Those stock Integrity tires on my 2006 were terrible in snow. I bought a set of Blizzak tires for winter, which are a huge improvement. For summer I just got some FuelMax tires. They are fine so far and the mileage is great (up from 48 toward 51). I have not tested the FuelMax tires in rain or snow yet.

I was really disappointed in how long they lasted - 30K miles. BTW, I normally run 42/40 and the outsides of the tread had far more wear, which tells me they were still underinflated.
so how is the mileage now?

Something between 20K and 50K.

Costo special Michelin X-Radials

5% hit on MPG compared to OEM integrities, but I like the traction. seems more stable on the highway.

Hi All,

I am sold on Michelin Hydroedges, since I had them on my Saturn SL2. Fantastic tires for 3 seasons here in Chicagoland, and acceptable for winter, as roads are usually plowed, and not much deeper than 1 inch of snow when I am driving.

My Intregrities were pretty well gone at 24K. I'm not that bad of a driver, and don't know how some people reportedly get over 50K. They must not turn corners.
Anyway, GoodYear came through with a wear-out warranty adjustment, and I saved about 45% on the replacement cost of a set of Assurance FuelMax tires. Plus a small rebate.
They are rated somewhat better than the Intregrities, and have a 65K warranty. Time will tell how long they will last; initially my mpg has increased. Other tires may perform better, but the price was right on these.

am i the only one getting less mpg with the GY Assurance Fuelmax? its been 3 tanks. i drive the same way as before, inflate them with the same pressure (stock pressure). and it dropped 2 mpg. i dont drive a prius, but i dont think it would make a difference if the tires are intended for better fuel mileage.

You must be, and that's hard to explain. I'm assuming you put on the OE size? I have seen several posts of an increase in mpg with Fuel Max tires. I am still evaluating; the indicated mpg increased, but did the actual mpg increase? I'm only working on second tank with the new tires.
