What tires did you get on your 2010?

[HTMLSpinnr]

Crossing my fingers mine will come w/ Ecopia's, but chances are they'll be the Avids as well.

Bridgestone, Toyo or Michelins.

I don't see a Toyo 215/45 17 that fits the bill (all season tires). Michelin has several options, but the one I'd heard rumored is not the best of Michelin's tires. The only Bridgestone all-season in the market looks to be a pretty good tire: Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position. It isn't as costly as the Michelin Pilot, but I think it will have better winter weather performance, longer wear and better mileage.

You can guess which one I'm hoping for!!

I swore they said Toyo as one of the 17 inch tires during the online chat. I sure hope I dont get the Michelin's but I bet I am... I had Michelins on my Acura TL Type S and I hated them. Here's to hoping for the Bridgestones as well.

Perhaps it was Kumho Ecstas or Yokohama Avids (H4S)? Either one would be pretty good, I'd say.

Here's what Doug said during the chat:

Prius Team (Doug): 15": Bridgestone/Yokohama/Dunlop
Prius Team (Doug): 17": Bridgestone/Michelin/Toyo


I'd be happy with just getting the car already! lol But even happier if ti didn't have the Michelin's...

I feel your pain. I won't be much longer now.

Do you know of any other Prius V Priority orders?

I believe the Yokohama Avid is all-season tires.
Japanese people are receiving summer tires something like...
15inch: Bridgestone ECOPIA EP25
17inch: Bridgestone TURANZA ER33
17inch: Toyo PROXES R30
17inch: Michelin PRIMACY HP

Hmmm, I know I've seen others on here with Prius V orders but not certain if any were Priority orders. Can't wait to join the post a pic of your 2010 thread! lol Erica, we need live gps data on our cars, come on now hehe

I don't believe the Proxes R30 is available in America. I know it doesn't mean it couldn't ship with the cars, but I haven't seen it. Also, if it is a summer tire, it won't be on a car headed to Chicago!!

The Turanza ER33 is an interesting tire choice. It also is a summer tire, though, and I doubt is headed my way.

I'd be glad to post what our V has . . . only the Dealer says it's still a few days away. I was about to post the same, " ....any other Prius V Priority orders?" question. Great minds think alike
