    I have the factory tires on the Prius. I have had very good luck with yokohama tires on other cars. Has anyone else tried them on a Prius? They work great on my other car.

    Yokohama AVID H4S in 195/60-R15 works fine for my Prius currently.

    Handles much better than OEM especially in wet feeling "heavier" to turn, the upper-limit to make it squeal especially on corners is very high so it really sticks, about same MPG as before, hi-freq road noise is reduced dramatically. Low-freq road noise still comes through, and it's fairly harsh pumped to 42/40. I run it at 39/37 now.
