2015 Toyota Prius C Tire Information
Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Prius C tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!
Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Prius C tires online.

What is the white, crusty stuff around my Prius C’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Prius C’s battery terminals is known as corrosion.
