    My Prius III (Portland, OR) appears to have 15" Yokohama Avid S33 tires.

    mmm.. but they're chosen to fulfill the requirements of the car (be it mpg, comfort or ride/handling).

    The Prius ones are chosen for mpg and in some ways, cost too. They don't last very long.

    Hi Ken,

    Is it normal for JDM cars to be shipped with summer tires only? Does much of the driving population have to deal with snow during the winter?

    Hi Patrick,
    Yes, we usually receive summer tires on sedans and all-season tires on SUVs.
    I think a half of Japanese people are replacing them with snow tires during the winter.

    I, myself, am driving with summer tires all year around in Yokohama city.

    Interesting. And they do it on their own accord or is there a law for winter tyres over there?

    Basically, it is individual's responsibility to wear snow tires, but there are some regulations of "snow tires only" by the road administrators in the heavy snow area in Japan.
