    Finally had it with the 19's and POS Toyo's. Lack of handling while flogging up Berthoud Pass and road noise, lack of choices or long wait time if one blows....
    Especially after swapping back from my winter set up. Just too much...Lol

    Very happy with these 17's from Enkei(Japan) with Conti DWS06- 225/55/17
    Tires fit perfectly in wheel well.

    Rides better, a lot less noise.

    Also, the new wheel and tire is almost 5lbs lighter than the OEM

    Very good point , Prius should come standard with decent 17 inch wheels on each version . 19 inch should be an option for those that want them

    Thanks for this. Contemplating something like this a bit later on. Figger I will live with the 19s until I get a bit more use out of them first.

    Do let us know if mileage measurably improves.

    I was going to drive the tires down first but just couldn't take it anymore
