My early review of the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires just bought for my 23’ Bolt EV LT2 with about 500 miles driven. So far, very happy with the tires. They are definitely very quiet and smooth riding. On asphalt roads I pretty much got to listen hard to hear any noise. On concrete roads there of course is some noise, but not anything that would bother me at all. Takes bumps and rippled roads well. Efficiently wise, seems equivalent to the OEM Michelins. Not as pricey as the OEMs. So if you’re looking for what “ looks like” a good tire for your Bolt or any electric car, these seem to be a wise choice. I will re-review when I get around 2500 miles on them.
I take insanely fast turns, also in NYC there are shitty roads and it's been raining and snowing a lot, the stock bridgestones are terriblely awful it feels like I'm driving on ice, changed them out for DWS06 plus 225/45 so the sidewall got a bit bigger and everything else improved, I went from taking 15-20mph turns in the tight nyc roads to now 25+ comfortably, cutting up on the highway has never been easier, both dry and wet, also the car drives even better in the snow. The road noise is noticeably quieter and the ride is smoother although thats mainly thanks to a bit bigger sidewall.
A good solid mid tyre is Conti Super Sport (I think).
typical time on GP5K 28mm is 45mins with a dead shortest time of 32mins with a strong tailwind. Both bikes set up to have nearly identical geo relationship between saddle, primary grip area, and bottom bracket and thus identical posture.
I notice it everywhere in my riding- turns, takeoffs, climbs, I *definitely notice it* on multi hour rides… and I’m no pro.
I went from Kenda to Conti GP 5000s and it felt like I got a new bike. And my speed increased by several mph. You just can't get upgrades like that with any other component
When I switched to Conti GP4000sii, those were 12.2 watts per tire. Total of 24.4 watts.
The difference between them obviously 40 watts (depending on conditions). Yeah, that is a big deal. And you can feel it. One is like pedaling through mud in comparison to the other floating over the road.
Good year weather ready tires are very good. I would get them for my winter setup if they came in 15's and my buddy just put them on his golf r as his winter setup.
DWS06 on all my cars. By far the longest lasting and best performing tire and cheaper than the competition.
I only buy Continental touring tires. They're hard, and a bit noisy, but they hold up forever to highway driving.
I have them on my Altima. Worst tires for hydroplaning I have ever owned. Frst time it rained, I thought the were directional and installed backwards.
