    Hi everyone, in theory this should be a searchable topic but after several hours of searching PriusChat and googling I am non the wiser.

    Looking for replacement tyres for my gen 3 with 17 inch wheels (215/45 R17) and want good fuel economy without sacrificing everything else a lot. Have Goodyear Eagle asymmetric 3 on now as I got a good deal, very comfy but not great economy and got hard as they aged.

    Any UK folk have any good options? Tyre models seem to change every year, 17s mean less choice and none of the US or Canada advice is helpful as the tyre models are so regional!

    Any help much appreciated!
