FYI, I just happened to calculate the "real world" (ie. not scientific) impact of switching to the RE92 tires on the ForkenSwift:
- 345 Wh/mi ... 10 drive/charge cycles before switching tires
- 285 Wh/mi ... 10 drive/charge cycles since switching tires
That's a 21% increase in range. (Or a decrease in battery discharge for the same distance driven, with associated benefits to pack life.)
FYI, I'm not actually planning any more tire tests. I will just aim to use RE92's wherever I can on the Suzukiclone fleet.
Also, for a pile of reasons, I am
DEFINITELY NOT suggesting that other people will see anything close to this efficiency increase if they switch to these tires.
