About 2024 Toyota Prius AWD-e Tires

Other than getting the proper 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 set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider.

Questions About 2024 Toyota Prius AWD-e Steering & Suspension

  • Why does my Prius AWD-e's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Prius AWD-e's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.

  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Prius AWD-e’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Prius AWD-e’s A/C to work?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Prius AWD-e’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
