Funny, looks like you guys had more snow than us in Sammamish. Normally we have more snow.sproqitman said:Well, Snowpocalypse 2011 hit Bellevue yesterday, with about 2.5 inches of wet snow.

Anybody with a Leaf that will take an educated guess at it? :?:
With the right wheels those will fit fine. Definitely won't fit on the stock 16" wheels. Slightly larger in diameter than the stock tires, your speedo will read low by about 4%. Kind of wide for snow tires on the LEAF - most people tend to fit narrower snow tires so they "bite" better. But if you have them already and plan on getting a set of snow wheels anyway....NOVA said:Any idea if 17 in. snow tires will fit on a Leaf? I have a set of Blizzak 225/50/17 in. tires and rims for my trade in. It would be great if I could use these on my Leaf.

Wow, this looks like a pretty good product. Only catch being it wears out quickly on dry pavement, but then again it's easy enough to put on and take off that it should be an issue.kennyboy said:I bought some of these last year for my ICE car:

I haven't had to use them yet.
Amazon had the best price.
I haven't checked yet to compare my ICE car tire size with those on the Leaf to see if I need to order a new set.
Just posting another option though, that appears to work well and is easier to install than chains.
It appears that these are approved for semis here in Colorado. Snow tires or chains aren't usually required for passenger cars here, it is generally left up to the judgment of the driver unless conditions are very poor.DarkStar said:Wow, this looks like a pretty good product.

Checking the stock Leaf tire size, the correct one should be the X30 size: http://amzn.to/tXOxqm
Note that it does appear that this can't be legally considered a "traction device" in California or Washington, however that only applies if a road is closed or requires traction devices. In Oregon these would be considered "traction devices" since they mount externally of the tire in order to provide additional traction.
