My 2008 prius is in need of new front struts and new tires. It's only my second car (my first being a 2002 Dodge Neon) and im not familiar with the best maitnence procedures yet. I know it only needs the two front struts to be replaced but I'm concerned that if I replace just those two then the pressure/balance will be off and it'll wear down the back struts. So my questions are: 1) Should I buy four new struts? Or will it be fine with just two new ones? 2) Should I buy tires and struts together to save a few bucks? 3) Any tips on finding the best deals/ right types of struts and tires?
I find buying OEM parts from dealers online is sometimes cheaper than buying aftermarket parts. I get my parts from camelback Toyota online.
