    Does anyone have the Michelin X Radial DT tires on there 2008 Prius and how do they affect mileage or not? Any recommendation for tires? Thanks in advance for your help.

    I am wondering about tires for 2005 Prius. Need good snow traction, but prefer all-season. Any suggestions? Does Toyota suggest any that hold up to the weight of the car?

    I like the Nokian WRg2

    • Low Rolling Resistance (good MPG)
    • Good Dry/Wet/Snow/ICE Traction (Almost matches many snow tires)
    • Good Highway Stability (unlike the GY Integrity)
    • About 50k mile tread life for a bit more than $100 per tire

    Had them on my '07. no problems whatsoever. Better handling and traction. By the way, do you realize you're in the gen 3 forum, which applies only to the 2010 model?
