We ditched the OEM Bridgestone Dueler HT 684II which is the worst tire on the road today with some Michelin Energy LX4s at around 50k, and that made a hige difference in sound, handling, and ride comfort.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I have these on my Jetta right now and my god I freaking love them! So much better than those crappy Bridgestones EL-400 that came with the car.
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.
17" of snow We just received an official 17.1" of snow so here is how my 01mv did with a set of Nokian Haks: At the end of the storm I tried to drive uphill to my house on an unplowed residential street. Made it most of the way before getting stuck - the front bumper was pushing snow.
To the person who said Pilot Exaltos, they are all seasons and in my experience are pretty decent in 3-6 inches of snow. I love Exaltos and they are worth every penny IMO.
Ditto on the Nokians from me as well. On my 2nd set after 50K miles and find my speed control chimes going off regularly now (set at 96 MPH) because the ride is just so smooth.
Ditto on the Nokians. On three Touaregs, I've had Dunlops, Pirellis, Falkens, Hankooks and am on my second set of Nokians. It's night and day.
I can attest to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. They are freekin excellent: grippy, grippy and predictable in the rain, really quiet, ride nice, and the treadwear warranty can't be beat.
Summer tires are great in the rain. Michelin Pilot PS2's, Dunlop Sport Maxx's, Goodyear Eagles, Pirelli P-Zeros... any of those are going to be outstanding at high speed wet weather driving.
