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

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
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 120000 km
It's a good little car. Fast enough to be fun but no so much to be too stupid. Well balanced. \n\nSpend a bit less money on the car, and buy a second set of wheels. \n\nYour best looking wheels out some good 200 tread wear summer tires on. Vitour P1 or Rival RS if you want them to last a while. \n\nLeast favorite wheels out Continental DWS-06+ all seasons (or proper four season tires if you're in a snowbelt state).\n\nThis is a car that responds well to grip.
Pros: good balance, responds well to grip
Cons: Continental DWS-06+ all seasons

Toyota
I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.
Pros: reasonably solid
Cons: wear out faster than advertised
I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.
Pros: look good
Cons: cheap
Ive had a set of 245/65/17's on the rear of my Dakota for about 4 to 5 years now. They are decent for a budget tire but don't expect them to be on par with the likes of Goodyear, BF, etc.. In my experience, there down fall is mileage. Mine have worn even and ride nice, dry traction is very good & wet traction can be questionable.
Pros: dry traction is good
Cons: mileage is a downfall
Vehicle:
Dodge Dakota
Mileage: 20000 km
I’ve used Dextero. They cracked and wore down in less than 20k miles.
Cons: cracked, wore down
Mileage: 32187 km
