Toyota Prius Plug-In Spare Tire
The Toyota Prius Plug-In, like many newer model cars, does not come with a traditional full-sized spare tire. Instead, to save on weight and increase fuel efficiency, it comes equipped with a smaller, temporary spare tire, often referred to as a "doughnut". This spare tire is designed for short distances and should not be driven at high speeds. Additionally, the Prius Plug-In includes a tire repair kit with an inflator and sealant to fix a flat tire temporarily until it can be properly repaired or replaced. The size of the spare tire can vary, but commonly the dimensions are a diameter of 17 inches and a width of 4.5 inches. However, this can depend on the specific model and year of the Prius Plug-In.
Toyota Prius Plug-In models manufactured from 2012 to 2015 have tires with overall diameter of 25", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Toyota Prius Plug-In years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Toyota Prius Plug-In vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.3" to 25.8". Some Prius Plug-In models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Toyota Prius Plug-In spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
