Tuneko aerodynamic wheels

I have been doing testing of various wheels and tires since 2008 and in the past years my biggest dream has been to make my own wheel and tire model for electric vehicles.

At the moment the test tire size will be 195/60R18 Michelin e-Primacy and first test car Tesla Model Y where I have calculated the new wheel and tire solution will save 16% of energy.



Made a presentation on the matter here:
https://www.slideshare.net/Tuneko/tu...mic-wheelspptx

I have calculated and estimated these will save about 10% of energy on all EVs that are running similar +-5% diameter size tires than what these are. would you be interested to get them for your EV if my calculation will be proved in the coming months correct in the Model Y tests. Same test wheels will be tested also on Model 3, but that car I havent yet found for the tests that will be carried out in Finland.
