Tire Info from Michelin

As I noted previously, I'd probably be down to 2/32" @ 55K. Less than 5% of our mileage is on long expressway/interstate runs. Most is around metro Atlanta secondary roads. Lots'o stopping and starting on hills, twisting, winding, reduce speed to 25mph ess curves @ significant grades. Although since, I've been trying to improve our mileage through better driving habits, I'm sure we'll get better mileage on this set. It already looks like we'll go an extra 2K, which is a 5% improvement over the 40K.

 

Does anyone know of the Yokohama Avid T4 or Yokohama YK520 are LRR?

 

Stock is 185/65R15.

I bought Michelin MXV4 tires for my 2005 Prius in April 2007, and after 30,000 miles, I'm mad to find there's 3/32nd tread left on them. The tires are evenly worn, and have been rotated twice since buying the tires. The dealership where I purchased the tires would only give me $132.00 credit on a set of HydroEdge tires (pre-credit cost: $610.00).

I'm not buying more Michelins. Consumer Report's #1 rated tire is the Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread. Does anyone know anything about Firestone tires? DRuud

 

Where did you obtain the LRR figures that show the Nokian WRs are lower in rolling resistance than Michelin? I can't find ratings like that anywhere.

Thanks for all the info. Now just have to digest it.
