Even with the Prius tires I have tons of confidence taking corners hard and fast in this car.
i dont think the prius tire holds the car back as much as this forum would like to think. just take a look at that tire review that happened a couple months ago. the mustang and 1 series gained more time from a tire change despite the fact that they ended up with a less sticky tire after they swapped.
