    I'm finally dumping my Integrity tires and opting for Goodyear ComforTreads, which seems to be a popular option according to posts on Priuschat. Can those of you operating with ComforTreads suggest a suitable tire pressure to optimize mileage? I was running the Integrity tires at 40/38.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I'm runing my Comfortreds at 40/38 and it's a nice ride. I tried 42/40 and it seemed a bit rough. After 1000 miles of break-in, my milage has returned to 52-53 MPG. Much better ride than the Integrities and about the same MPG.

    I'm almost back to the 48MPG I was getting with my Integrities with my ComforTreads at 38/36. At 40psi and above, I was getting too much "bouncing around" over low speed bumps.
