    Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02. V with AT package here.

    Both Bridgestone and Michelin seem to get bad reviews. What are the better alternatives for 17" wheels?

    Got my car today (Thursday):

    green curry expert (ON) - Premium+solar - Bridgestone Ecopia EP20

    I was hoping for the Yokohamas, since "eco" tires are likely to have bad grip, especially in winter :(

    I bought a 2010 Prius package 2 with 17 inch upgraded rims from package 5 that cost me almost $4k. Now they are asking me what tires I want? So I told them Yokohama, is this a good choice? Any advice would be nice too. Please let me know thanks!

    Snowtires have been recommended here in Central New York so I will probably spring for them...

    Hmm, I thought I had already chimed in on this thread but I don't see me in the tally so I guess not; chalk me up for:

    You want the "base" without the "CA" in your profile. The CA is for Canada in this case.

    Likewise which makes me very happy. Purchaesd through ID dealer (delivered through PDX port). Some folks say not great on snow so glad I have my 08 CRV AWD for winter driving. It has Bridgestone Dueller HT 470 tires and they are the best I have ever had. I take it in the woods, snow...and have only had to check the air twice in 1.5 years/22,000 miles - when I had the oil changes. I have to admit the CRV has been the most effortless car to maintain I have ever had. Two oil changes at 8,000 and 15,000 miles when I had the mini service. Almost time for third. I tried to get it done sooner but the dealer said follow the computer and wait until 15% or less. Since its leased, I said your car so cool. I had Michelin tires on my last Toyota, a 2003 Avalon and they were cursed. Several leaks plugged and tire store new me since I came by every couple of months for air. Hope the Ecopia live up to their big sister!

    So you found a dealer that would sell you the rims separately? They really charged $4000?
