MICHELIN › Tires

Grip:

Have a 2017 Volt in Ottawa for the last 2+ years.

- Summer range is about 100km and winter range is about 65km

- Have a home charger so I don’t rely much on the chargers around the city. It is convenient at IKEA and the few other places.

- Totally worth having it as I used to spend about $220 a month in gas and that equates to about $25 a month in electricity.

- We have Michelin X-ice 3 tires and it works great in winter. Something useful about electric cars is that they are quite heavy due to the batteries so it assists with the traction.

Pros: works great in winter

Cons: winter range is about 65km

Vehicle: Chevrolet Volt

I am running 235/35/19 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3’s on the OEM Englishtowns. In terms of performance, I would say they are really good I didn’t have any issues with braking or accelerating

Pros: really good performance

Cons: a lot of snow

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

I have a RWD LR Model 3 so my reply is based solely on this. I have never considered any other EV so I can't tell you about them.

\- I drive my son all over Ontario, Quebec, and the northern US for his sports year round. Sometimes to very rural areas. You'd be surprised where you come across charging stations.

\- You can change your habits to allow more efficiency in the winter: schedule your charging to complete around the time you plan to leave, try to make sure your battery is warm when you drive (see first point), always make sure the battery is warm when you charge, use your heated seats more than your HVAC, lower your driving speed to match the speed limit, etc.

\- my personal experience (22k KM on my car) is that you will no doubt experience some range loss in the winter. The colder it is, the worse it is. I would say on average I lost about 30% last winter but some of that is due to my heavy foot on the clear days.

\- I have put winter tires on every car I've owned in the last 25 years. So yes - I have them on my Model 3 and yes it handles like a dream in the snow.

Pros: handles like a dream

Cons: 30% range loss

Mileage: 22000 km

I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.

Pros: handles fine in winter

Cons: burns more fuel

Vehicle: Toyota Prius

I replaced them with General Altimax, dealer reccomended them. I have about 10k on them and like them. Took them on some mild-moderate off-roading out in the Mojave the other day and they did amazingly well for road tires.

Pros: amazingly well for road tires

Mileage: 10000 km

I've had a Leaf for over a year now

>How are the charging stations across the city?

I've not had to use many charging stations, but there are quite a few around. Rideau Centre, IKEA, others that can be easily found in the Flo/PlugShare App.

>How does it last during rush hour(s)? (I’m particularly stuck on Hunt Club in the mornings/evenings)

Pretty fantastic, very little energy is used when stopped.

>How does it do during the worst of our Ottawa winters? (Assuming winter tires is a must)

It can get bad with the range

Pros: saving around 100$ per 1000km

Cons: range can get bad

Vehicle: Nissan Leaf

I went with 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on 18x8 BBS SR. Even these are pretty wide if you're doing a lot of snow driving, but I'm almost always on asphalt so I wanted dry traction and braking too.

Pros: dry traction and braking

Cons: pretty wide

Grip:

As other have mentioned, that tread issue does kinda remind me of how my Firestone snow tires looked after a couple of summers driving on them and doing a fair amount of burnouts and drifting in my 350HP E23.

Cons: tread issue after misuse

Vehicle: BMW

That exact same thing happened to my 2014 CX-5 GT. Toyo's warranty is no good, they ask you to ship the tires for them to evaluate warranty claims, ended up throwing them out and getting Pirellis.

Cons: warranty is no good

Vehicle: Mazda
