in 50 or 70 thousand more miles as the car will be approaching a total of 160,000 to 185,000 miles and I'm guessing tires will be the least of my concerns
So it will just be getting broken in? I have 205,000 on my highest mile toyota alltrac wagon that goes on the road every day. My only problem is rust. Keep the oil changed often, thats the only secret.

If you do a spreadsheet with the payback time of a gas-saving prius, you might be surprised how long it takes to justify the intial cost in terms of gas saved.

I wish I had paid more attention to max tire pressure for a previous set of tires for another of my wagons: pirelli with a max of only 36 psi.
That was before I found this site, so I have *some* excuse.
