From a drive to work yesterday at about 24 deg F on Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tires = 2.9 mi/kwh. The Blizzaks are very grippy. Next time I need new tires, im going to try the Nokian hakkapeliitta r5. I think I read somewhere they have a better efficiency.

I'm on my second set of Kumho all season, I don't think I'm missing out not spending the extra on Michelins. The Kumho have been awesome in the recent weather bomb.

I got the new Bridgestones from Tirerack, I really like them.

It all depends on tyres you're using. I'm plowing through all that snow on my all season mid tier kumho Solus with no problems in my caddy van

I bought 4 new Bridgestone Turanzas the next day and it was like driving a completely different car.

I have a set of Kumho all weather tires on the Ranger. They're better than the all seasons in the cold and rain, but they're not better in snow than the 10 year old 2/3rds worn out snow tires they replaced, and I ended up buying chains for them too.

I've used Nokians for years but tried Blizzak WS-90s this time around because they were a fair bit less expensive. They seem fine but seem to have noticeably more rolling resistance than the Nokian, and I notice it's easier to spin them starting up on dry pavement in cold weather than I'd experienced with Nokian in the past. I'll be switching back to whatever Hakkapeliitta is current once these are worn out.

I had a nail in my tire with a very slow leak and went to a random tire shop. They did a crappy plug that was not designed for the Elite's self healing tires so I ended up with a very FAST leak instead.

I swapped to 19x8.5 Atomic AW21 wheels (21.3 lbs) with Bridgestone Blizzak 6 XL 235/55R19 tires. So it is a more narrow tire. After noticing my battery percentage dropping surprisingly fast on short trips, I put on the energy app some today and see I'm now using nearly 500 Wh/mi on that same day to day driving. I expected snow tires to have worse rolling resistance, but this seems like a lot. 50% more energy usage equates to a 33% reduction in range. Does that seem normal or excessive?
