    Winter Tires

    I just took delivery of my '24 Cooper SE and I'm shopping for winter tires. We live in MN and it gets super cold in the winter (usually - this year not so much). Today it's 10 deg F and the summer tires are not great. Looking at reviews online I'm down to either the Blizzaks or the Michelin...

    Tires, Tires, Tires - "Tuned?"

    Well, I am starting to think about replacement tires and rather than belabor the decision, I am tempted to just get the original OEM tires which have served me well. I know there are a lot of opinions about tires but I want to ask about something odd I found when looking at these tires on...

    Selling summer tires

    I picked up my SE last week. Summer tires in Chicago won’t do it! With the likely loss of $7500 in US tax credit and iffy Illinois rebate program, the car is breaking my budget. I stewed about it for a while, and decided no winter tires & wheels for me. I’m putting on some Continental...

    Which winter tires in Europe?

    Hi, I am planning to buy some winter tires for my 2022 Kona EV. Which winter tires would you recommend so that the range is not impacted too much? I was looking at Pirelli WinterSottozero 3 which seem to be a typical EV owners' choice. I might go for those but as they are a bit on the pricey...

    Snow tires on AWD?

    I used to run snow tires on my Outback AWD and don't see why the ID.4 would be any different (assuming of course you live in the North). Probably not a lot of experience yet with this - but has anyone decided on snow tires and if so which?

    Video - Tires for Electric Vehicles

    If your electric vehicle is a couple of years old you may need new tires. What tires should you put on your EV? Are there tires made for EVs? How will it affect the range of your EV? In this video (and in the description of the video) I give you the information that I found, let you know which...

    Cabin noise / tires

    Hi All, New to the forum and to the Kona. Test drove one today and it was a bit noisy on the highway. It sounded (subjectively) like about 50-50 for road and wind noise. While you can't do much about wind noise, tires play a large role in road noise. When I looked at the tires after the test...

    What winter tires and rims do you use in the colder months?

    Hi, I will hopefully be getting my Kona in December, being my first EV, which will mean winter driving! What winter tires and rims did you get for your Kona? I am aware that using non-oem rims will likely increase aero drag, but can't justify the expense for a couple more kms of range (I will...

    Nah.. my dealer won’t forget... yeah right

    Drove about 125 miles in overinflated tires. Was going to check at delivery but forgot. Then wanted to do it when the tires were cold. Finally did it this morning. All four tires set to 50psi

    What's Behind The Wheel? {with scratch-n-sniff photos}

    Okay, no scratch and sniff, but YES on the photos. So, last night, I went to Discount Tire to get my Michelin X-ice snow tires installed along with new rims to make life easier for me. When the wheels were off, I snuck in there to get some photos. Even the installer was impressed with what he...
