Tires FEDERAL or Nokia

Federal 595 are great for the price. $80 for some super sticky stuff

I paid $220 for 4 almost-brand-new Nokian WRG2 a month ago, installed. They were at about 90% remaining still. I'd rather get slightly-used good tires than brand-new pieces of sh*t. 100% happy with them so far.

I bought myself a set of Nokian Hakkapellita R's and it makes a world of difference on snow and ice.

Try, Federal RS-R. It should be equal to XS in performance but cheaper. I have the 195/50/15 on Miata and I think it is better than my previous Falken Azenis.

The wheels look absolutely great and they drive great, the driving feel with such a light wheel is amazing. One of the wheels wasn’t perfectly round and had a small hop to it... I put 1500 miles on them and the vibration never bugged me, even on a road trip to Chicago.

Got my tires yesterday and went and got them mounted this morning. Liking them so far, hardly any stretch. I'll have my coilovers in a couple weeks then to see how they are on the car. 165/55/14 Federals on 14x6 wheels

I learned my lesson with the 165/45 15 federals... and will tell anyone here that can still find these to stack up while they are cheap/can find them.

I ended up going onto the Nokian website and searched around for the right snow tires for an EV. They actually have them. They have them up to a 99 load rating which is much better than the 95s I had. Made a huge difference in handling...

I too was running Nokian Haks and it was almost uncanny how good the traction was not just in deep fresh but on compacted snow and ice. The EV is a very heavy vehicle and having 2/3 the weight (depending on cargo) over the drive wheels makes a very stable setup.

these tires ride like ****. obviously. and your roads are no worse than anyone elses.
