I love people say that the stock tires are only barely usable because one wrong move even with the nannies will send your tail spinning out of control. What this tells me is that instead of spending money on car mods, there should be some resources put towards DRIVER mods.

The stock tires are fine. No Pilot Super Sport, but fine. The issue is that the car is so confidence inspiring, drivers go too fast and overwhelm the tires. I like them fine.

The Michelin Primacy HP should be a LOT better in the wet than the OEM Turanza EL400-02, which is the lowest-rated (24th out of 24) tire in the second-lowest street tire performance category at Tire Rack. Suck wet performance and apparently next to no winter capability.

Hey but they don't come on Prius so they are automatically way better!

No matter the tire, or the mods, or the conditions you have to know your limits. When in doubt, keep it on the track.
