Prius tire recommendations
MasterBlaster:
Split from opening thread and created a new subject. You're welcome, noob. :D
Bunni:
Hey he can't be good at everything :)
SunnyDaze:
The treadwear on the Potenzas is only 160. That's very low, and explains why they wear out in no time.
Also on Tire Rack are the Sumitomo HTR T4's. They've got very comparable ratings (7/10 overall) to the Yokahama's that Pepe mentioned and cost 52 dollars less.
I will get you a price on tires from my tire guy tomorrow, Anders.
OldiesButGoodies:
I tried to read up on the connection between thread wear and rolling resistance. It appears to be much more complicated than one would assume. I would err on the side of survey ratings and affordability. That simplifies it.
SunnyDaze:
Treadwear ratings are supposed to be uniform, based on government standards. In all reality, each tire company can use a different baseline for their comparisons. That being said, whether exaggerated or not, a treadwear rating of 160 is very low.
