am a new member of this side and also a new owner of Prius (model 1998)

I am from Cyprus and i imported my car from Japan and i am looking from some extra informations

i need new tires and i wandered what type are suitable for my car.

my radio receiver has no power. i checked the fuse and its ok .i also connect another simple radio receiver on my cars connector and is working ok.
Noted that recently i changed my battery.
I wantered if there is any code i must insert or if there is any buttons combination i have to pressed first, so my receiver powered.

radio

yeah, sounds like the radio thinks
that it was stolen from the car
(lost power), so the radio powered itself
off (as a theft-deterrent feature).

I'd assume that there's a button-press
sequence to make it work again, but
I do not know what it is.

sorry.

Well, that'll work for the newer model of Prius (the model year 2001+)
but the original poster has a 1998 Japanese imported Prius.
My recollection is that the older Japanese Prius had a different wheel than the newer Prius, so the tire info for the newer Prius may not be backwards-compatible with the older Prius.

The first generation of Prius had 15 inch tires, so there's a ton of choices that will work on it.

Our limited selection is due to having 14 inch tires.
