I'm at 40,500 miles and have been doing rotations every 10,000 miles. Not much canyon running, but sometimes moderate cornerings. Rear tires very close to bald...this is dangerous, don't do it!

I've always heard the shallower the tread, the better the cornering power. Unless it rains.

I always put the worst tires on the front, whether the car is FWD or RWD. Nothing like the rear end breaking loose in a corner for creating some driving excitement.

I have done nearly 20k since Jan 12, 06. The tires look almost like new. Some minor rounding at the edges. I run about 35/30 psi, but I'm not good about rotating. I did it at 9,000 after having a nail induced leak repaired. I plan to do it any day now, just haven,t gotton around to it. I expect to see at least 40,000 at this rate of wear. They're not the best tires I've had, just to lazy to do anything about them. On my Subaru Impreza, I changed from the stock Bridgestone RE92 to Goodyear Eagles at 10,000 miles. RE92 is much worse than the Goodyears. I have 75,000 on the Eagles, including about a dozen auto-xs.

My prius only got 19 miles out of the Integrities.

I had rented a Prius enough to decide that I'd had enough of those tires before I bought a Prius. The first place I drove my Prius was from the dealer to a tire shop a mile away to replace the tires.

Just got rid of my Integrity tires after about 35,000 miles (I use snow tires in the winter) and replaced them with Bridgestone RE960AS all season tires. What a difference in handling! I noticed that the Integritys were pretty prone to hydroplaning and were noisy, but they did last a while.

Great upgrade!

I've wanted to know how the new Potenza RE 960AS Pole Position tires are on a Prius, especially with regards to rolling resistance and fuel efficiency. Can you share a review after you've driven these a few thousand miles?

[Jerry P]

Be glad to...and it won't take long since I average over 20,000 miles per year. I plan to leave them on until the first 'big' snow here.

Mine probably had another 5k of tread left in them, but I got a flat that required replacement. Too bad this was a couple months before I discovered PC, so I didn't get Comfortreds. I don't remember what I got, actually. I do know they came from Sam's Club.

My '00 Tundra shows rotating tires the "crossing" method.[/b]

That's strange. I had always heard that radial tires (which I would assume are used on an '00 Tundra) should only be rotated on the same side and never crossed. Something about the inner steel threads wearing in a specific direction because of the radial design, and when the tire is turned around to the other side in a crossing rotation, it presents the possibility of stressing the threads to the point of eventually breaking and the tire coming apart. Whether this actually ever happens, I don't know.

This wasn't a consideration with old, bias-ply tires so cross-rotating them wasn't a problem.

I'd always heard that too, but that's what it has in the owner's manual. So I think it varies by manufacturer. My pre-Prius Volvo called for criss-crossing, and my Honda CRX said keep them on the same side. Googling turns up lots of articles, I guess because like oil changes, it's one of the few things you can still do yourself... No concensus on whether crossing or same side is better, though. Lots of warning about dire things happening in your criss-cross them, and yet other articles claiming that the same-side thing is a myth and that criss crossing results in more even wear. In the absence of anything else, I follow the owner's manual. No dire results with the Tundra I can see, the original Dunlops went about 25K and the Michelin X's have about 40K on them and are holding up well, although they do seem to need balancing about once a year or so.

I'm at just over 69,000 miles, and about ready to replace my second set of Integrities. I believe the first set was replaced at 34220 with not much tread left. Replacement reason, however, was due to an object puncturing one tire at the sidewall, and having plugs in the others. There was minimal tread left at the time.

I'm in a similar situation now. 1 tire is at the wear bars. The other 3 all have small leaks that I've plugged but never gotten around to having patched and don't have much tread left. Both fronts feel as if they have flat spots (never re-balanced, though don't feel off at speeds up to 80mph). I'm seriously considering if I want to upgrade this time around or keep the same type.

34-35,000 miles seems to be my average on these tires. I do corner somewhat hard (I'll be considering touring for my next Prius), so some of my wear is shoulder wear. My pressures are maintained at or close to 42/40.

Haven't yet settled one one specific tire. I'm not much for a MPG hit, but I do want a tire that has the potential of lasting longer while providing better traction. Sam's Club seems to offer the best prices on tires in general once Road Hazard and installation is considered. That does, unfortunately, limit my selection somewhat. They also have an "Allegra" tire by Goodyear that they market exclusively. Does anyone have experience w/ that tire?
