These are the first snow tires I have bought. I only had them on for the last 2 months of a Chicago winter that was drier than predicted. My Chevy Bolt is a pretty sporty car for an EV. And these tires did really well handling the quick torque of this car in the dry, wet, and few bouts of light snow the encountered. I am excited to put them back on for an entire winter.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Chevrolet Bolt EV drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I bought these last summer for my Chevy Bolt. They are fun to drive in both dry and wet conditions. They are quiet. And handle and brake well in the rain. I replaced them for the winter, so I can't speak to their winter/snow performance. I like them very much. And while I haven't measured mi/kWh, I do feel that they are very efficient.
The WeatherReady2 tires have been terrific for my use case in the Pacific Northwest. These tires are fantastic on wet roads with loads of rainy day grip. They also are quite capable on snowy roads heading up to ski resorts. They’re comfortable over rough pavement, concrete seams, and metal plates. Their shortcoming though is in fuel economy. I’d say they’re a good 10% or more range loss on an EV vs. an eco tire and maybe 5% worse than other all-weather tires.
