Tires Pirelli or Nokia
Nothing better than NOKIAN TYRES
HAKKAPELIITTA
I’ve always been a fan of Nokian tires. Through research, found what seemed like the perfect set. Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re studless tires, but with crystals molded into the rubber compound that act like micro studs. I didn’t want anything that would create much road noise, since road noise is mainly what we hear in the EV, so these seemed like the best of both worlds.
Not sure your price range, but I have Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3’s on my Q5. Really quiet as far as road noise. Love em.
I found a good deal online for some Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires. My local Discount Tire shop price matched the online deal. They’ve been surprising good on the highway and have been great in snow, too.
I just drove home from the shop after replacing my stock 20" Goodyear Eagles with Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Elects with PCNS... WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN RIDE QUALITY!!!! HOLY COW! I HAD to share this!
With the Eagles, road noise was not as quiet as it should be with an EV and the ride quality was harsh...I really felt EVERY bump in the road, no matter the size.
After driving only 30 miles with these Pirellis today, all I can say is, "WOW!" I am impressed! Not only is the drive MUCH quieter, but the ride is not as harsh either! If I could rate it, somehow, I'd say the Pirellis are 30-40% less harsh than the Eagles...it is that noticeable. No second-guessing needed!
I got the pirrelli zero elects EV specific with foam. They are great and are lasting way longer that the pilot sports I had on there.
The Nokian tires are the winner. We run these tires in Greenland, and I run them on the R (The R2’s) in the North East. They are incredible tires in cold weather conditions. I’ve gotten many seasons - i am just now retiring them, after a very long run. They would have lasted even longer except I left them on the car in the summer because I couldn’t bring myself to switch to my firmer summer tires. Despite the abuse they held up.
My 1000 has a set of Pirelli Angel GT's that I'm still undecided on
Pirelli P7 A/S - nice but wore quickly, even on a Honda Fit. That, and the Pirelli A/S runflats that came OEM on the Alfa are the worst tires I've used
Those tires are very low quality. Rubber is not soft and flexible enough to create proper friction.
