Default Think I'm going to get the snowtires after all

I can't find anyone who carries the Nokian WRs for my 08 prius, I've been told it's the strange wheel size of 195/55 R16. That and the recent snow stom has me considering getting some snow tires rather than all weather.

I'm trying to decide between -
Dunlop Winter Sport M3
Nokian RSI

I've read good things about the Dunlops and Ok reviews of the RSIs too. Any suggestions from other Prius owners?

Update - I ended up getting the RSIs

You might try the Bridgestone Bilzzaks. They are like Velcro on ice. I haven't put them on my Prius yet but had them on my Lexus and Beemer, they were wonderful.

Just remember you need to do all four wheels

Does the Nokian WR's have any road noise. I have a Outback that I drive from Rindge to Woburn MA daily when its snowing out. The all season tires work excellent in the snow but during the summer I can hear the tire noise. I dont want to make the same mistake with the Prius.
