Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.
My mini cooper (FWD like your Prius) is a beast in the snow with winter tires. WINTER tires, not just all seasons.
Stick with your Vredesteins. I live in the Great White North and swear by the quatrac's. You're not going to find a better value tire.
if you just need tires for street use and not break the bank, vredestein quatrac are the best all season tires i've ever ran (94'). and they worked great when i lived in Oregon and handled snow pretty well for what it was.
Very quiet, good wearing (I never expect much more than 40K of all weather usefulness no matter what the warranty says), and very good snow traction.
Switched to Vredestein on my City ZX21 earlier this year. Wondering why I did not do it earlier!
Just got new tires, upgraded from stock Apollo Alnac 4G to Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, the difference is night and day
We went to an 18” square setup with Vredestein Wintrac Pros and it’s about as good in snow as her previous ‘16 IS300 F Sport AWD
I've got these on my Tesla (Vredstein Wintrac Pro XL 235/40R-19) and I've been pretty underwhelmed by their performance in snow. Many of the reviews I read said they're more like halfway between an all-season tire and a true winter tire, and that feels about right to me, as they drive just fine in mild conditions but slide around a lot in the snow.
I’m barely getting 10k out of my Vredestein tires that TireRack said would be as good as the name brand. They aren’t.
