Both are the same size, Bolt EUV has higher load rating and lower traction/temperature ratings.

What's the Nissan weigh ?

 

[gillmj24]

Probably quite a bit less especially the 40kWh battery (the plus have 62kWh).

I was a little surprised to have B rated tires that's all. I didn't look that closely back in august, the one opportunity we had to see one in a showroom, I just saw they were what I thought were the same Michelin X Energy Savers.

It's not really a big deal.

Here is part of what TireRack says about the Traction Grade. Basically, with anti lock brakes, the Traction Grade isn't as relevant anymore.

And here is part of what they say about the Temperature Grade. The Bolt only goes to 92, so a B Grade is more than adequate.

I suspect the rating lower due to the self sealing nature of the tire.

 

[gillmj24]

Bolt has run-flats??

 

[GJETSON]

Bolt has run-flats??

No. Self-sealing, which is totally different tech.

 

[jefro]

No, not run flats. They have a sealant.

Poor ratings due to trade off of LRR.

 

[gillmj24]

If it weren't right next to a leaf with the same size (but different load rating) LRR tire you might have a better point.
