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 got a new set this year from Discount Tire. Cost me $831 total including tax for four Yokohama GTX all seasons. I’ve driven almost 4,000 miles on them so far and haven’t had an issue yet.
Got my current tires from Walmart (Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus) and had my local shop install them, I’m more than likely gonna go to Discount Tire for my soon to be needed next set.
I have the Quatracs for 3 years now and done 55k kms on them. Just now I can feel that they don't grip as well as they used to on cold, wet road. I had the same experience with every tyre after 3 years, so it was expected. I am very satisfied with them.
I use these on my prius. I don't use anything but continentals. I've been driving on these for 10 years on different Priuses that I've had. The tariffs are causing the prices to go up.
I am leaning toward my next set being Toyo GSI-6, for a few reasons. Namely, H speed rating (not that I go over the 104mph governed speed of a 2017 Prius Prime) and max pressure of 51psi rather than 44psi. I usually run at 50psi, and find tires only approved to 44psi to be only marginally acceptable to me.
The YK740 GTX and now the YK-GTX are the best tires I've ever owned. They're on a 2011 Prius which came with Pirelli tires and I thought those were great. The Yokohama's surpassed them. I'm closing in on 50,000 miles on the YK740's which were the first ones I bought for the vehicle.
Went from Ecopia Summer tires to all-weather and dropped 7mpg avg on a prius. Good tires, but interesting the mpg drop was so vast.
With its original Dunlop Enasaves our Gen. 4 Prius consistently indicated \~ 62-63mpg in mixed driving. At \~ 42,000mi. the Dunlops were replaced with Michelin Defenders, the mileage immediately dropped over 18% which persisted for nearly 1000mi.
I use Yokohama Avid Ascend LXs for my Gen 2 Prius as well. I go through a set every 10,000 miles or so.
