The Ecopia tires that came on my Prius and Spark EV were pretty awful tires. Swapping out the stock tires / wheels for some wider rims and all-season tires help the handling on the Prius a lot. The Ecopia on my Spark EV were so dangerous in the wet that I swapped them out at only 6,000 miles.
The very budget rear suspension didn't help the Prius either but Toyota swapped in an independent rear suspension for the 4th gen.
