We live in the Northeast and wish to have great snow and ice traction without too much of a mileage penalty with softer compound tires. Has anyone had exceptional success with Winter specific tires for the Niro EV?

thanks, Eric
 
Eric the biggest hit EVs get to consumption in winter is the temperature itself and precipitation. I found the difference between a dedicated snow tire and a low resistance tire is really only around 5% or less, maybe. If you get a lot of snow just get a good quality snow tire. I used Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 on my Kona EV last winter and they were great. In central Canada we have snow/ice on the roads probably for at least 5 months of the year, so not really much of option not to have dedicated snow boots for the car.

Upon checking reviews and deals purchased GoodYear WinterCommand tires. Hoping to get by without the studs in Northern New England.
