    Today I purchased a 2012 Prius 2.

    I understand with the Generation 3 they come with The p195/65 R15 tire .

    With the car that I purchased today might have 5 to 10,000 miles left on those tires

    I have a 2008 Prius that I will be selling off as Parts only but the P185/65r15 tires are 3 months old and have less than 5,000 miles on them.

    The person that is interested in purchasing my 2008 Prius could care less what tires are on it.

    So can I take the OEM size tires of a generation 2 Prius and put them on a generation 3 Prius??

    If I'm able to then once the generation 2 oem size tires need replaced I will be going back to the Generation 3 OEM tire size.

    Ditto, Gen 2 tires are fine with Gen 3...
    Only one thing of concern is TPMS....
    Gen 3 rims has Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors, and Gen 2 doesn't. You may want to swapping out the sensors to the rims you are using, or you will see tire pressure warning light on dash...
