    Hi Folks: Bought a 2008 Prius Touring Model and traded my 2006 Standard Prius. Always used 42/40 in 2006 tires (43,000 miles) and had 1/2 tread at trade. What tire pressure is the best for the 16" Touring tires? Already placed 2 lbs over door recommended pressure and car rides great.

    Thanks Wally

    I have another question about the 16" Touring Tires too.

    Is that ok to down-size to 15" Rim & Tires ? Since Prius Touring had different Spring-configuration & VSC.

    It very hard to allocate 16" Touring tires in Canada. When my 16" wear-out ..... I rather go for best 15" Low Reistance tires if applicable

    Look forward to feedback...Thanks

    the bridgestone turanzas have a sidewall rating of 51, which can be found... where else? on the sidewall of the tire.

    that being said, i run my tires at 50/48.
