I"m sure this was mentioned but a Prius has a CVT which putting larger tires doesn't do anything besides add weight since the CVT adjust the gear ratio constantly. Now if the Prius had a fixed geared trans like most automatics this would add weight but would make the gears taller. Long story short wrong car to test and prove the larger tire theory.
