Hey I have a Prius 2010 I am looking into replacing my regular all season Yokohama's with a better set of 4 all season tires. I am mainly looking into this because I don't have a place to store tires so i just want better tires for the NY winter which I don't have to change every season. Now I have contacted a bunch of dealerships to send me quotes on selling me tires + installation but most don't offer to buy your old tires... So what do I do with those Yokohama's? The car is only 4500 miles... Thank you PS Anybody has a suggestion for a good set of All season tires?
Buy winter tires, being in NYC go for max ice grip type tires. Buy cheap 15" steel wheels to mount them on. Keep the Yoko's as summer tires mounted on your Prius rims. I did this last year, 50$/wheel and 80$/tire. Bonus, your Prius rims don't go through the winter grind and will be nicer, less scratches.
Well, thanks but I don't have a place to store 4 or 2 tires. Looking for a better all season still. Any other advise on getting rid of the Yoko's?
Many tire shops that sell tires, also do warehousing, for cheap. Here in Montreal, most garages I work with, offer to put the summer tires in storage for you, for 20$ extra. So you don't need to store them yourself and lug them around for the seasonal change.
