And any tire will wear improperly with bad alignment.

If you read through years of PC history, you find that Integritys often disapoint their Prius owners ... to the tune of about 3 dissatisfieds to every one person who likes them. Ours too, were shot by 12K miles. Our Michelins (now well over 70K miles) don't even look worn yet. Running 50lbs too. No problems.

btw our Lexus hybrid BadYears were also shot in record time. Same swithch to Michelins, same happy results.

The Bridgestone's on my touring are just about shot at 33k miles. I do agree with all that the OEM tires are junk. However, that's true of most cars.

If you go with runflats, definitely get the tire warranty as runflats can't be repaired.

(The 16's that go on the touring are a PITA to find in stock here in Austin despite being used on the Mini Cooper as well.)

Over 65,000 on my OEM goodyears, 40/38 tp. I rotate about 10,000 miles. I had a nail hole flat at about 12,000 miles, and had it patched from the inside. No other problems. I'll probably go for costco Micheleins. My wife's outback has over 70,000 on her Costco Micheleins, and they still look good. I am one to drive the tires as long as I can, and see no real problems with the OEMs. Any tire, any time can get a flat. That's why they make air!

i'm at 30k miles on the Touring's Turanzas and no problems yet... in fact, i checked the wear the other day and it looks like they are just getting into the "sweet spot" where they are worn enough to give better mileage but enough tread to still handle like a dream.

i'll probably get some nokians in a year or two when there's another 30-45k miles on 'em

The first nail is probably pluggable, maybe $5.

I don't notice a measurable difference between the Goodyear TripleTreds on my '04 compared to my wife's '06 running on the Integrities. My lifetime mileage is higher, but that is primarily because she has more short trips. She also doesn't use CC on the Interstate and I do so even though we seem to get the same mileage on a given long Interstate route there is that difference. My Integrities are in the garage with maybe 5K miles on them. I replaced them with the TTs the first winter and ran those for 3 years. Got Hakka RSi for last winter, saving the TTs with ~60K miles on them for a few more years of 'summer' driving. When they go, I guess I'll have to wear out the Integrities.

I have a 2008 pax 6 with almost 30k on it. I am in need of tires and am confused with all the tires offered. What is the best tire to get with out making my mileage worse... I would rather it get better! Thanks

I am very happy with my Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max that I put on almost 10,000 miles ago. They are quieter than the Integrities and the mpg is at least as good. They have a 51 psi sidewall maximum rating, so you can run them a bit higher psi than the Integrities if you choose.
