How do you check the tire pressure on a Toyota Prius?
Checking the tire pressure in your 2012 Toyota Prius V is relatively easy and important to do on a regular basis. Open the driver side door on your Prius V and look for a sticker that indicates what the tire pressure should be. Don’t use the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of your tires.
Which is the best tire pressure for snow?
Using the max. pressure on the sidewall is not recommended by tire experts (it’s 50-55 PSI in my tires). It gives you max. load capacity but can make the tires more susceptible to damage from road irregularities. Higher pressures work better in snow because the tire “self cleans” better (ejects snow from the tread).
