You missed what I'm getting at. Look it again and pay close attention to the relationships between tire section width and wheel width. Turn-in response and steering precision generally improve as wheel fitments tend toward (or a bit past) what you'll see tabulated as maximum recommended for the tire size in question.I think European makers have gone much more extreme on wheels and tyres on all cars. My Lotus Evora for example has 20" wheels with 285/30 tyres - pretty shallow sidewall. Being a Lotus it actually rides really well despite this - as it seems does the Porsche. Not sure that is an EV thing specifically as the Panamera has very similar size wheels and tyres to the Taycan.
