Wife had a ecobox with 155 tires that went through 3 sets of tires in 30000km. Changed to more grippy 175 tires and they were fine after 30000km when we sold the car.

Our E is halfway through the tires (5-6mm left) after about 6000km. Will change to less grippy, better rolling tires when worn out. Hope to achieve more fun and better range. I got 70.000kms on a set of Goodyear's I was very satisfied with on my Civic.
There aren't many Es with changed tires so not much tire performance experience... ;)

I haven’t done many miles yet. Weight is the issue with the e (any BEV really). I had a Brabus Roadster Coupe that did almost 100k miles in 8 years. Never changed the fronts. Weighed 850kg.
But I wouldn’t scrimp on tyres. So will probably replace with the Michelin’s. I’m more interested in grip than range 😊

Nice one Milli. I sold the Brabus
With hindsight, maybe a mistake
