    So I drive an 2012 toyota prius c two. I have 50,0000 miles on it. It still has the orginal tires! It has 15 inch steal wheels. Tire size not sure of. The deal wanted 700 for 4 new tires and balance. I thought that was alot. I paid less for 17 inch. So how much does new tires price run? We're should I get them? Can I get two tires for now and the others latter? Thanks.

    About $350 for a set of Ecopia EP422+ 70K tires installed at Costco now, $60 less if you are an executive member.

    Discount Tire shows lots of choices much cheaper than that.

    If not Discount or Costco, you should have at least some common tire store chain near your location.

    I know some places have rebates or gift card specials. Some have buy 3 get one free. I am debating weather to go for snow tires or cheapest I can find.

    With just one set of rims I'd just get some new all-seasons. Look up your car's tires on TireRack, just for info. Shop around. Costco's good, where I buy now, but it's a mixed experience. If you can find a dedicated tire place that does a good job, that's worthwhile.

    If you want to go cheapest, no regard to what kind of tire, Walmart, or local tire place.

    If you want LRR tires, like the car came with and worry about fuel economy, ep 422+ are good tires considering noise, traction, and fuel economy.

    Are you wanting a particular kind/brand of tire? Or just something to roll on?

    Anyone know what the stock oem tire for a 2015 Toyota Prius C is? Also I bent the windshield wiper arms today on some ice. The smaller passenger side arm bent that bent the driver side. I think around $350 installed is the cheapest I am going to get no matter what? Does that sound right?

    I have a 2012 Toyota Prius C two. I have about 50,000 mi. Besides a few accidents ( a guy back into me and then I hit a raccoon) I have not done much. I had the oil changed and not much else. I am about to do the first major thing on it new tires. It still had the original tires. I did have the windows 30% tinted.
