Tires for 2001 Prius
 

I need to replace the tires on my 2001 Prius. The current set are Goodyear Aquatred 3 which I chose for a little more traction than the low rolling resistance Bridgestones which were OEM. The Aquatreds cut my mileage some and I'm willing to live with that, but it's been over 4 years since I bought those and I'm hoping that there are some better alternatives available. Any advice gratefully received.

Hi,

I've been happy with the Sumitomo T4s, and picked up my second set this summer. The first set had completed 50,000 miles but a side-wall screw brought that experiment to an early end. But then I like low rolling resistance tires and run them at 51 psi. Others seem to like wider tires for better handling.
