    You don't need to put TPMS on your winter wheels. Yup, the light will be on. Think of it as a reminder to change wheels when it's time. ;) I put Nokian "All weather" tyres on Pearl S two months ago - on the stock wheels. Cost was $800. Nokian WRG3. The cost for Hakas was the same. Like I did with Pearl, I'll run the WRG3s all year round. They work just fine.

    Again, except for ground clearance. But that's the car not the tyres. Don't like the sound of the "oatmeal snow" rubbing on the plastic undertray on the side streets in my neighborhood. So I use the FJ Cruiser when it gets like that. Oh, and I checked while in Kal Tire, the Hakas for the FJ Cruiser will cost me $2500 or so (need to put on five and they're really big). So the Prius is quite inexpensive to put winter tyres on. Even the more expensive brands.
