Low profile tires stiffer sidewall keeps more rubber on the road = better handling. The cost is a harsher ride.

Rotating mass at the wheels is a prime area for weight reduction. That’s how you end up with carbon fiber rims that cost around $5,000 EACH! just to save 2 lbs.

Glad you have real tires on it. but 20's would have been plenty. Def report back on any modifications to range etc, Nicely done

What do they do to the “fuel economy” (still new to electric cars so I don’t know what I’m supposed to call that yet ?)

They look low on the pic but actually they have a lot of tire and I don’t feel to much of any bumps really smooth.

Yea I know but the 22s make it look better and my ride is amazing didn’t suffer on handling at all. I wanted it to be different. I get stopped at every corner.
