We apply data-motivated priors on the peak absolute magnitude of Type Ia supernovae ($M$), and on the sound horizon at the drag epoch ($r_d$), to study their impact on the Hubble tension, when compared to the Planck estimated value of the Hubble constant.
We use the data from Pantheon$+$, cosmic chronometers, and the latest DESI BAO results for this purpose.
We reaffirm the fact that there is a degeneracy between $M$ and $r_d$, and modifying the $r_d$ values to reconcile the Hubble tension also requires a change in the peak absolute magnitude $M$.
For certain $M$ and $r_d$ priors, the tension is found to reduce to as low as (1.2-2) $\sigma$.
