Having a very low center of gravity certainly should help along with a very stiff structure. I'm not sure how much wider of a tire would fit in the wheel well (it has a fairly tight turning radius), but wider certainly would hurt the range both from rolling resistance and wind resistance. I think in the near term, finding alternate tires may be tough. Being a city car, it may not see the miles a more traditional vehicle would, so it may be awhile before they're needed, and more choices may show up.
