There are always pot holes to consider. My wife blew two tyres in one. 20’s should be less fragile but like others have said 21’s look good.
I managed to buckle (beyond repair) two 20" wheels driving through a puddle that was hiding a deep pothole. I'm surprised that neither tyre seems to have been damaged, they're now on the new wheels.

What year Taycan do you have? I have a '22 with the PBP and haven't seen close to 3.2mi/kWh
21 4S
I don’t really drive in sports mode like I used to and I only really do freeway driving once or twice a week so that’s probably why my range is the way it is right now. I get about 280 miles on a full charge

Mine came with 21 mission e wheels so I didn’t have a choice. I came from a 23 Model Y on 19s which had a much rougher ride than my Taycan so I can’t complain. I average about 3.2 mi/kWh so I can’t be mad at the efficiency.

same on my MY20 T Turbo, I would dream of 3,2 miles / kwh.
Right now I'm around 3 * kilometers* per kwh, ie 1.9 miles, but it's really bad winter conditions, and doing only very small trips in city or inter-city, ie worst of the worst I'll get

I’m in the SE USA so our winters are mild. I don’t have a problem getting 3mi/kWh as long as the temperature is around 50 F. If it’s in the mid-60s to 70s, I can get around 4mi/kWh on a non-freeway trip
