Prius where road noise is the main concern, the Continental TrueContact Tour is usually the quieter of the two it rides softer and stays quiet even as it wears.
Best Tires for Toyota Prius
For your Prius and the ’04 Accord you don’t need anything crazy, something like Michelin Defender 2 or Goodyear Assurance will last forever and ride nice.
My wife's Prius is awesome in the snow. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 tires. Glad to hear you are going that route, just be aware there are different models of blizzak tires.
I have been through a set and yes they are worth the money. They are great all weather tires but I will say this when it comes to deeper snow and ice you won't beat a dedicated snow tire like Blizzaks. I ran my Cross CLimates 2s on my pruis year round and did great with them.
My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.
So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.
I liked Ecopias, I had them twice on my 2013 and thought I got the best fuel economy out of those, however they only lasted like 60k of highway driving, and aren’t the quietest.
I bought a set of Yokohamas once for our 07 Prius and noticed a very similar result as well. Tires were dead quiet though, but not worth the cost for us so we switched.
Got mine a few weeks ago. Can't say I'm crazy about them. I drive a Prius Prime. On stock tires I got about 95+mpg(summer) on my 120mi daily commute. When I got G4, I was getting ~85mpg(summer). When I got G5, it dropped to about 75mpg(now). With just the gas engine, I got about 55mpg on stock tires, ~49 on G4, and something like ~45mpg or a bit higher on G5. I know new tires are generally more draggy. But this kind of number is still concerning, even though G5 has certified low rolling resistance and G4 didn't
We have 3 Prius vehicles. The 2019 has Bridgestone Ecopia tires that are very noisy. the 2020 has Goodyears that are very quiet and solid in rain. I cannot wait to wear out the Bridgestones and I believe them to be crap. No tire should create that much road noise on a sedan.
