Yeah it appears you're right. I just found the photo buried in the Australian site too. They probably didn't realize there was a revision, rather than anything nefarious. I'll check Monday.

I've got PS4 on the stock wheels and it completely transformed the car. I even got traction on soaking wet roads where I used to slip easily before. |

I mean, generally, it will always be nice to have more grip, but will that extra grip kill the fun this kind of car is supposed to deliver? |

That's what I'm thinking... the JDM Prius tires may have been chosen specifically to just have the right amount of traction and the VSC/Track mode is tuned against that tire specifically ?

Any slight back movement and the tsc/esc would kick in violently. It was bad! |

This car has ample power to exceed the limit with the PSSs when you want to, and although I haven't driven on PS4s, I seriously doubt they're so sticky that the car will roll over before it slides. Quote:

The stock tires would let the back out whenever I cornered a little too quick on cold wet roads. I went to PSAS3 and that never happened again and is generally safer. The tail will still swing out readily on command so no fun was harmed in the process.

It won't slide as willingly as the stock prius tires, as others have mentioned the grip limit is just pushed higher. in a straight line the PS4 grip really well whereas you could easily spin the stock tires at low revs/speeds. |

Beautiful car! Enjoy!
But don't you think sidewalls of 235/40-18 tires on 18x9.5 rim look a little stretched? Did you consider 255/35-18? |

The rs3s were cheap too - $200 fitted and balanced... which in Australian money is cheapish. |
