Michelin or Bridgestone?
 
I have 65K on my OEM Michelin tires on a 2009 FEH, and I'm casually looking into some--probably will replace them in November (OH resident). Anyway, TireRack has the Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia rated higher than the Michelin Latitude Tour for quietness, ride comfort and light snow traction--areas of concern for me.

Any experience here?

The other tire threads here devolved into tire pressure, tire weight arguments that I did not want to search 10 pages--so KEEP ON TOPIC PLEASE! Which means, don't question why I am replacing them with "only" 65K miles:D. I am averaging 34 MPG over 4 yrs. of driving.

Thanks.

Hello:
Am a new member of the site and I also am in the process of looking for replacement times (for my prius. I found some customer posts on the Discount tires website. One caught my eye as the customer indicated he had replaced his tires with Michelins and saw his gas mileage drop about 5mpg. you may wish to visit that site

The Prius and Escape have two different tire sizes. the Michelin Latitute Tour was made for the Escape and not the Prius. You did not name the type of Michelin tire so the post is useless.
