From the MT article above:
I think I read that the 2023 Prius has large wheels but skinny tires. Some will undoubtedly put a set of Prius wheels on a GR and have a lot of silly fun. It might even help the GR's efficiency.Sidestepping (a.k.a. dropping) the clutch with the engine revved to its 7,000-rpm redline will cause the three-cylinder to bog. But if you simply lift your foot quickly off the clutch pedal, the GR Corolla rockets away smoothly with just a slight squeal of slip from its Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.
