Air brakes. Dynamic winglets on the front axle to provide down-force.
In my own experience, the stock tire is 165R-15. Lot a lot of others, I ran 145-15s on the front; because it rolls [noticeably] easier and steers like a tractor. But what I found out was—downhill in the mountains you run out of tire before you run out out brakes. So I've gone to 165/50-15. It's the same width but has a shorter contact patch. My car is about 2000lb.
I believe the i3 tire is available in two widths, and in all-year and snow-tread. They're 26" tall. They're small but their designed to carry a maybe 3000lb vehicle. ...with good brakes.
I'd like mine on red Ford wire wheels. New ones that don't require occasional tightening, in red. I don't even like red, that's just the 'correct' color.
