That applies to possessives, not plurals. Plurals of words ending in "s" are "ses". Hence "Williamses", which is a word my father frequently derided as stupid when delivered by James Allen, is, in fact, correct. "The Williamses' tyres" is correct. Prius ought to be Priuses as a plural, with the possessive plural as Priuses' and the singular possessive as Prius's.
