    I replaced the Goodyear Eagle tires on my Prius and it's amazing how much better these are. In parking lots at low speeds the Goodyears were heavy and took some effort to turn the steering wheel. The Continentals feel much lighter to turn, if that makes sense.

    I noticed a slight improvement on MPG (about 2-3 mpg). I don't think the Goodyear Eagle is a LRR tire if I remember correctly.

    The road noise on the Goodyears on highways was tolerable, but these are an improvement in that department as well.

    I purchased these on TireRack in January, but now the website says they don't make them for the Prius anymore. Maybe Continental released a newer LRR tire to replace the TrueContact.
