    There are 3 potential tires that could come mounted on a new 2016 Prius w/ 15" wheels. Luck or unluck of the draw it seems. No rhyme or reason.

    Dunlop Enasaves (I have there and love em)

    Toyo somethings...

    And

    I forget the third.

    Edit: just saw you were in Australia, might be different there. Above was for USA.

    mine is Toyo NanoEnergy A29, P195/65R15

    Seems ok. I normally buy Michelins, since they give me 50K to 60K.
    I'll research on mileage/Fuel savings then!

    If we like our OEM tires, can the dealer order them for us?

    Dealership or any tire retailer. There's nothing special about them.

    I was just curious about the price. The Toyo website doesn't even list my "Nanoenergy" tires on their website.
    (And couldn't find them on Tire Rack.) Toyo has a couple of all-season tires under a different name; sold to retail customers. The dealer parts dept I spoke with can order those, but not the OEM's, according to this guy.

    Yeah maybe they're made in Japan? This can be a problem, say if you have an unrepairable flat, and don't want mismatched tires. What do they say, at least replace in pairs? Meh, cross bridges as you come to them. :)

    Yep, OEM made in Japan. Made to Toyota's ordered specifications... A softer rubber compound, which gives the illusion to the prospective customer that the car has a nice smooth ride...:D

    ...And that's why most OEM tires only last 25,000 miles or so. (There's several articles about this on the internet.) Although, some people manage to get 50K out of a set of OEM's. The Bridgestone 17" OEM tires seem much better than the 15" tires found on non-touring models.

    I was just at a dealer, and I saw a lot of Dunlop 15" tires on the new 2017's (Two, Two Eco, Three.)

    I actually got 65,000 miles out of my OEM tires on the 2008 Prius. Bridgestones.

    Our OEM's, still on the car, are Michelin Pilot hx mxm4 215/45R17 made in USA, manufactured Feb of 2009. The car has 63,000~ km's, with maybe 15,000 km's done on different snow tires. So about 48,000 km, translates to 30,000 miles. They're around 6/32" ~ 7/32" remaining tread depth, about 1/2 they're usable life, down to the wear bars. So maybe 60,000 miles life, though common sense and their age will dictate replacement sooner I sure.

    None of the cars I've owned, ever went over 50,000 miles total on the ODO. :LOL: My 2005 Camry came close, at 49,500 at trade-in. When I say I'm a low mileage driver, I mean it!

    So, I guess my OEM Toyo's will last for my lifetime! :ROFLMAO:

    I remember putting my "good" spare tyre in the rotation pattern, then had a blowout a few days later. Turned out to be 9-10 yrs old, and the tyre chap said that Bridgestone recommended tyres be thrown away at 6 yrs old.

    Yeah that's likely going to trump tread depth for me. :(
