More wheels and tires are being bougth for the next tests:
Now I have 2 sets 195/60R18 e primacys.
215/55R18 Continentals
For those I have 7x18, 7,5x18 and 8x18 wheels to see which strech is best for handling.
205/60R18 vredestein are being bought next.
215/65R17 Hankook Ventus S1 EVo3 EV . This will be interesting size as the compound and the tire outside diameter is same as Tesla Hankooks (very close same compound). These will most likely come to 7,5x17 wheels.
I am also little bit tempted to buy 205/55R19 eprimacys, but there 8x19 wheels are tricky to get secondhand.

All tires are A rolling resistance except the continental is B and the OEM 255/45R19 Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 EV will be the reference set.
