    Has anyone loaded/carried 4 stock tires (185-65/15) in the back of their Prius? It looks like there'd be plenty of room with the back seats folded down but I want to be sure before I head out.
    Thanks

    Yes. I just bought four 185-65/R15 tires online and took them to the local shop to have them mounted and balanced today.

    So, yes they fit.

    I got all 4 loaded in with the rear seats folded down. Plenty of space.

    Mine was with 2 adults, 2 kids and a strawler . Picked up the rims somewhere on the way home and wasn't prepared. Normally I try to find a moment when I don't have my family with me... The car has lots of space, far more than its competitors in this segment.

    I think you and your passengers would be well protected if you were rear ended with the tires back there. :)
