    I have some Michelin X-Ice xi2's for sale, perfect for those San Diego winters ...:D

    Went through the same issue six months back on my 2008. Went with Michelin Energy and am extremely happy-much quieter than both the OEM tires and Hankooks that preceded them and getting 52 mpg, mostly highway driving (and a lot of it). Better ride than the Hankooks also.

    Note-I haven't faced a winter yet on these new tires but my experience has been the Prius does surprisingly good in the snow with just about any tire.
