    So, after shoddy cornering and an uncooperative curb took a sidewall chunk out of a rear tire, I used the excuse and inspiration from this post, to buy four Pirelli Zero All Season 215-55-17- they can be had for just over $ 90.- a piece right now, and have decent ratings, except on snow (!). I just had them mounted and can't really comment on handling or gas mileage yet. PXL_20240913_150106338~2.jpg

    Out of curiosity: shoddy cornering by you, the car, or both?

    Haha! Definitely me. The Prius was blameless.
