Prius (Gen 2) :: 08 Touring With Bridgestone Turanza EL400 02 Tires - Max Pressure Says 51 PSI


Oct 31, 2010

I just bought a used 2008 Prius Touring model and it has Bridgestone Turanza EL400 02 tires. Max pressure says 51 psi.

What do you recommend for tire pressure? I read a lot of posts about 42F/40R. Is that for all tires?

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Bridgestone Turanza EL400 - Uneven Inner Wear Due To Factory Alignment?

My front driver's side Bridgestone Turanza EL400 (225/40R18) has premature wear such that the steel belt is beginning to show through the center of the tread. The front passenger side tire has no such wear and the alignment is good.

Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: Trunk Space Area / 12v Outlets Touring Vs Non-Touring Models

I'm a rideshare driver who drives about 1000 miles/week. I currently have a Gen 2 which I love, but I'm looking to upgrade to a Gen 4 pretty soon.

-Does the Gen 4 have the same kind of under-trunk storage area in the hatch/cargo area? This is important for me on the Gen 2 because it allows me to carry equipment while having an empty hatch space for passengers luggage. Does it depend on if you have a spare tire or not?

-Real-world MPG in extended city driving with A/C on?

-Where are the 12v outlets? And extend one into the hatch area?

-Is there a notable difference in comfort for touring vs non touring models?

-Does the driver's seat with lumbar support make a significant difference in comfort?

Prius C :: Lower Tires Pressure Can Affect MPG?

I have a feeling my 2012 C 3 may have low tire pressure. One of the tires looks kind of softer. Is there an indicator that warns when it happens?

How in general do I approach this? For the past few weeks my mpg was low, barely making it into low 40's. So, I wonder if the tire pressure can affect the mpg.

Prius (Gen 2) Fuel :: 2007 - Touring Used To Get Only 38 To 40 Mpg?

My 2005 Prius with 86K miles regularly got 48 around town and 49 to 53 on long trips. I sold it to my son and his wife, they are also getting the same mileage. I bought the 2007 touring used with 41K miles and have never gotten over 41 mpg highway, and around town is 38 to 39 mpg.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2008 Touring Won't Go Into Gear On 1st Start

I just purchased a 2008 Prius C Touring edition from CarMax. I have an appointment to bring it back but this may be a user error issue. My issue is that when I first hit the Power button the indicator light on the button goes green. When I hit it a 2nd time the light goes orange but stays on. When I shift to R or D it will shift to N but no further. I do have my foot on the break but the only way I can shift into R or D is to hit the power button twice more, to turn it off and back on. When it turns on the 2nd time, the indicator light on the Power button goes off. Am I doing something wrong?

Prius (Gen 2) :: Driver Side Headlight Is Out In 2008 Touring (HID)

My driver side headlight is out in my '08 touring (HID) I bought replacement bulbs on Priuschat recommendation. Swapped that one out, no change. Is the ballast next on the list?

Also, this may be a coincidence. But that headlight assembly seems to be a bit leaky. After a rain a fair amount of condensation gets in there.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 Touring AC Stopped Cooling

I have a 2008 Touring. The air has always been ice cold, even yesterday. On my commute this morning I noticed that the air was not cold at all for the first time ever. The outside temp said it was 77. I changed the temp, turned it off, etc but nothing changed. I just had it at the Toyota dealer 2 days getting the oil changed.

Prius (Gen 4) :: 2016 Touring - Couple Of Clicks When Brake

Not all of the time, but sometimes, I hear a couple of clicks when I brake. It seems to happen for a while after first starting the car. It is only heard when pressing the brake. It may be intentional but I really have no clue.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2009 Touring - Loud Thump Sound On Acceleration

Purchased an 09 Touring and so far enjoying the driving experience. Getting 42/43MPG with mostly short trips. However, I have noticed one thing unusual. Not sure if I should be concerned or if this is a normal thing. I am a rideshare driver, and whenever a group of people get out and I accelerate away from them, I hear a pretty loud thump sound. This happens usually when a group of 3 or more exits and often does not happen when one or two people exit the vehicle.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Electric Lock On Doors Not Always Working On 2007 Touring

I've got a 2007 Touring and all of the 4 doors don't always lock when I push the button outside of the car or the key fob. Sometimes the front left or the front right doesn't lock. When I push the button or the key fob I don't get the single beep to let me know they are all locked. I just hear a click, click.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 Touring - CEL On At 68K / New Catalytic Converter Needed

My '08 Prius Touring is in the shop today because the 'check engine' light came on at 68,500 miles. I just got word from them that the catalytic converter is bad and needs replacement. Good thing I bought the extended warranty! Well, I searched the forum for similar problems and it seems like this is somewhat common, albeit on cars with a bit more mileage and maybe a year or more older. I don't abuse my car at all, though I often roll into full-throttle while merging.

Is this a symptom of a poor part design or of a system that fouls the cat over a certain amount of time? I'm not looking forward to replacing it again at 130K after my extended warranty expires.

Prius (2004-09) Fuel :: 2008 Touring - MPG Drops After Oil Change

I changed the oil on my 2008 Prius Touring in the weekend. I consulted the manual after the oil was changed. One mistake I made was to use 10W-30 instead 5W-30 recommended. The manual mentioned that it affects MPG with 10W-30. For the 270 miles trip I took right after, my average MPG dropped from ~46 to 45 highway. My short commute driving dropped from ~37 to 34. Comparison are made on the same roads with similar temperature and driving speed. Is that normal? Will it go back up after a while?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 Touring Won't Shift Into Drive Or Reverse (it Will Go Into Neutral)

I have an '07 Prius Touring with about 95K miles that I have owned for about a month (after my previous '07 was totaled). My wife tried to drive it for the first time today, and the problem is that when my wife tries to start the engine, the dash lights come on and the color display comes on, but the car won't "shift" into Drive or Reverse (it will go into Neutral). A dash warning light also comes on that the owner's manual says means Take to the Toyota Dealer for Service. Then if she gets out of the car and then I get into the drivers seat, everything works fine.

Ford Excursion :: Air Pressure On 305/70/16 Tires?

How much air pressure should you run on 305/70/16 tires?

I had tires rotated and the shop had them at 35psi. That was just too low and didn't drive well. I have about 42psi right now and they drive better.
I've heard everything from 35-50psi.

What do you run?

So had some new shoes but on the car, but the next day after having them installed the air pressure sensor tripped. Anyway i can somehow reset this without a (sigh) trip to the dealer? By the way, yes, I did check the air pressure levels and they are spot on.

Gmc - Terrain :: Tire Pressure Loss In All Tires?

I have read many of the comments re tire pressure loss but don't know if I have a unique problem or not. I own a 2011 GMC Terrain and my tire pressure is monitored through On Star. Every report I receive tells me my pressure is low in all tires - about the same amount, with little variance. Fortunately I own a air compressor and add air - virtually every 10 days or so.The dealer tells me all tires have small pores which cause leaks and I should go to a tire firm to have nitrogen put in the tires. (He didn't say it would seal the tires but indicated it would solve my problem?) Almost all of the comments on your site do not speak favorably of this. Any thoughts?

Passat (B6) :: TPMS Light When Pressure Below 36 Psi After New Tires?

Last week I had new tires installed on my 18" Samarkands and the TPMS light has been on since. I've verified that all four corners have the metal TPMS sensors in place and the tires are at 40psi, spare is 38psi. I have driven over 100 miles since the tire change. In past the light would come on when pressure below 36psi, and would turn off when tires inflated.

Have this problem after a tire change? Are the sensors easily damaged? Discount Tire/America's Tire Store said to bring the car back so they could take a look, but first wanted to get Vortex input.
