What tires did your Mirage / Space Star come with?

We know Mitsubishi is fitting LRR (low rolling resistance) tires to the Mirage to increase fuel economy. However, I haven't read exactly what tire they plan on using. So, what did your Mirage come fitted with?

The Mirage that was at the dealers today has Yokohama Blue earth on the tyre.

Interesting. I haven't heard of that tire before so I looked it up.

Apparently it is the OEM tire on the 2012 Prius V here in the states. I suppose thats a good sign.

For the Philippine-spec Mirage:

GLX trim: 165/65 R14 Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 on 14"x4.5" steel rims.
GLS trim: 175/55 R15 Bridgestone Potenza RE050 on 15"x5" alloys.

I have a GLS.

The Oz spec LS top of the range has the same Bridgestone Potenza re 050A 15in

I had a set of Bridgestone Ecopia EP100s on my last Prius. I really liked them. Great all around tire. It is a pretty good LRR tire, but still had good dry, wet, and snow traction. Tirerack did testing on them a while back and they did really well. They were also pretty affordable, no more expensive than a regular tire.

Here in Thailand we have 165/65/14 Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 on 14"x4.5" alloys. on the GLS ltd (the Top Model in Thailand)

The photos that Mitsu provided at the U.S. launch show Dunlop Enasaves on the car.

Tirerack says thats the OE tire for the I-Miev. Not surprising they used it on the Mirage.

Interesting!

Also interesting: neither of the 2 sizes currently listed on tire rack are the Mirage 14 in. size.
