I would buy the stock tires over and over again!

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.


Ya there are potholes and a lot , I mean A LOT of bumpy crappy shitty roads. Atleast in NorCal in the Bay Area. Especially the freeway. How much MPG are you getting? I get an average of 290-300miles on a tank at around 30-35 psi
