    I have 2013 Prius with 195/65/15 tire. Just obtained Prius 17" wheel. I am considering buying 215/50/17 tire as I dont want 45 profile tire. Anyone has experience with this tire size, especially on rubbing issue? It has 2% larger diameter and 10 wider width. Thanks in advance.

    Consider 205/50R17? They’re often (always?) spec’s XL, extra load. The OD is closer to 195/65R15 than 215/45R17?
