285/35-20 Square Setup for Track

The width is probably a smaller factor than the tire compound and construction. Most of the rolling resistance comes from the hysteresis of the tread (it doesn't recover from deformation instantly so there's energy loss from deforming it) and that increases with a softer, stickier compound and a stiffer sidewall (causing the tread to deform more and the sidewall less). Also why I think "EV" tires are a bit of a scam, many come with worse traction and less tread depth so there's less to deform but they only last a fraction of the mileage, even when accounting for the increased weight and torque of EVs.

So you can still go with a wider front tire but the type of tire you choose will impact range more.

That sounds very reasonable, thanks for your insight!

Where did you get your Rotiforms from? Your setup is pretty much what I want (square and max tire) for to improve summer fun handling, because why not .

I think the specific model you had is discontinued perhaps.

Wheels boutique in Miami supplied the two sets of Rotiforms I have. They can work with Rotiform to customize the spec.

I want to get in on this too.

Do you know if there is a 20" setup that fits over the PSCB?
