Greetings, Just bought a used 2013 Prius Persona Series in Black Cherry since my daughter totaled our 2012 plug-in Prius. a couple of minor complaints: Not too thrilled about the 17" rims, prefer the 15" since we live on a circle and I'd rather hit the curb with rubber than metal when parking. Also the ride seems rougher than my 2012, maybe the suspension is shot or I have the wrong tire pressure for the low-profile tires. It does have the rear bumper sag issue (gap at the side seam) that my 2012 did not have. Anyways, overall happy so far, maybe just feeling nostalgic for my 2012. Oh, and I have a question, what is this button/indicator next to the mirror tilt control? My 2012 Plug-in did not have this.
congrats! the low profile tires are the cause of the rough ride, and i think you get a stiffer suspension with them, but i could be wrong. maybe you can sell them and put 15's on. no idea about that switch, it's interesting. looks like a phone function, maybe the o/m. all the best!
Looks like pre-historic phone/cellular icon of over a decade ago. Almost defiinitely no longer compatible with today's phones and worth eliminating. Turn into a different switch.
What pressures are you running? The driver's door decal spec's 33/32 psi (front/rear) for the 17's. Our 2010 Touring also has the 17's; I find them "not too rough" if I stick to 33 all 'round. What tires are on there; what's their condition and age? Join the club...
Hi Mendel, The tires are Primewell Valera Sport AS. I have never heard of that brand, probably budget brand but they seem to be in good codition. I was running 36psi on the tires. I will try 33 to see if it helps. Thanks
