Discovered a slow leak in my RR tire on Saturday. Took it to Discount Tire on Monday only to discover that a screw was too close to the sidewall for the tire to be repairable.
I would have to buy another "Prius" tire OR be
FORCED to upgrade to a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
Yes, I was
FORCED.
The tires were installed today ... a bit noisier [who cares?], with razor sharp handling and instantaneous turn-in at low-to-moderate speeds. I'll push hard this weekend once the mounting lubricant is fully dry.
Didn't want to spend the $, but I'm sure glad to have an excuse to replace the factory donuts.
