it only offers 10 mile more range than the R2 if you don't drive below 0% and no one will do that

Please say more! I drive a 2022 R1T (with Meridian) and my biggest hesitation outside of RAP1 on the R2 is the sound system.

DaveA replied to the thread Growing efficiency Gap: R2 w/ 21" vs. 20" tire sets.Yes, I'm aware. This would be an experiment to see if higher psi would help range during highway driving.
