EDIT: Those actually have a really horrible treadwear rating. You can probably make some headway looking at Priuschat for first-gen tire recommendation threads.
Oh I thought the G1 insight rims were lighter... Also price really isn't a problem. I don't want to spend 150$ per tire but, I won't mind spending 50-120ish.
