....Am I missing something, or is this ^^^ the first post in this thread that addresses tire width? Has no one tried going to a NARROWER tire on the stock rims...
This has been discussed, but AFAIK, no one has actually done it and posted results.
Remember, many of those most obsessed with range are referring to
range at freeway speeds, where tire/wheel selection will produce limited benefits.
I do most of my driving at lower speeds on rural roads, conditions where tire selection can make a large difference in range. I expect the available capacity from my OE pack to fall below 17 kWh before I need to replace my second set of tires, at about 60 k miles in late 2017.
At that time, range from my home charge might become a significant limitation to my driving, so I may consider the
skinny tire option.
