Optima yellow top. It's around $300 ish. The last one was replaced after a decade. The new one I have will probably be the last one.
Toyota Prius parts reviews
Go Denso brand as it's OEM fit.
So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.
Mine has been on for a year & work great.
I run the same General tires. Before that, it was the RT43. Yes, the are not performance tires. What I have experienced is they get better mileage, and last a long time.
I have a 2007 Prius. Bought it with 120,000 miles. Got 365,000 on it. Never put brakes on.
I have a 10+ year old Prius C that had a 100k-mile warranty on the battery. It failed at 108k and cost $4k to replace. It's at 230k miles now, and I expect to have to replace it again (but who knows?)
I bought a set of Yokohamas once for our 07 Prius and noticed a very similar result as well. Tires were dead quiet though, but not worth the cost for us so we switched.
We have 3 Prius vehicles. The 2019 has Bridgestone Ecopia tires that are very noisy. the 2020 has Goodyears that are very quiet and solid in rain. I cannot wait to wear out the Bridgestones and I believe them to be crap. No tire should create that much road noise on a sedan.
I use Yokohama Avid Ascend LXs for my Gen 2 Prius as well. I go through a set every 10,000 miles or so.
