The vehicle is fitted with tires designed to optimize the
performance.
Due to their lower profile they can be are more
susceptible to damage due to poor road conditions.

The Dicastal forged wheels are much lighter than cast
wheels. They also have a better mass ratio (unsprung
masses). This optimizes the vehicle's suspension,
performance, and road holding, especially when
cornering and driving on poor road surfaces. The forged
rim has a lower rotational torque and therefore lower
inertia, which means that less power is absorbed during
acceleration and better performance is achieved during
braking. The structural strength of the light alloy rims
gives them a weight advantage of 600 grams.
Instead of an emergency spare wheel. The vehicle is
equipped with a tire repair kit.
