2001 "Classic" Prius
I'm getting new tires today (or tomorrow)
and I'm trying to decide which wheels to mount my new "all season" tires to
and which set to put my "Snow" tires on
the VW wheels look like they should be more "Aerodynamic"
but they are a hair heavier, and half an inch wider
I will be putting more miles on the "all season" tires (7-8 months) than the Winter tires (4-5 months)
but not by much
NOTE: ALL WHEELS AND TIRES ARE ALREADY PAID FOR
