    Interesting, almost four MPG spread.
    Has anybody gone to narrower tires?

    Four of the next size down would be rated for 444 fewer pounds. As the Prius only allows 810 lbs of passengers and cargo now. You would be down to 366 lbs for you, your passengers, and their luggage. That is quite a low cap on carrying folks.

    I was surprised by the results. The Integrity did better on the dry skidpad test? That is so weird!!!!
