Bolts tend to eat through tires faster than my other cars, but that may be because it's fun to drive, so I accelerate and corner a little faster than I do in other cars. But this is a complaint that I hear from a lot of other EV drivers too.
Drove a Chevy Cavalier my entire apprenticeship. Good on gas, easy to park, sure footed with Snow Tires.
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.
when I bought my car in 2020 with \~27,000 miles on it, I replaced the cabin air filter, wiper blades, and all 4 tires immediately upon purchase because they all needed it.
My experience is briefer: 3 years with a Bolt EUV. I bring it in for tire rotations and maintenance wise that’s pretty much it.
Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.
Take it from someone who for the first 15 years of driving spent the big bucks on Conti DWS/Michelin Pilot's/Goodyear Assurances/ Pirelli P Zero's/Hankook Ventus etc. At least two dozen sets.
All a waste of money unless you are well off. I am by no means poor anymore but I started running the super generics about 8 years ago, Achilles Desert Hawk's, Gladiator XT's, Westlake's, Lexani's and now Lionhart's.
No they are not as good as the name brands, but every day driving you and 99% of people can't tell and you will naturally acclimate to whatever the limits are over time while saving 60-75% off buying name brand if you really take your time and shop around.
I've towed my 8000lb camper around the country, through the Rockies with some of these generics.
You can go with Achilles, on eBay, I’ve had some not bad
I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.
1600 miles on my car. Daughter drove down a road being repaired and apparently some of the rough road gouged the inner sidewall of the left rear. The construction is just a mile away. She arrived home and I received a low tire alert. An hour later tire was completely flat at 6 psi. The tire was peeled back in three places. Self sealing did nothing.
