At tirerack.com if you select an individual product you will see a link to “specs”. The OEM Goodyears have a tread width of 6.9” and weigh 19 pounds. You can do comparisons on that data. Wider and heavier affect range and fuel mileage. I am running Michelin Primacy MXV 4’s in 93V , Weighs 22 lbs. tread width 7.3 The same tire in a 94V weighs 26lbs with Tread width 7.6, As an example.
Tire Replacement options?
So I popped a tire on Friday on my ‘15 Volt, and ended up replacing all 4 tires (36k miles 5/32) and was opting for these Road Hugger GT Eco as the salesman recommended me personally as a Electric car owner.
Unfortunately they didn’t have enough in stock and threw on some Goodyear Assurance Touring tires ($25 more per tire) I guess considered an upgrade?
I have yet to try out the full range to see how much I’ve lost, but figured I’d ask..what are other owners throwing on to maintain range. If I notice a big difference I may just opt to come back and get the original set I purchased.
