Tires OEM Toyota or Sava
In my opinion the named brandes like continental, Michelin, good year are good but over priced. I Mostly run SAVA, dont know if you know the brand but they are Quite good for the price. I run them on Volkswagen golf 4 (195/16/55) and on Volkswagen passat (225/17/xx)
Naslednjo sezono kupim Savo. Mogoče nekaj slabše na mokrem ampak celotno življenjsko dobo enako. No Edin na koncu kar je logično. Naredil 20.000 cena 80€. Ampak ne trdim, da so SAVA boljše od Michelina samo, da so za moje potrebe top.
Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.
I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.
We've just been through the worst winter in many years and our matrix has done very well with the factory tires. If you're not going off road fwd is fine. The deepest unplowed snow I drove through was about 8 inches and I felt like that was pushing it.
I was in a tire shop at lunch and was introduced to Sava, a company recently bought by Goodyear. The guy told me that the quality is excellent. They seemed to be pretty well built from touch/feel of them.
