2019 Toyota Prius AWD-e Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Prius AWD-e tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most.

It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set 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 big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway.
