And: more available thrust per torque and lower CG for even better handling. The tires cost more than the energy per mile, so if you halve your tire cost and halve your range you come out even.
I don’t have an i3, I am in line for a Tesla3, but used i3s are looking like a good value...
I don’t disagree mostly:
though if diameter ~90% then acceleration ~110%
Agree on the odometer & speedometer discrepancies
Agreed about the wheels rubbing on the chassis or suspension have to make sure isn’t a problem.
Do you agree that the current tires wear out fast?
Do you think a...
Hmm. Tire rack reviews complain about tire life, Reviews in general note that there’s just not enough rubber on the road contributing to long braking distances and sliding around corners. 15,000 miles is long life for the ecopeia tires, a set delivered and installed ~$650. That’s about...
Has anyone set up their i3 with non-OEM wheels & tires?
I understand the specs are:
Bolt pattern (PCD): 5 × 112
Center Bore (CB): 66.7
Thread size (THD): 14 × 1.25
Diameter: 19 — 20
Width: 155
Aspect ratio: 60 — 70
Offset 43mm
For example: 215X50X18s would be .93 - .96 as big...
