I ended up getting a set of 19" CX70 wheels from a lower trim level for my Turbo S, and bought a set of Vredestein Pinza H/T tires for those rims. Plus, these 19" tires ride so much better than the 21's!!
Do some research if you haven't heard of Vredestein tires. These things are incredible in the snow and routinely get excellent reviews.
I did the same after a set of Vredsteins (which were still good tires). Much quieter.
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.
second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.
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.
I have just purchased Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ winter tires for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. In this video I want to show you how much tire profile tread depth you get when you buy these Wintrac Pro Plus new tires from Vredestein. Also after the first miles/kilometers driving I will share with you my overall impressions of the noise that these Vredestein winter tires produce.
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
