2019 Hyundai Ioniq EV
Stock Size: 205/55/16
The current tires are Energy Saver A/S - Size: 205/55R16
Goal: Way Better Grip in Inclement weather while still maintaining or bettering range. Current tires are a deathtrap in the rain imho haha.
Thoughts: Getting a 195/55/16 tire would help with range as rotational mass wouldn't change (if I choose a better stock size tire, Mass per tire would change 2lbs per wheel).
Issue: While Rotational mass wouldnt change (most likely) on the 195 section tires the grip would be better obviously making it a less efficient tire. Might be overthinking it all but open to any pieces of information. Everything I find online seems to be in support of reducing sectional width for better range and also mentions tread design and rotational mass but don't really see to much concrete evidence on if rotational mass has issues with reducing EV range as regen would just be that much more.
What tire would you choose and any real world experience?
