Aftermarket Spare Tire Kit for 2024 Prius Prime

Good info, thanks.

What is the best way to pull up the rear seats without bending or damaging them?

 

Grab it slightly after the curve begins on each end. It's just a plastic clip on each side that clips into the base. It requires some force but not too much.

 

It's also hooked at the back, so don't get too aggressive trying to pull it out after disengaging the two clips. I've always had the rear seat backs off before pulling up the bottom, so I don't know how accessible the hook location is with them still installed. The seat bottom has the loop and one of the brackets bolted to the floor has the hook.

 

just blew a 3rd toyo tire in 4 months of owning my 2024 prius le. with no spare donut or whatsoever and the useless repair kit ( might help with punctures), but big potholes and the occasional sidewalk curb hit blowing a tire left me having to pay for a tow truck the first time ,and a tire emergency road service the second is forcing me to look for a donut spare or a full size rim a tire to keep at home or carry in the trunk. the car does not even come with a jack and tool to remove the screws so you can take the blown tire to a show for replacement!. any suggestions where to purchase on line at a decent price? . most of the prices are crazy $300 for a fittable rim and similar for a tire!.
hope some fellow owners can advice

 

I never had a flat on a Prius, but I imagine if I had one, and didn't have roadside assistance, I could drive a few miles to a tire shop on the flat.

 

Read this thread from the beginning, it will answer all of your questions. Much cheaper to go with the OE toyota parts than aftermarket. But wait until memorial day for parts sales. This is the thread:
