My current R1T has 21" Tires and the tire shop tells me these are unique. They suggest I look at the 20" wheels for my R1S instead since they will give me a smoother ride and more tire choices in the long run. The issue with the 20" tires is the additional $1,800 and the 40 miles you loose per full charge. Any comments, suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks

What is your concern about the uniqueness? It's not inherently a bad thing.

Tire shop will be able to buy replacements, they're just unlikely to have them already stocked in the store.

The all terrain tires will not be more comfortable on road. Road tires will win that competition easily. The all terrain tires will be much more comfortable off-road though.

It’s the 20” ATs that lose you that mileage, so 20” wheels and road tires might be the answer for you.
