    What tire would be good for a 2017 prime in Phoenix AZ (where today's high, in mid-April is 91F)?
    Road noise is a big concern for me.
    BTW, I only got 22,000K on my original Toyo tires. (yes, i am a low mileage driver, my other car is a bicycle)

    If the car regularly is used for freeway trips, consider a higher speed rating. That should mean the rubber holds up to heat better.

    Europe has more graduated rating of tire properties for consumers. I think road noise is one they include.

    I average 85k-100k miles on my Michelin tires on my hybrids since 2008. Defenders and Primacy AS lately.

    They are so good I replace OEM tires when new unless they are Michelin. Generally sell the OEM for half the Michelin costs.

    I buy tires at Costco and wait for their every other month sale on Michelins. Plus get their free rotations and balances which save money and extend the tire life.

    Driving habits help as well. No routine hard braking by anticipating stops and no tire scrubbing by moving the steering at a stop. The braking technique has saved money on brakes as well, original front pads, rear parking drums and all four rotors at 305,000 miles. Rear pads. changed at 250k since we were in there for one rear hub bearing making noise.

    Living in a colder clime, I stick with "All Weather Tires" (not All Season) and always check for a good rolling resistance rating (LRR). This typically limits me to tires that last 50k to 60k miles at best.
