I replaced the tires on my Model 3 at 30,000 miles. I did not care for
the lifespan on the factory Michelin Primacy MXM so I researched for
probably 2 months and landed on the Nokian Entyre 2.0 I ordered a set
and put them on and have put about 3000 miles on them. They have
performed well in both wet and dry conditions, they have have low road
noise(very comparable to the MXM) but they are also designed for
Electric vehicles so they have a sidewall to limit noise transmission
through the tire and a low rolling resistance. They were a little hard
to find when I was shopping, I ended up ordering from a place out of
Florida but so far I have been happy with the performance and they are
rated as a 60,000 mile tire and I know I won't get that on an EV but I
wanted to get something that might do me better than the 30k on the
Primacys and these were less than half the price of the Michelins.

I always try to get Michelin, they are always round, well balanced,
and get good mileage.

Thanks, Robert and Gary!
If anyone else wants to share their experiences, I’d love to hear
them.

I've always gotten Michelin. They have several models with good
mileage performance, without even picking the one they say is the
most efficient.

It's time to replace the tires on my 2016 Volt. I would really
like to hear from the group what your thoughts are on the best
tires to achieve a good blend of comfort/quietness/traction/low
rolling resistance.
I realize that there are trade-offs among those different traits,
so no one tire can do it all. If forced to choose among those
traits, I probably value a smooth and quiet ride the most.
I'm just curious what your experience has been and what tires
you've liked and didn't like on your EV. Also, don't worry about
price. I don't usually skimp on tires :-)
Thanks!
