The Toyota Prius Prime is the plug-in hybrid version of the Prius, EPA-rated at up to 44 miles of electric range in current form (the 2017-2022 generation was rated at 25 miles) before the gas engine engages. Low rolling resistance is the top tire priority for Prius Prime owners who want to maximize EV-mode range and fuel economy in hybrid mode.
Toyota Prius Prime tire sizes
The 2023 to present Prius Prime uses 195/60R17 on the SE and 195/50R19 on the XSE and XSE Premium. The earlier 2017 to 2022 Prius Prime used 195/65R15 on 15-inch wheels.
The 2023 redesign updated the wheel size significantly. Verify your model year on the driver door sticker: the jump from 15 to 17-inch changes tire selection substantially.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Toyota Prius Prime use?
2023 to present: 195/60R17 (SE) or 195/50R19 (XSE, XSE Premium). 2017 to 2022: 195/65R15. Verify on the driver door sticker; the model year significantly affects the tire size.
How much do Toyota Prius Prime tires cost?
195/65R15: $85 to $130 per tire. 195/60R17: $115 to $175 per tire. A full set of four on 15-inch installed runs $340 to $520.
Will new tires change my Prius Prime's range or fuel economy?
They can, more than most people expect. Rolling resistance is a big lever on a plug-in hybrid, so switching from a low-resistance eco tire to a grippier all-season can trim both electric-only range and gas-mode MPG. Stick with low-rolling-resistance touring tires to protect the efficiency you bought the car for.
Should I replace all four tires on my Prius Prime at once?
It's the cleanest option and keeps rolling resistance even across the car. If you replace only two, put the newer pair on the rear and match the same model so handling stays predictable. When a single tire is damaged, ask the shop whether the others still have enough tread to pair with a fresh one.
