How will this car be used? I'd be wary of going with a smaller diameter if you're going to be spending any time on the highway (shorter gearing).

The current Prius uses a 195 width 15" tire. Not sure what brand, though it's obviously going to be LRR. Might be worth getting those on some cheap steelies.

Also: I assume this is the I4 engine, not the V6?
