315mm wide tires on the rear are really wide tires and I see they seem to only make that size in sticky rubber compound for being on the track, so that is also hurting your range by at least 10% if not more, so why not a set of tires/wheels for car shows and other events and a set for daily driving when you want that extra range? I would think if you went with something that had a vintage look to match the style of car wouldn't look out of place.

I know you said you didn't want to go with narrower tires but I think small compromises can be made.

Do you have a hard top or is there even an option for a hard top? or is it just a fair weather open top car?
