With so many new LRR tires becoming available I decided it may be helpful to have a current list with specifications in one place. I am listing all of the available tires rated as LRR. If you notice any that I have missed please let me know and I'll add them to my list. I'm still sick so I'll make this first post more informative once I feel a bit better. Until then here is a short list of tire that I find to be most useful for saving money and fuel. When choosing a tire for fuel efficiency and economics it is important to take tire life into account. While some tires rate higher in LRR, others have extreme longevity. In some cases a tire that has to be replaced twice due to a low treadwear rating may cost you more in the long run. In other cases the tire with the lowest rolling resistance may be cheap enough that you can purchase 2 sets and still save money compared to a more expensive but longer lived tire. Other factors that may influence your tire choice is manufacturing process and tire material ingredients. Nokian and Yokohama stand out in this respect because their tires are made with less toxic materials and/or use less petroleum in the manufacturing process (80% less with the Yokohama). The Nokian plant is powered by hydroelectric power and the Yokohama plant is rated zero emissions. Another thing to consider when choosing a new tire is revolutions per mile. You will want to choose a tire that closely matches the revolutions per mile of your OEM tire. While in my experience the revolutions per mile has not had a dramatic impact on my speedometer or MPG, it is something to consider if the revs/mile are drastically different. Please see the link below for a better definition of revolutions per mile and how it can affect your mpg and speedometer. For information on the Prius v (Wagon) please proceed to the bottom of this post. Your tire choice is personal and should be based on your specific needs. If you live in a very wet climate then a good tire for you should emphasize wet handling and traction. If you live in a very dry climate then a LRR summer tire may be all you need. For those in snowy regions or those who desire traction and handling above allow else you may want to consider a tire that emphasizes those points even if you take a larger hit to mpg. The most important factor you should consider is safety. Without good traction any mpg savings you get from a tire can be wiped out in seconds due to an accident. Tirerack.com conducts tests on tires that attempt to rate tires based on traits like wet and dry braking and handling, mpg, noise, comfort, etc.. They also include web-charts to show how well a tire performs in a certain category. Use these charts to determine if a particular tire fits your criteria in that category. For example: I wanted a 17" tire that "was quiet, handled well and excelled in wet traction. Using the web-charts I was able to determine that the Primacy MXM4 was by far the best choice for me. One additional trait to consider is temperature and climate. At temperatures below 40 degrees, traction can be drastically reduced unless you are rolling on a tire designed for cold winter temperatures. This applies to dry traction conditions as well because summer and all-season tires lose their pliability in cold temps. In some northern states or countries, an all-season tire just doesn't cut it. Some all-season tires can handle light snow when temps are warmer but they will never compare to the traction and overall safety of a true winter/snow tire. for safety reasons I recommend purchasing a second set of wheels and tires dedicated to winter driving.

Good wet braking. not great in snow. Low noise and comfortable. The hypermilers dream tire! My personal favorite! Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max = Great mpg but behind the others in road noise, handling, and overall road manners and performance. Great tread wear but lacking wet traction. Good snow/ice traction but behind the EP422, barely. Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 = Great mpg! It is behind the Energy Saver A/S but higher than the Fuel Max. So-so wet traction, great snow traction, poor handling tire and lacking in dry braking and cornering ability. Comfortable and low noise. Tread wear average. Continental PureContact with EcoPlus = Very high tread wear, excellent wet braking and handling, great steering feel but rides a bit rough. A Grand Touring tire which should be compared to other tires in this category. I.e. it is likely less efficient than Standard Touring tires like the OE units. Michelin Premier A/S = Very high tread wear, excellent wet braking (best in category) and handling. A Grand Touring tire which should be compared to other tires in this category. I.e. it is likely less efficient than Standard Touring tires like the OE units. Pirelli Cinturato P7 = Very comfortable tire with great fuel efficiency for its class. Only available in 16" and 17" sizes. May be a good replacement tire for the OE 17" tires. Less traction and handling than the competition but by a small margin. *Tires are listed in the following format: UTQG Rating, Max Psi, Tread Depth, Tire weight, Revolutions per mile, Rim Protector, Price at Tirerack or other retailer. 175/65/15 (Prius c OEM size) Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 (All-Season) UTQG=480 A A, 44PSI, 10/32, 17LBS, 869, $81 Yokohama AVID Ascend (Grand Touring All-Season) UTQG=800 A B, 44PSI, 12/32, 18LBS, 866, $89 Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max (All-Season) UTQG=580 A A, 51PSI, 10/32, 16LBS, ?, $104 Continental ContiProContact (Grand Touring All-Season) UTQG=400 AA A, 51PSI, 10/32, 16LBS, ? $99 185/65/15 (2004-2009 Standard U.S. OEM tire size) Grand Touring Summer Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 UTQG=400 A B, 44PSI, 10/32, 17LBS, 857, $80 Yokohama dB Super E-Spec UTQG=460 A A, 44PSI, 10/32, 18LBS, 848, $114 Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max (Viva Authority Fuel Max at Walmart) UTQG=580 A A, 51PSI, 10/32, 16LBS, 855, $86 Kumho eco Solus HM KR22 UTQG=800 A B, 44psi, 11/32, 19lbs, 855 $68 (100,000mile warranty) Nokian eNTYRE UTQG=720, 16.8LBS, 11/32, 851, $113 (TiresbyWeb.com) Nokian H UTQG=320 A A, 17LBS, 11/32, 851, $124 All Season Goodyear Integrity UTQG=460 A B, 44PSI, 10/32, 17lbs, 855 $73 Yokohama Avid Ascend (T) UTQG=800 A B, 44PSI, 12/32, 20LBS, 847, $87 Cooper GFE UTQG=540 A B, ?PSI, 10/32, ?LBS, ??

Be careful if you are considering a Michelin Primacy MXV4 that it actually has the Green X logo on the sidewall if you care about LRR. Not all Primacy MXV4 tires are LRR.
One small correction...my Ecopia EP100 (215/45/17) weighs 20 lbs, per Bridgestone website: Product Details: Ecopia EP100
An addition for 215/45/17 category: Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 (Grand Touring All-Season) 300 AA A, 44psi, 11/32, 21lbs, 844 $230 These are the stock tire we got. FWIW, the Michelin Primacy is high on my replacement list. Interesting, the Pilot price at TireRack has the comment "closeout". BTW, I really like TireRack's option to pick your vehicle, and then only show LRR choices. Also, I think they should have some LRR index as published knowledge: LRR is not a simple yes/no. There's a wide gamut within the group.
Members have lauded a Nokian and Hankook (sorry, I'll have to track down specifics) for performance *and* fuel economy. Is LRR only part of the story for fuel economy ? I cannot guess what other variable is at play here. Maybe tire weight ?
Thanks for the additions. There are more tires available. I'll be sure to add them. I'll also look for 18+ tires as well.
I agree with you. There are indeed other factors which si why I added weight and revs per mile. Until manufactures start listing exact numbers for LRR these are about the only factors we can compare. I also added the warranty for some tires because even if they have a slightly higher rolling resistance, they could still be more affordable in the long run if they last say 100,000 miles vs. a tire warrantied for 50,000 miles.
The Nokian Entyre appears to have the best wear rating of 700. Anyone needing to change tires should take a serious look at these tires. http://www.nokiantires.com/files/nokiantires/PDF/eNTYRE_tech_info.pdf al
Wow, great sounding tire...but not avail in Prius 17" size. Hopefully, they will have more tire size avail in the future.
The Kumho tire has an even higher rating and its much cheaper. I wonder how much longer it would last vs. the fuel saved. One factor that favors the Nokian is that it is a greener tire and is manufactured in a carbon neutral plant much like the dB Super E-Spec. So for those interested in an eco-friendly tire, those would be good choices.
There is some very good information on this on the Cleanmpg.com forum, here is a link to the article. When round and black becomes lean and green - CleanMPG Forums
Primacy MXV4 is listed as having Greenx on the Michelin site: Primacy MXV4 | Michelin Tires These are what I ordered since Energy Saver A/S have been unavailable and these tires are getting really good reviews and my Yokos have 39k on them...way overdue.
Maybe you should create a google document or something to keep updated with the changes? I think a spreadsheet would work well for this information, actually. Clearly, things will continue to change, and you could even share the google document (I believe) and allow others to add additional items or even remove those which have become discontinued. I think this is definitely good to have. Too bad we can't get a rating of sorts from PC members to give an idea of how they like the tires and any comments during the course of their ownership.
I like the idea. It could then be shared between forums or list servers as well. I'll talk to Tony about it. He is pretty good with this sort of thing. Then I wouldn't have to update the page in both the GenII and GenIII section.
Walmart sells a rebranded version of the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max as the Goodyear Viva Authority Fuel Max in 185 65 15 My mileage is better than the Integrities
What happened to the Yokahamma 338 tires that came as orginal equipment on 2010 Prius? Are they discontinued already? From what I can gather on Yokahamma's web site, it sounds like the Envigor is the LRR tire now, is that correct?
They were Avid S33s Just looked at the Envigor and it has the same tread pattern as the S33, did notice the tread rating is now 560 instead of 320 so it should be a much better tire. My only complaint is quick wear and hydroplaning, which is odd with the tread style.
