Goodyear Integrity Mileage

Well given that you don't have to deal with snow and not a lot of rain, it should be fine.

Up here, I wouldn't bother purchasing the stock tyres.

If I lived in Arizona I could have gotten 50K Plus out of them easily. Even wear across all of them and no problems with any feathering/cupping.

Even though most of the Integrities don't seem to be down to the wear-bars at 40k, the wet weather performance is so bad that most people who live in inclement weather climates seem to be changing them out by then.

At 37k, I had tread left and wasn't all the way down to the wear-bars before I switched to a set of the Costco Michelin X-Radials. As stated, if I lived in a no rain/no snow area, I probably could have made it to 45k (or more).

Ditto but I was quite close to the bars. The bars are at 2/32nds right? It was pretty much "worn" to me esp. since the edges of my tyres were bald! Yes, bald, and I ran them at 38/36 religiously.

no kidding. I was basking in 70-80 degree weather during my entire trip. Then came back home to 40 deg temps.

You SOB! You brought the cold weather down with you. Now it's only mid 50s around here. Hahaha

I'll see how the semi worn Integrities do this winter in the wet and make up my mind then.

lol.... try barely above freezing. We got snowed on twice (once was a big dump of 15-19cm the day I got my new tyres, the other is a light dusting yesterday).

And it usually doesn't snow this early, although it did last year (usually we see some wet snow in Dec and real accumulations of 1-10cm in Jan/Feb before it gets washed away a few days later by a rain storm)

guys, it hit 80 here today. i'm all confused, i'm so glad next winter i'll be closer to home

well, since this ancient thread has been resurrected, our integrities had to go at 28k.

I will also definitely get another set of Integrity. My goal is to keep the MPG up. Until such time as another brand/model has surpassed the MPG that the Integrity provides, it will be on my Prius. My wife's Lexus RX300 came from the factory with Integrity and all was fine until I played engineer and switched to Dunlops at 36k miles. After the Dunlops, then the Michelins. To this day, at 70,000 miles, my wife is still dreaming of getting the Integrity back on her car. It's quiet, comfortable, and good on gas! She's a fast driver but she's comfortable with the Integrity anyway.

Like I said, it's fine on dry roads and it's the tyres that got me the 60mpg tank but it snows here and that snow usually isn't the fluffy stuff found in the rest of the Canada, it's the wet stuff that usually turns to slush as the rain washes it away 2 days later lol.

Even on damp roads, I was sliding around.

My wife's 05 has 55,000 with the original tires, I usually run them about 4lbs over recomended. She gets an avg of 49-50 mpg and thats 90% hi way at 70-80 mph. Tires are not down to wear bars yet, no uneven wear, no cupping. I rotate every oil change (5k) front to back. Will be replacing tires when winter gets here, 79 degrees yesterday!
