    I need new tires for my 2012 Prius C 3 car and when I enter this into:
    TireBuyer
    BRIDGESTONE - Ecopia EP422 Plus
    Size: 195/65R15

    TireRack
    ECOPIA EP422 PLUS (H- OR V-SPEED RATED) Grand Touring All-SeasonSize: 175/65R15 84H

    Why does TireBuyer say 195 and TireRack say 175? I plan on having them shipped directly to a tire installer so want to make sure I order the right one. Which one should I order? Also, is there a better tire to order than the Ecopia EP422 Plus?

    Go with your current tire size?

    Current size is P175/65R15 84H so I guess TireRack is the way to go. Thanks.

    Yeah TireRack is pretty much THE resource, even if it's just for info.

    Really depends on what you're looking for. Price, best gas mileage, tire longevity, will it be used in snow, etc.

    175/65-15

    For what it's worth, Tire Rack has a $60 rebate for the Yokohamas.
