. Has anyone had any luck with these tires? What PSI do orher Prius drivers recommend in tires to maximize the MPG? I have to replace these tires very soon.

I had good luck getting Sumoto H4 tires last year from my Toyota service center for $45/each. They are rated low-rolling resistance and have worked out great.

The only problem has been the local service center didn't read the installation guidelines about placing the colored dots. Also, they failed to align the wheels to my standards. Regardless, the H4s have worked very nicely.
