About 195/60R18 Tires

The 195/60R18 tire size is relatively uncommon and is found on a limited number of vehicles, including certain trim levels of the Toyota Prius and some hybrid models that prioritize fuel efficiency with a narrow tire profile on a larger wheel. This size is specifically engineered to reduce rolling resistance while maintaining a larger diameter wheel, making it popular among manufacturers of eco-friendly and hybrid vehicles. If you own a vehicle requiring this size, it is important to verify fitment carefully, as the combination of narrow width and large rim diameter is not interchangeable with more standard sizes.

At the budget end, Falken and Kumho offer reliable options in this size with decent tread life and adequate performance for everyday hybrid vehicle driving. Mid-range shoppers should consider Hankook or Continental, which provide a good balance of fuel efficiency, ride comfort, and durability well suited to hybrid applications. For premium performance, Michelin and Bridgestone offer top-tier options in this size that maximize fuel economy ratings and long tread life, which can offset their higher upfront cost over time.

Treddur is currently tracking 6 listings for 195/60R18 tires. Prices range from $54.04 to $226.00 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this size is primarily used on hybrid vehicles, demand remains relatively stable year-round, but you may find slightly better pricing in late winter or early spring when retailers run promotions ahead of the spring driving season. Buying outside of peak summer and winter changeover periods can sometimes yield modest savings on this specialty size.

Due to the relatively low demand and specialty nature of the 195/60R18 size, prices tend to be slightly higher per tire compared to more common sizes, typically ranging from around $90 to $200 per tire depending on brand and performance tier.
