    The Continental DWS is considered a very good tire in light snow conditions.

    I assume you mean All Season tires.
    If you go to TireRack.com and look up tires for your Prius you will see they have a lot of handling test results.
    Tires like Michelin Energy Saver A/S, Defender, Continental Procontact with ecoplus are pretty good.

    That's like asking what's the best shoe for running but I don't want a running shoe.

    Nokian WRg2. LRR tire and great in snow and rain. A little pricey and a little noisy, but that's all I buy.

    I have Nokian WR2g on my Prius as well as my HCH2. Great tire, but cost more than most. Use all year around. :)H

    Another vote for Nokian WRG2, or the older WR. Expect a mileage hit though.
