It's something to think about isn't it?
A thought that has crossed my mind,is that these super-donuts,while having remarkable R-R attributes,may have nothing else going for them.
They might do great in a straight line and kill you in a curve or in inclement weather.Without access to them it's a bit awkward to appraise their overall performance.
The other aspect,and this is from a Saturn parts guy in Los Angeles whom I'd phoned to see about purchasing a set of OEM EV-1 tires; he said in affect,sure they'll save you fuel,but the treadwear index is so bad,you'll end up replacing them in half the time ( mileage ).Economically,they made no sense.
Personally,I would have been willing to take the hit just out of curiousity.
We know what happened to the car and all it's parts.I was also after an EV-1 windshield,probably the lowest drag piece of glass on the N.American continent.What a loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
