Tires MICHELIN or Continental
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'd encourage you to consider Michelin Defender LTX M/S Quiet, handle great, good milage, excellent in rain, very good on snow, very good on dirt roads.
Michelin LTX MS! Great traction, super quiet on the highway, awesome in the snow.
I ran the AS's on my X3M and got about 20-22k miles average across two sets. Grip increased by a lot compared to the continentals that came originally.
For your climate I would definitely recommend the Defender 2s. The YK-GTX is quieter on paper, I don't think it's noticeably better. They're noticeably better in the winter than the Defender 2 but you're in SoCal.
I'm a huge fan of the YK-GTX, I've had a set, I've put a set on one of my parent's cars, the Defender 2 will have a significantly longer treadlife.
Continental all season contact 2. Bez ikakvih problema, normlana voženja.
Michelin CrossClimate 3, rilja sve ispod sebe, nigde maknuo nisam jedino kad uđeš u mix bljuzga/sneg/led deru se i osećaju se vibracije ali preciznost i kontrola su odlični.
You’d be fine with just winters. Source: daily a VW Mk7 GTI with winters in northern BC. But, AWD with snow tires and better ground clearance is much better.
lol, yes. my car is fwd, i bought some brand new michelin ice x's for this winter and even though i'm having a slightly better time i still dread red lights, stop signs, yields, you name it. i do all the tips and tricks you can name as well.
Wait until you go through a summer and the rubber heat-cycles, after that (even with 7~8mm tread left) the tire is absolute dog-shit in the snow. Worst $1,200 I’ve spent…
