The Prius battery is warranted for 8 years/100,000 miles regardless of your state, unless you live in a CARB state where the warranty is longer (I don't think Arizona is a CARB state).

4) What brand are the OEM P195/65R15 tires and are they LRR?
There are a few possibilities--as of 2013, Prii come with either Goodyear, Bridgestone, or Yokohama tires stock (earlier years also had Michelin). All are LRR. (Mine has the Yokohamas--not well-reviewed on Tire Rack, but I've had no problems with them in ice, snow, and dry so far).

5) How accurate are the dash gauge MPG readings?
Mine is consistently 5-8% high.

6) How accurate are the dash gauge BATTERY readings (%-left, range, etc.)?
Don't know how exactly how accurate it is, but I believe you can read battery level as a % on Scangauge II.

10) How many problems with the Multi-Information Display (MID) unit (screen & electronics)...touch screen?
None so far.
