Hi all I have Niche 17" wheel with 8 " wide. Currently have Michelin 215x45x17: too low profile and too much noise. I want to put 225 or 235x55x17. Would it be possible ? Any advises on tire size for 2013 Prius Plug in
Thanks, If I want go back to 15" I would do it long times ago. Don't need to ask question and post on Forums
Thank you. Have you ever tried or know some one install that size in 2013 Prius ? Any scrub, rub on tires ? Thanks again
225-45/17s probably would fit nice on the 8 inch wide rims - the tires would be just a bit taller and wider than what you have now. Good luck. I'm running 205-50/17s on standard ct200h rims. 20190218_164957 by Godzuki posted Feb 18, 2019 at 6:23 PM
Thank you, Ride quality ? I am thinking about 215x55x17. But I wlll wait cause the Michelin tires still look new. Just I don't like the ideal of the rims is show out more then the tires. Just like them "youngter" this day. Beautifull color. My wife love this color.
The ride quality on 205-55/17s is a bit more harsh over bumps than the standard 195-65/15s. Plus, the tires I have are rated XL (extra load), which has a stiffer sidewall than an SL (standard load) rated tire. Since you don't like the look of the rims extending further out than the tire, then you should probably go for a tire that's wider than what you have now, such as a 225 tire. As far as the profile, 45 is prob where you want to be so that it doesn't look like you have too tall of a tire. There are web-based tire size calculators that will permit you to compare the circumferential size of tires of different sizes. A 205-50/17 is comparable in circumference to each of the stock sizes 195-65/15 and 215-45/17.
Thank you very much. Very well details information. My problems is NO tires shop around San Jose area willing to try out the tires fit first.
