Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus All Season 215/60R16 95V Passenger Tire

I replaced these tires at 64,000 miles and chose Ecopia because that's the model the Prius came with and they were chosen specifically for the high mileage potential. These Ecopia are a "low resistance" tire made for hybrids and they really do make a difference. I have averaged 60 mpg since i bought my car new in 2019. I had more city than highway driving (20/80) until this past year, and now have 70% highway, 30% city, but I still maintained the average 60 mpg. These tires probably would have lasted the entire 70k or more except I didn't get them rotated on time once and "cupping" started. Once the tires are damaged in that way, they are louder and they end up causing suspension issues, so I just bit the bullet and got new ones early. They still had lots of tread on them, too. I will stick with Ecopia tires for the foreseeable future.

The original tires on my Alltrack were becoming noisy at 16,000 miles, so I started looking for replacements. I wanted to purchase Goodyear Assurance Weatheready tires, but they weren't available in the correct size. These Bridgestones were my second choice, based on the mileage specification and reviews I read. I have only driven about 1,000 highway miles on these tires and they seem to be okay. They are quiet and give a good ride. Hopefully they will provide good service for many miles. this is the first time I have purchased Bridgestone tires.
