    I was wondering if any of you could lend some insight into what kind of life you got out of your Bridgestone Ecopia EP20 Tires (OEM). I currently have a set on my 2011 Prius @ 35K miles, and using the coin tread depth test, I have about 4/32" of tread depth remaining. We have put the 35K miles on the car in less than 12 months, and about 75% of the driving conditions are 110 mile round trip highway drives at speeds not exceeding 65 MPH.

    My last set of Bridgestones (EP422) only lasted about 40K miles before it was recommended that I replace them (2008 Prius), but these definitely seem to be holding up much better than those did. I appreciate your input!
