Have a blinking 2nd bar at the moment having gone 7.7 miles. (did a full discharge recently to calibrate) We'll see what they can do in a best case scenario,,
All things being equal, (heat wind level easy gliding, new batteries, 15psi) other than the change to an IRC tire, I would say my "hit" in rolling resistance and range is 17% reduction. With my first set of new lithiums I eeked out 24 miles, and now 19.1 with .5 miles gliding home with zero bars.

Perhaps a bump in pressure to 18 will do better yet retain the comfort and safety of this fine tire combination?
