    have just over 24k on my '12 prius; the oem bridgestones on the front are worn quite badly on the insides. will probably replace all 4. looking for the best combination of quiet, (very important) and mpg. currently at 51.6. tire mileage would be good also. don't we all want it all? thanks for your insight and suggestions.

    If they're worn on the shoulders, your pressure is TOO LOW. Not unexpected when using the recommended pressure.

    Anyhow, the Michelin Energy Saver A/S is pretty near the top of the list for your stated criteria. Not the best choice for snow country though.

    From what I have read here and researched I am trading in my new set of tires that came with my 2012 prius, Accelera brand, for a new set of Michelin AS Energy savers Saturday morning. I have done a vast amount of research and living in the south I think they will work best for me. Good luck
