I’ve run Vredestein Quatrac Pros and Pro+ on two different cars and loved them. They are fine in snow, obviously not a snow tire but better than stock all seasons. Where they really shine is in the rain. One of the best rain tires out.
I ended up getting a set of 19" CX70 wheels from a lower trim level for my Turbo S, and bought a set of Vredestein Pinza H/T tires for those rims. Plus, these 19" tires ride so much better than the 21's!!
Do some research if you haven't heard of Vredestein tires. These things are incredible in the snow and routinely get excellent reviews.
I did the same after a set of Vredsteins (which were still good tires). Much quieter.
I've been impressed with Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail. I had the stock Goodyear Wrangler's and they were scary in the winter. Just got the Coopers on a few weeks ago and they have been great.
My mini cooper (FWD like your Prius) is a beast in the snow with winter tires. WINTER tires, not just all seasons.
Stick with your Vredesteins. I live in the Great White North and swear by the quatrac's. You're not going to find a better value tire.
I've got these on my Tesla (Vredstein Wintrac Pro XL 235/40R-19) and I've been pretty underwhelmed by their performance in snow. Many of the reviews I read said they're more like halfway between an all-season tire and a true winter tire, and that feels about right to me, as they drive just fine in mild conditions but slide around a lot in the snow.
Not cooper tires. I have them and my truck has a hard pull due to the design.
It happened to my dad when he bought cooper tires. I'd like to avoid other brands that have dented sidewalls.
