Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.
I still miss my 360,000 mile Gen 3 Prius. I took really good care of it. Imported Japanese brand new hybrid battery , new catalytic converter, brand new Yokohama tires all around with brake pads and discs just to get rammed by a drunk driver.
Anul asta mi am pus si eu pe Prius Crossclimate 2 de la Michelin. Am mers pe zapada mai mult decat mi-as fi dorit stiind ca am anvelope all season si spre surprinderea mea se comporta excelent. Nu am ramas pe nicaieri si nici nu se duce chiar sanie cand franezi. Cel putin nu mai rau decat se ducea si cu cauciucuri de iarna. Eu unul sunt foarte multumit si consider ca daca nu ai masina versata (gen vreun SUV cu 4x4) sau nu locuiesti in localitati unde ninge mult si trebuie sa urci dealuri cu masina, efectiv nu ai nevoie de cauciucuri sezoniere. Cum locuiesc in Bucuresti.. Hai sa fim onesti. Maxim o saptamana adunata ai de mers pe zapada. Sunt foarte multumit. Inclusiv pe ploaie se comporta excelent, nici macar tendinta de a acvaplana nu o are. Si prius nu e absolut deloc driver's car sa zici ca are cine stie ce stabilitate:))
I got my 24 Prius Prime XSE Premium w/solar in April 2024.
But I would absolutely get it again, I have not experienced any Tire issues with my 19-in rims even though I've hit some pretty significant potholes that I was sure was going to cause some Tire or even rim damage, those were mainly with the original Toyo tires, I did get a new set of Michelin tires at 32,000 due to inside wear
I drove it last weekend in a Prius with three-peak mountain snowflake all weather tires (Nokian WRG-5). Like other all-weather tires, they're good in anything down to about -15°C and start to get skittish below that as the rubber hardens.
I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to buy the Goodyear MaxLife 2. I\u2019ve had great luck with the top of the line Goodyear tires
I had cheap tires on my Prius one time and ended up going back to the Yokohamas. Got like 5mpg less with the crap tires.
There’s two Sailuns on the other Prius - they seem to be OK but feel a little squirmy to me.
Making a left turn into a business parking lot, I heard a pop and the left front dropped and the sound of rubber getting mushed. Not even a bubble before this happened.
My mom’s cross climate 2s have been the loudest and roughing riding tires she has ever experienced on her prius. And I agree with her.
