I did a little internet research a bit ago regarding wheel/tires for my Saturn, and what I found is that the stock alloys are actually quite light! Lighter than most aftermarket wheels, it seems. I was a little disappointed since I wanted an excuse to buy new wheels :-)
I'm sticking with the stock alloys, and stock size tires, and quite frankly just plan on buying the cheapest long life tire available locally when I need them. I figure, generally speaking, cheap tires = harder rubber = long tread life but lower grip = low rolling resistance. No matter what I get I suppose my RR will increase, since it will be hard to beat the old rock hard baldies that are on there now... david. http://www.evalbum.com/4021 >________________________________ > From: Ds2inc <ds2...@sbcglobal.net> >To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List <ev@lists.evdl.org> >Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 6:01 PM >Subject: Re: [EVDL] Ev wheels and tires??? > > >Thanks all for the info!!!
