I really like your wheels. Do you have any info how much range you will loose, cue to aerodynamic comparing to the standard wheels?
I appreciate your reply

I now use around 520Wh/mile with those wheels and tires, but I have the aftermarket bumpers that also probably reduce efficiency too, but never measured how much.
Probably the biggest reducer of efficiency is the tires.

I made that sacrifice. Kids and I really loved the step but the armor makes more sense for how we use the truck. FWIW, there is enough of a step on the top of the armor that little feet functionally still have a step. I wouldn’t ask my grandma to step on it but the kids do fine and quickly just adapt to the smaller footprint.

I will write to the factory and see if they have some data, using the Pirelli scorpion.
Thank you very much

I initially had the Pirelly tires too, they are very good for range.
The Method wheels I have also poke out about 1"3/4, so that reduces the aerodynamics too.
The tires I have in that picture are very offroad oriented (they are Hybrid tires; a mix between All Terrains and Mud tires) so that's is why they rob you of so much range, but don't need to go that far if not doing offroad all the time. In fact I could have gone with some All Terrain tires that probably would have been more than enough for the offroad I do, but I also wanted the aggressive look :D

How did you get those to stick? The magnets weren’t strong enough in the ones I got and I kept losing and replacing them.

Is your wrap ceramic coated or nano graphene treated?:unsure:...If so, even Spiderman will fly off of that surface😅
I used 70% alcohol to rub the exorcist out of my wrap 1st...
Then I use the good old invisible tape liberally and strategically all around the magnet. I've taken it to over 85mph across multiple states; still googly away 😄
