I currently have two different sets of tires on my 2008 Prius.
Front:
Goodyear Integrity
P185/65R-15
Around 28,000 miles on them but the tread is 4/32's and is recommended for replacement.
I have an 05 f-150 and I don't have the factory jack. So what can I use to slide into the crank so I can lower the spare tire?

View 6 RepliesExperienced lower mileage after changing the plugs at about 120k miles?
In the 10 months (23.6k miles) since I had the dealer change the plugs, I have averaged 43.3 mpg overall.
I have searched for but have not found how to remove the lower center dash panel on a 2005 Prius.
View 1 RepliesOK, I never heard of any "key" to lower the spare tire. However, the nice people at Discount tire weren't able to swap my tire because I'm missing some "key". How do I get a key for this and ELIMINATE the need for the key? 2000 F250 Crew Cab 4x4.

View 9 Replies I decided to get an alignment (for the first time since I took delivery of the car). I noticed some unusual wear on the inner and outer tire. I will post a before and after pic of the alignment. As you can see they were unable to correct everything.
The shop says that the prius does not have any way to correct camber in the front nor was there any way to correct the toe in the rear.
I cannot think of anything that would have messed up the rear left. The shop was saying these repairs will need either a new control arm or strut.
This sensor came on, I filled the tires up to 35 and it went away. A few weeks later, I decided to air the fronts to 40 and the backs to 38 PSI. The light came back on.
View 5 RepliesI have a 2005 Prius with 128,000 miles. At the last service the mechanic pointed out that the front tires were wearing significantly on the outside. I had them do an alignment but the before numbers were hardly out of spec. Everything was in spec except the front right camber - it was right at the limit (negative). Everything else was perfect. I would have expected only significant positive camber on both sides would cause both front tires to wear on the outside, when everything else was in spec?

Cause: Coasting in Drive (Applying the gas at all stops the vibration, putting the car in Neutral also stops the vibration)
I just bought a 2007 prius and after a few days the tire pressure light went on and off for a few days, I since measured pressure and filled to the exact amt. and now the light stays on all the time {approx 5 days now} manual says contact toyota dealer, I have no money for that and do not feel anything is wrong.
View 7 RepliesMy car's driver's side tire looks almost flat as one of my co-workers indicated first but the tire pressure light is NOT on. Should I worry about it and get it checked out?
View 19 RepliesDoes the prius v TMPS shows you the pressure in each tire or just give you a warning when one of the tire is low. How many MPG do we gain if we over inflate the tire to the max possible.

View 19 RepliesIs it true that a going from the OEM tire on the genII prius to larger 195/60/15 can cause or increase instability issues. I would think the point is to have wider tires to improve the stability...
View 10 RepliesI had a leaking tire replaced and my TPMS light was on. I proceeded to go ahead and reset the TPMS system after checking the pressures. The light blinked slowly 3 times, but then blinked fast for quite some time before turning solid again.
After pressing reset button with 3 slow blinks, what does it mean for the TPMS light to blink rapidly for a minute or so before turning solid.
I highly suspect that the guy changing my tire either damaged or did not reinstall my TPMS sensor. Im kicking myself for letting them touch my car since they are so shady.
I just bought new tires on my 2008 Prius. The tires are the Bridgestone Ecopia's ...
My problem is that the tire pressure light keeps coming on. I have checked the pressure individually and everything seems fine there. I have also taken it back to where I purchased the tires. They have tried to reset the TPMS sensors on each only to have the light turn back on after about 20 miles. My concern is that the sensors went bad or were damaged during installation. I asked about this and was told that the batteries on the sensors are fine. Their reasoning for making this determination was that in the reset process all sensors responded very quickly. If the batteries were going bad on the sensors, then it would have taken a long time for the sensors to read their computer. The tire guy also said that if the sensors were damaged, they would not respond at all. Since all responded, they should be okay.
Hear a plop plop noise when car travels forward over 7 MPH. The sound increases as speed increase. The tire isn't flat and I haven't found any debris in the tread or in the wheel. I need to know if it is safe to drive this car to the dealer (about 7 miles) to have them check the car.
