   Agreed, these were 2014/2015s, the first years the made the BMW i3.

   Well, they don't get the money for the tires, Bridgestone does. I'm sure    
   it's an engineer designing in a vacuum for lowest possible rolling    
   resistance.   
      
   Like the engineer that canted the spark plugs back 30 degrees on the Prius.    
   If they'd canted them forward, changing them would be a breeze. As is, you    
   need to take off the wipers, the wiper valance and other parts to get to    
   them.   
      
      
   ... Walk without rhythm and you won't attact the worm.
