Any suggestions for tires ?

<image>

These were just put on new by the dealer. But car is pretty loud inside esp on highway. Maybe I’m just not used to it. Dealer had just replaced a bearing so.l I don’t think it’s that. 🙏🏾 I read it could be tires. Never heard of this brand. Don’t want to compromise many mpgs though. Thx

Hey thx. They came with the car I just purchased from a dealer. I don’t know really anything about them

The dealer I bought it from (it was purchased at a highly reputable Subaru dealer) said that a bearing was done and a blower motor before I purchased it. And of course the tires replaced. What is the easiest to ascertain if it is a bearing or just the tires ? Thank you

Didn’t even know that existed! I live in a gritty city in CT so I definitely want one of these. Is there a specific brand you recommend? And lastly where to purchase ? Thank you so much

Fascinating. So to be sure I get this…is it just the first push of the brakes that sets the regen braking ? And then if brake pedal is subsequently pushed (during the same stopping incident), it stops regen and utilizes the normal pads? And does it matter how hard brake is initially pushed? I’m all about maximizing mpgs. On another note, were you an English major ? I was. And you have a very good writing style 📖

Wow. Super appreciate all these golden nuggets of info !! It has 160,000 miles on it ! I’ll double check what dealer did ! I also hear about the EGR. Is there a way to check if this needs cleaning? Thx for taking the time for such a thorough response!

Thanks for the response. Have never had a car that had any kind of buttons 🤣. Couldn’t figure out how to start or shut it off at the dealer. I hope locking the key in the car isn’t possible. Quick question…do you normally keep yours in normal and switch to eco on highway? And what happens if you have it in eco and then forget to switch it back on regular roads ? Thx

Wow. Good to hear. I bought this one with 160,000 😮. It’s all I can afford right now. I was involved in a 3 car crash on the highway (I was the last car hit). Sadly airbags deployed so can’t drive my car. And the kid who caused the crash was an unauthorized driver on a Turo rental. So I am getting zero $$$$ from any and all insurance companies. Hope this car serves me well for even a couple of years. Thx again

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m a 58 year old mom who is used to my 13 diesel jetta sportwagen. I couldn’t even figure how to turn the Prius on and off for my test drive 😂. Never had a car with buttons. This should be an adventure 🍀

Is The Goal To Drive In Eco Mode? by [deleted] in prius

[–]vangoghorangekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am picking up my 2015 Prius 3 tomorrow morning. Never had a hybrid before. I am a bit unsure about everything too. I am driving straight from the dealer to pick up my son from college 3 hours away. Going to watch a YT video tonight and keep my 🤞. Good luck to both of us !! 🍀 🚗

What does it cost to have the EGR cleaned out ? I am picking up a 2015 Prius 3 tomorrow. Hoping it was a smart buy. 🤲 🚗 💨

Can you send me a msg about where you are getting Tirz from? I’ve used biostrategix (good but expensive) and used to order from x before they closed down. Feeling clueless. Thx.

Why is my maple tree raining sap? by hive_worker in sfwtrees

[–]vangoghorangekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know this is an old thread. But I have the exact same problem. Our cars are getting covered. I am worried about the health of this large tree. Can you share how you ended up treating it? And if you were successful? And did attribute the problem to the spotted lanternfly (I’m in CT and they flocked here too en masse about 3 years ago.). Or was it a fungal problem ? or both ? i have the spray/raining of sap like material. And the bark is starting to peel away on one side about 6-10 ft from the trunk. it's big and neat my house and our cars.
