Ah, you're one of those who insists that anyone who does anything you
don't like--for whatever reason--must be a "troll".
Got it.

But I didn't do that, so your declaration is bullshit.

Sorry, I guess I took your babbling about "Low resistance = low
resistance. If it's designed not to present
resistance to the roadway, then it's designed not to present
resistance to the roadway. Stopping is just like going, but in the
opposite direction" as another way of saying lack of resistance means
lack of traction. Perhaps you would like to explain what you were
saying there.

You have the best answer so far.
If you want the car to be as good as original then replace the tires
with as near to original as possible. Toyota engineers use what they
think is best for the application. I guess I don't understand why a
person would buy a Prious and not use factory equivalent tires. I mean
a person buys a Prious for a reason why change what it is?

Why change? Better traction in snow maybe(translation: safer)?
