Can I do a 4.27% tire stagger on a Prius?
195/65/15
175/65/15
Taller is 4% shorter and turns more revolutions**
You guys think a 4.27% smaller diameter tire on the rear of the prius will still allow the abs tcs system to function?
2010 Prius (Gen III)
The tire is load permitting and it would be nice to see a further 9.62% reduction in rear rolling friction coefficient for basically free since I'm needed to replaced 7 year old wide non lrr tires on my prius.
Its basically the same type of crazy tire stagger stuff the really range restricted electric cars do to pick up range
I'm thinking it will make the car see the front wheels are turning slower and could affect abs/tcs intervention but could be positive or negative.
This car is allergic to front wheel slip tcs wise its too restrictive. It would rather not move at all than allow wheel slip (aka dont park on grassy hills, very embarrassing to punch in a cheat code in your car for 5 minutes to be able to move). So it could possibly improve the situation.
But it could also just be such a great difference it shuts the system off right off the bat like the C5 corvettes when going from stagger to no stagger...
Thoughts?
