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.

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.

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