Tires Toyo or Nokia

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

Mine are at ~28 to 30psi on 205/40/16 Toyo Proxes4 16x9 RH wheels

Tires - I almost forgot! The Toyo tires were fine. Like any street tire, they got a bit greasy near the end of a 20 minute track session. Otherwise, no issues.

If you want the best of both worlds, get Toyo T1R's. They are an all around amazing tire. They stretch great and perform well in wet and dry conditions. My car has never felt more \"sure footed\" than when i had 195-45 T1R's on my 15x8's.

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.

The Nexens don't stretch worth a damn, the federals aren't much better. If you want the stretch and need it to work the Toyo T1-R is your best bet.

I absolutely love my T1R's they stretch very well. here they are on a 9.5 and an 8.5"

I'm fixing to put the 5th pair of tires on the rear......and the fronts aren't going to be too far behind. The car has only 32,000 miles on it. Toyo's. They are wearing flat, no cupping, but wearing fast.
