    Hard times hit and I need tires. My Prius guy offered me Summit Ultramax a/s tires at a ridiculous price if included with some other work. He swears by them and installs them on all his Toro cars and his cars.
    This costs less than half of what I was going to pay for Mich Defenders.
    I would really like to know of anyone here has tried them and what they thought of the tire.
    Thanks a billion.
    No... I really do not trust reviews online.

    I found those tires on the Walmart website, The specs look good, but they're only a 50K mile tire.

    Take a look at the Armstrong Blue-Trac 95H XL, they're good for 85K miles and closer to the Michelin specs. I've only had these on my car for a month and did take a mpg hit. They ride better than the OEMs that got punctures in two of the 4 tires. These are heavier tires with twice as much "meat" than the OEMs.
