    Howdy folks,

    I just pop in every once in a while with some questions which I'm sure can be annoying to you regulars. My Prius is rapidly nearing time for new tires. I am a bit surprised the Goodyears are as worn as they are at ~32K miles. I may have been a bit lax keeping on the tire pressure, but I expected better mileage for sure. Is there a summary of the good tire options somewhere in Priuschat? I would be curious to know about the best replacement irrespective of cost and the best bang for the buck replacement. Most folks seem to prefer anything over the originals. My preference would be for best wear and fuel economy, then performance (maybe prioritize economy over wear, but both over performance). FWIW I run the stock pressures, 35F/33 rear.

    Thanks, Doug
