tires

[IMHYBRID]

I have 2 Prius (2004 & 2006). The 2004 has Michelin Hydroedge tires with 37000 miles and they are worn out. The tires had a nice ride over the life of the tire. They were less noisy than the Falken after they broke in. The ride and handling stayed the same over the life of the tire.

The 2006 has Falken ZE512. The tires have 18,679 miles and they are worn out. These tires were initially quite but as they wore they became noisy. The ride and handling was better in the beginning but became less as they wore.

I am replacing the Falken with the Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires. Has anyone ran these tires that would like to share their experience?

I hope this information will be helpful to all. The 2004 tires were purchased at Sam's Club and we will see how well Sam's holds their warranty. Will check back in and let you know !

That is wretched mileage for those tires. Don't the HydroEdge's have a 90,000 mile warranty? Do let us know how you make out.

My Hydroedges have 67,500 miles on now. They look just fine still.

I've been running them at 44/42 since shortly after getting them. How about you?

yes we run the same tire pressure, but I live in West Virginia, country roads! they kill tires.
