    well as far as tire noise, i have 2010 prius and i hear a lot of road noise compare to my civic so its hard to tell about that. I averaged 51- 54MPG in summer and in winter i am averaging 45-47 with 1-2 minute of warmup.

    I recall the name Vredestein from decades ago, I think -- but perhaps not in the USA.

    The highly rated Vredestein Quatrac 5 is definitely available in American through Tire Rack and its affiliated installation shops nationwide in your size. (No, I don't work for either Vredestein or Tire Rack, but my brother loves the hell out of the Quatrac 5's on his performance sedan.)

    I simply meant that it might have been in another country that I had seen the name. I wasn't doubting their availability in the USA.
