larger wheels/tires are heavier.

heavier wheels/tires means more unsprung weight.

More weight means more power required to get them going.

more power means less range.

seems pretty obvious that they should be going with smaller, lighter, narrowing wheels and tires.

    I bought an Ioniq 6 because of the range. I would have gladly paid more for the higher trim levels but because of the loss of range I took the SE. Which was also incredibly hard to find, I had to go one state over to buy it.

    When I found out that the loss of range was because of the tires I was pissed.
