Nissan Leaf parts reviews

I went with the Toyo Extensa HP II because it was a good compromise on price/efficiency/grip/noise. My biggest complaint with the OEM tires was that they hydroplaned worse than any tire I’ve had on a car since the 80s and these Toyos are much better. Range is down, maybe, 2-5%, maybe more on longer drives at speed, but EVERYTHING else about these tires is leagues better…ride, handling, noise, braking…everything.

Michelin defenders. Original equipment on my 2013 Leaf. They have .800" of tread when new. Not like all the other tires that have only .400" of tread new. I have 82K miles on the with 20% of the tread left now. Getting 4.1 miles per KW. You can't beat these tires...

I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.

I just ordered the energizer lithium fob battery, will see if it lasts longer than the regular energizer which in my case was 3 years

I keep my tires around 40 psi and from what I remember the TPMS doesn't send an alert until the pressure is around 25 psi, it is mainly a second layer warning since you should be checking the tire pressure at least once a month.

I have been a fan of the Fram Freshbreeze or Pureflow filters. Not as good as the Bosch HEPA for other cars, but seem pretty good at least for filtering allergens and some particulates.

I work at a body shop and I use TYC when I can. They are the best aftermarket HL supplier.

trico 18-160 and 18-260 have worked well on my 2015, it is a beam blade and haven't noticed too much interference with the washer even though not side mount.

I have a 2015 Nissan LEAF SV. In -25C or colder (and to be fair, it's rarely -25C (not counting the windchill) during the day), with moderate heat on (set heat to 19C or less) plus heated steering wheel and heated seats (both of which use relatively very little power), I can lose a good 60% of my range

Skip the Bridgestone Ecopias. Life span on a LEAF is 20-30k miles. Terrible grip too.
