I replaced them with the Michelin CrossClimate 2s just in time for the rainy season in my area. even with the new tires, I can easily lose traction and spin my wheels if I gun it off the line because this car is a FWD torque monster. But when I spin the CC2s, I never feel like I don\u2019t have control of the vehicle. I\u2019m really glad I upgraded the tires for the rain.
Reviews of spare parts for Chevrolet Bolt
The OEM Michelin Energy Saver tires sound borderline dangerous in the rain. I'm in SoCal; the previous owner had already swapped to Michelin Defender 2s lol. The Defenders though, they got grip for days.
brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)
Relubricating the steering rack is a big preventative measure the factory grease separated and can cause longterm gradual failure and a repair that costs 3k
Want a real out there suggestion. The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Kind of a rare car. But my dad had one and it was an absolute blast. 200 hp and 266 ft/lb torque that was *instantly* available made the car way faster than you would have ever guessed. Once you ditched the terrible economy tires on it, it handled incredibly well because all the weight was way down low. It was also really well balanced because, while front wheel drive, most of the weight was in the middle - so it didn't really act like a typical front wheel drive car.
The rainx blades fit nearly perfect and took me <10m to change. 2023, but doubt it's much different on a 2022 euv.
I got the Bosch one on Amazon, it claims to be HEPA. Not sure about that but Bosch tends to make quality products
Ended up with BFG ADVANTAGE CONTROL tires. Performance was much, much better in the rain and snow but my range dropped like a rock. The tires are absolutely fine for the daily grind since I plug in every night, but efficiency dropped 20%.
This probably won't be an issue for a 2018, but the spec tires that it comes with don't have good traction and provide a rougher ride.
Chevy Bolt. Then it was recalled for the battery fire issue.
