Cannot test windows down.Its so cold it will start to heat the cabin and it will ruin results. Should have +20 celsius outside temp and it would give accurate results. Lowest temp request goes is 16 celsius.

Cool report on the wheels and grill shudder. There was measurable difference with grill block in place...

Did more pressure testing. Test was correct yesterday(it was sunny today cloudy so tarmac colder today which is seen in results). Testing method is still accurate and valid the optimum pressure is between 2,4-2,6 bar. In the end did two runs with 2,3 bar and results were 0,24% difference to each other ( in the end of measurements there started to be more wind (tuulta) In EV you hear it clearly. Consumption starts to go higher after under 2,4 bar and over 2,6 bar.

There is noticeable difference in grip with low 2,4 bar pressures the slip ligth is not coming on in dry tarmac but with 3,5 bar is on up to 100km/h speeds.
