I believe 30 is a little low. It might feel squishy/sluggish when you try to turn quickly (like when dodging debris on the highway) not to mention lower miles per gallon, but as long as your tires are wearing evenly, it is really up to your preference, you should try out different pressures and see which ones you like. Here is some quick info, I didn't intend to go to a prius site, I just clicked on a picture on google to show the tire wear patterns based on pressure and it brought up that page. http://priuschat.com/threads/best-ti...r-prius.84879/
So pretty much street driving, no canyon runs, or track days? I would start out at 42 like me. I think the tire limit is 51psi so anything under that should be "safe" unless you have lots of potholes and crappy roads. Ride quality will get harsher as the pressure increases, especially at higher speeds or on rough roads, but I think between 40-45 is a good starting place.

I don't care how young someone is, if they are old enough to type, I can't comprehend them not getting that reference. It's like not knowing we went to the moon.
