Tires Nokia or Sailun
We moved to Sailun eRange tires on our Leaf. They have been fantastic for efficiency and holding up well.
I got the Nokian Outpost APT and they are amazing in snow, look great, have a long warranty, and a mild increase in road noise.
I bought Sailun E-range designed for EV. They cost less than others EV tires. So if they last less than expected, I will had save the equivalent of 1 tire. Until now they last.
As for a tire vote, if i was going the EV route, the Sailun Erange come Very highly rated for commuter driving. Cheap, long lasting, survives pot holes with thin profiles. Just dont expect ultra high performance nor surviving -20 winters.
Tires are the Nokian Hakka R5 OEM tires from Tesla. (studless winter tires)
I'm just letting the car deal with traction, giving about 25% accelerator input.
I drove it last weekend in a Prius with three-peak mountain snowflake all weather tires (Nokian WRG-5). Like other all-weather tires, they're good in anything down to about -15°C and start to get skittish below that as the rubber hardens.
I did the same but went with a nokian tire. Love that tire. nokian is amazing. My ride improved and road noise was reduced.
I picked up a set of aftermarket rims and snow tires from Tire Rack and have been loving them for mountain trips and Local winter road travel.
I drove to Chicago and back on Saturday with a set of Nokian all season tires and only fishtailed once when making an ill advised lane change at speed.
What kind of winter tires are those? Look more like summer tires with sipes and studs in them.
Edit: Did a Google Lens and found them. Sailun Ice Blazer WST3.
The reviews I found absolutely slaughtered them. A car owner organization here had never tested worse tires when they tried them back in 2019 heh.
Either way those were probably gone last season as well. I never drive with less than 3mm of thread depth on mine.
And they were overinflated as the wear is mostly in the middle.
