About 195/65R18 Tires

The 195/65R18 tire size is relatively uncommon and is found on a limited selection of vehicles, most notably certain trim levels of the Toyota Prius and some compact hybrid models that prioritize fuel efficiency with narrower, taller tire profiles. This size is specifically chosen by manufacturers to reduce rolling resistance and improve aerodynamic efficiency on fuel-conscious vehicles. If you are unsure whether this is the correct size for your vehicle, always verify by checking the sticker inside your driver's door jamb or your owner's manual.

At the budget end, Hankook and Kumho offer reliable options in this size that provide solid everyday performance at a lower cost. For mid-range buyers, Michelin's Energy Saver and Bridgestone's Ecopia lines are well-suited to this size, delivering strong fuel efficiency and longevity that align well with the hybrid vehicles that use it. At the premium level, Michelin stands out with its dedicated low rolling resistance technology, making it a top choice for drivers looking to maximize the fuel economy benefits their vehicle was designed to deliver.

Because this size is primarily associated with hybrid vehicles, demand tends to remain relatively steady year-round, though you may find slightly better pricing in late winter or early spring when overall tire demand dips. Buying outside of peak fall all-season and winter tire rush periods can help you secure better availability and pricing.

Due to its limited fitment applications and lower production volume, the 195/65R18 size tends to carry a slight price premium over more common sizes, with fewer budget options available and less frequent promotional discounting.
