I ordered my spare from ECS Tuning for $228 (looks like it is now $259) last year and it arrived quickly and fit perfectly with no modifications needed. It is a brand new wheel with a brand new Continental tire, which I preferred over tracking down a used spare from a junkyard. The foam surround kit is completely unnecessary and just wastes space that can be used to store other supplies around the spare.
I still miss my 360,000 mile Gen 3 Prius. I took really good care of it. Imported Japanese brand new hybrid battery , new catalytic converter, brand new Yokohama tires all around with brake pads and discs just to get rammed by a drunk driver.

UHP All Seasons are what your looking for. Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 or Continental DWS06+.
Yokohama, because the CEAT tires that came with my Hunter slip on the grooves of the streets, but I tried a Triumph 400 with Yokohamas and the grip is exceptional.
I've had Continental DWS06+ tires on my Passat for about 10,00 miles. Good all season tires, even light snow. Good tread wear, so far. Quiet. I'm happy.
After an absolute ton of research and talking to a lot of people, I decided on the Continental TerrainContact A/Ts. Compared to the stock destinations these tires have at least double the performance and grip in both snow and wet. They're a tiny bit louder on grooved surfaces, but it almost isn't noticeable. They feel a like the side walls are a little bit stiffer, which isn't a bad thing, but don't ride any harsher. Honestly, I'm very surprised at how much I like these tires.
My 2008 is350 on continental Dw06 extreme sport runs like a dream
Got a this set of GP5000 28mm last year and have not many miles on them, maybe 300-400 mi. total. Shame to see this sidewall fail so quick, is it a fluke? What could have caused it?
My experience with Continental Tire...I loved them. My wife loved them. Right up to the point that the second set tried to do us in. Driving home to the SF Bay Area from So. Cal on a hot summer day. Right rear tire fails suddenly and catastrophically with 2/3rds of the tread separating from the carcass.
