Maybe I am one of the few that like the Primacy's. Ultra sticky tires have their own issues in normal driving, as well as excessive wear. I think the Primacy's have excellent overall balance. I can't speak for the track though.

Out of curiosity, what kind of BFGoodrich tires are you guys getting? Mine came with all-seasons, but they were Bridgestone Turanzas EL400-2's.

My Turanza tires came as a factory option when I built my car to order it. Though I used a Toyota employee benefit to get it.

Yeah, I'm curious as to what BFG's you got. So far we've only heard Michelin summers and Bridgestone all seasons reported. I wonder if they'll go back to the Michelins come summer time...

BFG's or Bridgestones?

Never heard of BFG's on an FRS

Glad your feeling proud of yourself.

Rinse throughly.

The Michelin's come stock on a Prius. This site goes up and down, first the Prius tires are junk and are the death of the car and now he returns his All-Season's for them? I must be missing something.
