yeh agree and I swapped front to rear as the rears wearing faster around 28,000km's. Now at 48,500 they are all worn pretty evenly and close to wear indicators.

For the few times we get rain here, I would agree, not a lot of grip in the wet from the original bridgestones but being rear wheel drive was very controllable. What I found more scary was the OPD in the wet when going around a curved freeway offramp and crossing the metal expansion strip's on...

Yeh I was pretty happy with the mileage on the originals. I am not light on the pedal, do mostly home to city driving at 60km a day and a mix of highway, gravel road when taking my mountain bike out on weekends (so some added weight on the back). Did that 48,500 km in just on 26 months and...

Thanks for the Ted talk, lots of great info and would agree with the overpriced T005 and their lack of wet grip. Albeit as you know on the west coast more dry and hot vs wet. Bridgestone said the 48,500kms on the originals was a good run and I am not a light footed driver.... true that soft and...

For the same Bridgestones I have been quoted $415 per tyre. An equiv maxxis EV tyre is around $350...

Think of it a slightly different way. Range isn't a deal breaker until you need a bit more range 😉. Also think of the potential attraction that ER "may" have to prospective buyers at resale time, when one of the items on a new EV owners mind is range anxiety.
