2008 Toyota Prius Spare Tire

The Toyota Prius is typically equipped with a compact spare tire, also known as a "donut," which serves as a temporary solution if one of the vehicle's primary tires becomes flat or damaged. This spare tire is smaller than the regular-sized ones, which aids in saving space as well as reducing additional weight. The spare tire in most Toyota Prius models, particularly the Prius C, is a T125/70D16 type, meaning it has a width of 125mm, an aspect ratio of 70%, is a radial tire (depicted by the 'D') and is designed to fit on a 16-inch wheel diameter. This size is compatible with the standard wheel size of the Prius, allowing for a smooth and safe transition until the original tire can be repaired or replaced. It is important to note that the use of a spare tire is intended for short-distance, low-speed driving due to its reduced durability and stability compared to a full-size tire.

2008 Toyota Prius comes with 2 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Toyota dealership to confirm the correct 2008 Toyota Prius spare tire size.
