Are the 17" tires really that much better for Gen 5?

    They might get sticker-shock when tire replacement is needed.

    Hello, just not clarify
    Are you stating that you are using Michelin 225/18 A/S4 tires will fit on a 2025 Prius OEM rims that came with 19" tires ?
    Also I am a bit confused as there are multiple "225/18" tires listed on the Michelin site.

    What actual width 225/ ??? R18 Michelin tire are you using on the OEM rims ? Screenshot 2025-07-01 at 7.21.33 AM.png
