Expect a solid 3-5mpg loss with the 17s and a tire like the Ecopia EP422. So now that you are in the mid 50s with 15s you could touch 50mpg with...
They are a different class of vehicle and not directly comparable to ICE vehicles because they use another source of energy besides gas or diesel.
Thanks, Ryan. I still love Prius but the Volt is a better fit for me at this point. I just wanted more of an EV feel than Toyota could provide...
Thanks! I was wondering how they planned on masking the ugly noise of the ICE generator.
Rav4EV = drools :love:
That is why many of us switched to a Volt. We want the EV feel during more of our driving time.
He removed them and installed 15" OE tires/wheels. He was asking about going back to the OE 17" wheels with aftermarket tires. :)
This is not an apples to apples comparison. If he is getting 50mpg with OE 15s he will not get 50mpg with aftermarket 17s unless his driving...
That is because not everyone puts the same emphasis on fuel economy that we do. Comparing performance to other non-LRR tires they are indeed...
Yup. Those are the OE wheels and the 195/65/15 will fit.
If you are only getting 50mpg with the OE 15s then you will not get 50mpg with any 17" tire unless you change your driving habits. You will always...
No problem. :) Take a picture of the wheel and tire from the front then a side profile view. Post it when you get a chance. I'm interested to...
They would mount just fine. The wheels are 15x6". A 195 will fit on a 6" wide wheel without issue. A 205/65/15 would mushroom out I believe.
Good catch! :p
The OE tire size is 185/65/15 for the 2004-2009 non-Touring Prius. :)
A lot of us already have. :) That being said, the Prius handles pretty well once upgraded to 17" wheels, decent LRR tires and lowering springs....
I wish! Hahaha I live 49 miles from work. I'd love to have a short commute again. I keep trying to get my girlfriend to work at a different...
Since she is in NY I would suggest running true winter tires or something like the Nokians WR series and swapping to all-season tires the rest of...
Assuming she has the original wheels. I would double check the wheel and tire size again. If they are the OE wheels then a 195/65/15 will fit just...
I went cheap, not stupid. LOL I made sure they used 12ga wire even though the run was less than 10' in total wire length. We used a 20amp...
