http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html Scroll down to the rim size calculator. Also the stock tires are junk when new. Don't try to save them they are just awful tires for this or any other car. Maybe they'd be good on a "sport" Prius but that's an oxymoron anyway. |

It doesn't improve handling but it does improve grip, which is very good if you are tracking or autocrossing the car. Plus with fatass tires, the car looks so good!

Check out DarrenDriven's old topics [edit: he put on other brand tiers, but in similar size, so not exactly what you want, it was pretty stretched.]
There are a few more people that did that. Way too stretched imo. Here you go, spot on, stock tires on x9 wheels: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=39241&page=2 |

This is often misunderstood by non experts seeking to improve vehicle performance. The ideal tire size for this car is probably 225/40 x 18. 245/40 x17 would be close to stock size but the narrower 18 in would be quicker. |

Tire width affects the shape of the tire contact patch, not the size of it (for a similar tire construction and pressure).
