    I need to replace the original tires( Goodyear Integrity , 185/65/r15) on my 2007 Prius. I drive about 25000 mile per year and live in new England where it seems we have snow all the time. I would appreciate any ideas as to make and size. Thanks.

    :welcome: Welcome to PC Jfitz.

    Actually you have posted your question in the 2010 (Gen III) area or the site and your car is a Gen II. The Gen III cars use different size tires. If you post in one of the Gen II forums you will get more responses. But first try the search function and do a search for "tires" or something like that and you will probably get a lot of stuff to read.

    I owned a 2005 which had the same (185/65-15) tires you car does and I replaced them with 205/60-15 tires, they fit the rims correctly and there are no clearance problems. But in an area where there is a lot of snow you may be better off with the narrower 185/65-15 size.

    Here is a good link for tires Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels they will ship to an installer near you and you have a wide selection. Also if you are a Costco member they have real good prices on Michelins. I have used both Tire Rack and Costco for tires and had good luck with both.
