Exactly.
The Michelin Primacy HP tire is ALSO an OEM tire on various models from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. (See Michelin site, and Tire Rack.) Just because it's a low rolling resistance tire that is ALSO used on a Prius, does not mean it is in any way dangerous.
Wasn't there an article, a review, online in the past year about an intro drive for the press on the Isle of Man in which they declared the stock tires to be EXCELLENT in the wet?
I looked, but now I cannot find it.
