I'm definitely thinking more SUV than Prius; as that is where the issue was and is to a larger extent. Large side wall, heavy and top heavy vehicle.

Still may give more control to a car with a narrow side wall since you'll have a bigger contact patch that just the rim, but not as big a deal as truck or SUV.
