2010 prius rear wheel skirts and thinner tires #allthempg

Does anybody know if anybody still makes prius rear wheel skirts, and if the abs will go crazy with a smaller rear tire? I calculated out the rear weight bias vs the front and the front with a 195mm tie sits at 0.1 mm tread per pound, while a 165 or 175 rear would suit around .15 mm/lb. I want #AllTheMPG

Did anyone ever make wheel skirts for the gen3? I think there were some made for the gen2 Prius, but at a few hundred dollars a set, good luck ever breaking even. DIY will be cheaper.

195 to 165 or 175 is only skinnier, not necessarily shorter (depending on tire availability), which is what the ABS will care about.
