I don't see anything useful in the article, we already know higher pressure is good and metros came stock with 145s (10mm less than these) so aero disadvantage there. There is no point of reference in the article, crappy reporting and/or just a gimmick.

thats what i've been trying to say.
i'm leaning towards gimmick.
it's so cars like the i3 can look all big wheels and performance-like, whereas it would be better served with lighter 15" wheels and conventional narrow LRR tires.
