    Original tires on my '04 Prius shot at 20k. Is the load and speed rating of the Hydroedge appropriate for the '04 Prius...will the rolling resistance be different? Is this the right replacement tire? HELP.

    John thinks he took a very slight mileage hit with the HydroEdge tires, but feels it's well worth it for the much improved handling.

    I'm using them also, and I'm happy with them, but honestly, I would have no idea how to compare them objectively. I'm just going by their superior rating in every category. If I lose 1 or 2 mpg to have a safer tire, that's an excellent trade-off.
