Got a nail in my Yoko AVID S33s - Replacement suggestions?

Sorry to hear that Danny. Here goes my thoughts on the situation. It depends how many miles you have on those tires. I had one go at 7000. I was able to order a like tire. When I took a close look, I realized that I had to order another because the three others were worn so much. I did put both new tires on the same axle and when the where rotated and balanced, They were rotated front to back. . . they were not crossed in the rotation.
Another concern is that the tread pattern is close to what you plan to keep. If buying only two... that would be another reason to keep them on the same axle.

 

Danny, I was very happy with Goodyear Fuel Max tires that I put on my 08 Prius. As it happens my Yoko tires on my 2010 are a little than half way worn so I bought a pair of Goodyear Fuel Max tires from another poster on here that took them off his new Prius, I plan on putting them on my 2010 so I have new tires for the snow season. I hope I'll be as happy with them on my 2010 as I was with them on my 08. If you go to www.discounttiredirect.com you'll see they are a few dollars cheaper than www.tirerack.com

 

If you have under 20k miles on the tires, just replace the 1 tire assuming you can find the exact same tire.

Second best option is to buy only 2 new tires that are similar in spec to your other 2 Yokohamas. Ideally 2 more yokohamas.

 

24k, hmmm. Lets assume your tires have a lifetime avg of 60k miles....that puts you at an odd interval. You really cant make a wrong choice, it's just do you want to pay more now, or later.

 

Bridgestone Ecopia EP20 are pretty good, decent feel, good for RR. They are readily available, including Costco. They're the stock 15" 2010 Prius tire in our area. The tread looks identical to Insignia SE200, fwiw. They're all season, whereas the Bridgestone Ecopia EP100s might be classified as summer tire, I think.

 

I have the original equipment Yokohama AVID S33s on my G3 and will be satisfied if I get 40K out of them. With 24K on the remaining 3 tires, I would bite the bullet and purchase 4 new tires, as you may not be happy with the performance and handling with tires of uneven wear; and, the additional cost of 4 new tires is not significant in the long run.

Suggest you look at Tirerack.com for recommendations. Everyone has their opinion about tires and individual driving requirements differ, but I am considering the Michelin Harmony and Hankook Optimo H727 when I need replacements.

Good Luck!
