What are the best tires for winter driving in a Toyota Prius?

I live in a snowy area and need new tires for my Toyota Prius. Which tires would be the best for winter driving?

I would recommend getting snow tires specifically designed for hybrid or electric vehicles. They will provide better traction and braking in snowy conditions compared to all-season tires. Some good options are the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 or the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90.

Make sure to check the tire size and load rating to ensure it is compatible with your Prius. Also, consider getting a set of tire chains for added traction in severe winter conditions.

If you don't want to spend the extra money on snow tires, you can also look into all-weather tires like the Continental TrueContact Tour. They provide good performance in both winter and summer conditions.
