As for the tires, the OEM tires are Michelin EnergySaver AS w/SelfSeal. If something else is in place, it can reduce the range by 5 to 10%.
Chevrolet Bolt parts reviews
I went for General Altimax RT45 year round on our Bolt. The price was right, they have good longevity and did well in Tire Rack's tests. Slight dip in range to the tune of ~5-10 miles. Just good all-arounders at nice price. They outdid the Defender 2 in Tire Rack's tests.
We just put the CONTINENTAL - TrueContact Tour 54 on our car (22 bolt euv) and we haven't noticed any loss of range and they've been great so far.
I got Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires; so far so good, they seem reasonably quiet, don’t affect efficiency, and are cheaper than OEM.
I like my cc2s for traction in general. Although I have done some stupid shit on the snow with those tires.
Uniroyal tiger paw. Barely hit m/kwh, nice grip.
Continental truecontact tour. There's a newer version but as I understand it it's essentially the same tire. Much better handling in the rain. They were slightly noisy at first but I don't notice it anymore, that was probably just from the breakin period.
I swapped wheels for 16's and I think my fuel efficiency overall is about the same as before. City fuel economy may be slightly better because of lower wheel weight, highway economy slightly worse due to drag from less aero rims. But I'm not sure if there's really any difference.
I just had my worn out Continental PureContact LSs ( great tire while they lasted ) replaced with a set of Sailun ERange. It felt life I was driving granddad's Buick on the way home.
Chevy Bolt, almost caught fire they bought it off me
I thought about Rain-X but, that thing smells bad. It makes me think that my lungs are going to suffer. Applying it is a pain… especially the bolt windshield.
