Re: [EVDL] Leaf tires. Michelin or OEM

Michelin Energy Saver A/S has bad reviews. I am going with  the Ecopia 422 plus which I know works. They were original equipment on my leaf and have 65k miles on them. Tires rotated regularly. 40psi More concerned with efficiency than tread life as we are gentle on tires. Lawrence Rhodes

Yes, at 44k the OEM tires were definitely due for a replacement. The PLUS version of the Ecopia are supposed to last a lot longer than the OEM (non-plus) versions. [The rubber is harder or somethingthe cost was very close to the same, so I went with the plus versions...] Only time/miles

I got barely 20k off Ecopia. In fairness, I rotated a little late, and figured a brand-new car shouldn’t need an alignment. Still… Michelin Energia fared a little better. Sincerely, Bob Bath Note: any misspellings of the contents of this message are due to 56 y.o. vision, hyperactive spell

I replaced the stock Ecopia's (non-plus from Nissan) at 44k miles on my Leaf with Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 PLUS (which are supposed to have a longer life) but so far I've only put another 8K on the tires, so I can't say if they are any better than the stock ones... Jay On 9/20/21 7:39 PM,
