Hi all, new to the site, but not new to the brand.

Are there any specific options recommended for snowy winters? Would torque vectoring be helpful?

I'll be putting 21-inch winter wheels/tires on and would like the 22-inch sport techno wheels (seem most like Spiders) with summer tires. I suppose if I do this, I will lose some range compared with the 21-inch. Any thoughts as to how significant that would be?

PTV would be a help but not essential for that purpose. It is great for other purposes and if budget permits I'd tick the box.

On the configurator when you change wheel size you'll notice the range change so use that as an indication.

Lower profile and wide tyres and open design rims leads to more drag hence lower range.

Remember that in winter your range will take a material hit regardless (I've seen 30% on my Taycans) such is the nature of current battery tech.
