(However, the better grip could have just been because Michelins (215/50R17) were several sizes larger and wider than the 185/65R15 Ecopias on the Prius)
was that the first gen ecopias or the gen 2 ecopias that came out around 2019 i believe?

bcause the ecopias i got last year completely blow the energy savers out of the water for wet grip. thats in portland rain and also florida thunderstorm flooding rain both. they even grip in the snow pretty well if its not a storm. did a few trips to timberline on mount hood with snowy roads and active snow early season and they wouldnt even drift on turns
