    At higher speeds my prime wonders about a little bit.

    I did check th tire pressure and it is within spec. So its not overly inflated tires.

    This is most likely from a loosey-goosey chassis (yes chassis can act like a spring). Is there any strut bar or anti roll bar options for a 2019 Prime?

    Worst comes to worse I guess I can make a custom one.

    Toyota (under the TRD brand) sells suspension parts in Japan, described in my previous posting.

    My suspicion would be the ECO tyres - but almost all of us have stuck with them, because of the l/100km we get with them.

    If I decide not to change cars when mine hits 3 years (in 3 mths), I'm tempted to put some performance tyres on.

    A bit of an issue with that one, at first glance, I need to find US distributors or else shipping will be a hefty fee

    It could be,

    but my classic cars had the same issue. 80-90% was mitigated after adding chassis related braces.

    Hmmm something I have to try
