Tires Firestone or Goodyear
Have has ElectricDrive2 for a few months now and dry and wet traction is light years better than the OEM Michelins.
The Goodyears have a bit better comfort but worse tread life. Based on the tirerack reviews most people only got 30-50k miles from them. The Michelins should last 60-80k miles.
In the latest Tirerack comparisons the new Goodyears are surprisingly good and the Cross Climate 2.
I go with the Assurance ComfortDrive. Lower price and able to focus more on comfort vs Michelin focus on mileage. ComfortDrive is also awesome in rain which you get a lot of in Florida
I have Goodyear Forteras on my GC and like them a lot. They're very smooth on the highway.
Just had them installed this weekend at Sam’s club. I have the same impression in terms of noise but they feel like they track pavement grooves more than the OEM so it feels less stable than stock at highway speeds. Overall same efficiency and better grip than the OEMs so I am really happy. Let’s see how they hold up over time!
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.
Goodyear are fine but they wear extremely fast. Especially with AWD vehicles
I'd say Goodyear duratrac was my worst tires due to uneven wear and noise (probably due to the wear)
the Weatherready 2 is one of the worst tires when it comes to fuel economy.
