Sorry but I haven't measured the coast down characteristics of either car, yet. However, both have Sumitomo T4s and six of eight tires are 195 width and the other two 175s.

My posting was to suggests some areas that may impact rolling resistance. All I've done for aerodynamics testing with the ZVW30 has been some lower inlet testing in cold weather.
