vs
Tires FEDERAL or OEM Toyota
Reviews
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.
Pros: capable in ice and snow
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.
Pros: performed adequately
Vehicle:
Toyota
Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.
Pros: much better ride
Cons: stay away all-seasons
Vehicle:
Toyota
So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.
Pros: Prius feels like hummer
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Yea. Also. 17+. Has hill assist for getting rolling uphill which is a nice option.\n\nOtherwise. It’s good as long as you keep up on the maintenance.. I bought a 15’ with 120k miles and did all the major recent work when I got it and it’s a great car\n\nHandles well in the rain even on those stock tires n wheels. Good. OG 86 car…
Pros: handles well in rain, good maintenance

Federal tires to add sa mga choices
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
Pros: great budget tires
Cons: really noisy
I had both tires for 6 month each. There isnt really any apparent difference in fuel economy.
Pros: no apparent difference
Vehicle:
Toyota
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
Cons: stretching the fit
The stock ones on my 23 AWD are not good either. I've kept tire pressure good, not driven it in any funky ways and the tires are at 4/32" at 18k miles.
Cons: wears quickly
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 28968 km
