I blew another tire of my2024 Prius LE that runs on Toyo tire 195/60R17. since got the car in January I've replaced 4 months later, got sun blinded and steered too close to the sidewalk, both right side tires blew. couldn't use the useless pump and kit that comes with the car
worst : no jack, nor tool to remove the tires to take an uber to the nearest tire shop. roadside assistance could only help if i had a spare tire ( Prius don't come with it!).
months later hit a bump lost another tire, yesterday luckily ii had bought a matching rim + tire i keep in my trunk(though oo heavy and big to carry and called AAA to put it on . so i just bough the new tire online $(158) and will have it mounted at a nearby tire shop. in summary i think the quality of those toyo tires is really questionable they make them too thin to save in weight and get more mpg.
i am thinking about parting out four prius 2004-2009. they have been sitting for 3 plus years is it worth it?
Could you give me a call when you have time please? I've got a question about unlocking the shift control actuator harness to replace a broken wire. Looks like you've had that problem too. Thanks, Charley (870) 723-0581
Came across your post on the Prius Coolant issue. You were working on it yourself, did you come to a final conclusion? My daughters 2008 just came up with the temp warning light and I am just starting to research it. Thanks!
