Only need 2 channels of measurement. The wind tunnel speed and the force pushing back on the car.
The most efficient tire, we already narrowed it down to 2 in the USA, it's either mitchlin energy saver A/S or ecopia 442 or whatever the designation is now.
My money is on the energy saver A/S. If you want to sell a car in the US it has to have a dot approved "tyre".
They could just forget about wastefully covering the car with virtue signaling solar panels and just produce the world's most efficient EV now while gas prices are still ridiculously high.
