Choosing 2019 Toyota Prius Prime Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Prius Prime tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Prius Prime.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Prius Prime Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my Prius Prime turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Prius Prime firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Toyota Prius Prime making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota Prius Prime. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

Tire Repair for Your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime

Frequently Asked Toyota Prius Prime Tire Repair Questions

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your Prius Prime until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.

Top Toyota Prius PrimeCar Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Prius Prime battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Prius Prime’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Prius Prime car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

2019 Toyota Prius Prime Oil Changes

Toyota recommends changing your 2019 Prius Prime’s oil at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Prius Prime may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Prius Prime. Consult Toyota's recommendations to select the right  2019 Prius Prime oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Prius Prime's engine.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Prius Prime to illuminate?  The oil change light in your Toyota Prius Prime could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Prius Prime oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Prius Prime Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Toyota Prius Prime to drive with old spark plugs? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay.

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota Prius Prime mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Prius Prime. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Prius Prime fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

2019 Toyota Prius Prime Suspension Service & Repair

During the first few years you had your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Prius Prime bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Prius Prime Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Prius Prime bouncing so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Prius Prime might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Prius Prime front end dip forward when I brake?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime A/C problems.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Prius Prime A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Prius Prime A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Prius Prime’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why won’t my Prius Prime’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Prius Prime is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
