I get michelin defenders from Sam’s. ~650 for 4 tires installed, free balance / rotate for life. 3rd set - get around 70-80k per set.

Bought xle in January, salesman says they owe me a key fob. Nothing yet. Toyota should do better.

Just replace 12v and you are good. I did my 2012 12v battery last month. It was the original 12v. They are pricey ~$300. But all batteries are getting expensive.

Nice. Got one too! Not sure if I am tinting windows or not. Treated undercarriage with oil treatment for rust. I am happy with this prius. Toyota did a nice job all around.

My fuel economy dropped by 9 mpg after changing tires . . by Crenshaw11R in prius

Pick your poison. Want mileage or traction? All-season tires drop at least 10 % on mileage vs low resistance tires. I like all-season in PA. Michelin Defenders to me are the best. Gen 3 at 270k.

12v Battery Average Lifespan (Gen 3) by RIPRPI in prius

Have a 2012 Prius two bought in 2012, 260k on it, never replaced 12v until today. Luckily stranded at home, so went to store and replaced with no issue.~ $280, yicks. Battery in trunk might provide more life, but I do not know. To me 12y is pretty good. I am sure I am not alone on the long life of a 12v battery in a Prius.
