I'm still averaging 4.2-4.6 M/KWH with my Goodyear Eagle L/S tires. They aren't labeled LRR but they do the job if inflated to 40psi.

It has Ecopia Tires!! Apparently BMW don't think they suck.
I have had much better luck with my second set of Ecopias now that I am running then at just over 40psi. Makes a big difference to wear near the tire edge. I'm almost at the same mileage on this set and don't feel the urge to replace them as I did with the last set at this mileage.

The obviously do not stand up to any abuse but I will stay with them and the 89 rather than the 91. Leafs are harder on the left front tires due to torque so eventually on a rotate you need to move the rights to the left side. If you are going to beat them....get something else. I use factory air settings... Nice even wear...
LeftieBiker said:My car came with those. The efficiency was very good, and they never failed in the 5k miles I drove on them, but the handling was Mushy. I didn't quite realize how bad it was until I put the Pirelli Carving Edge snow tires on last Fall, and the car started to handle like a sports car. I'll happily sell you mine if you can find a good shipping price. I have them up locally on Ebay for $375.

Thanks. I thought I had read the 91 version was a newer tire and thus perhaps better due to the weight of the Leaf.

This. I am about to replace my OEM tires at 22,300 miles (with more Ecopias since LRR and EV range are of greatest importance to me and the snow handling is pretty good, for non snow tires). Driving steep mountain hairpin turns and dirt/gravel roads wears out tires quickly.EVDRIVER said:Some people live in very hilly areas which really wears tires fast no matter how hard you drive.downeykp said:I am not sure what you all are talking about.
