Choosing 2016 Toyota Prius C Tires
Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Prius C tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. 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!
Next, consider your driving style. 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. Browse Toyota Prius C tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2016 Toyota Prius C Alignment Services
An alignment involves making adjustments to your Toyota Prius C's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Toyota intended them to. When you bring in your 2016 Toyota Prius C, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Toyota recommendations.
