I'm trying to decide on all weather tires to put on my 2014 leaf S... 16 inch wheels.
Note I am not considering all season tires.
On my Teslas I get separate winter tires with rims as for a Tesla I typically drive over 12k miles per year so they are limited by miles not age.
However for our leaf these days we typically just drive it 5k miles per year since moving to Colorado so I'm looking to replace our oem all season tires with all weather tires (using two sets of tires is less economic when not driving far due to the tires aging out).
I was intending to go nokian wr g3 tires given the reviews in general are good. However a few things are making me rethink.
* Nokian released wr g4 tires so I expect these to be better.
* The wr g4s now have optional run flat. I like the idea of run flats but don't like the idea of a rough ride. Does anyone know how well run flats go on the leaf?
* Michelin has released crossclimate+... Apparently only in 3 sizes but this includes the standard leaf size. Consumer reports ranks these above the nokians https://www.consumerreports.org/tires/new-tire-ratings-reveal-top-tires/
They are available at tirerack who calls them all season and says they are good for light snow. Shrug. I suspect tirerack just doesn't recognize all weather tires
Any opinions on what to get? I would naturally get the nokians wr g4 without run flat but the consumer reports may tilt me to Michelin if I can trust it.
