These tires are living up to my hopes, rather than my usual expectations! They truly are wonderful tires! These are the first replacement tires for my 2020 Chevy Bolt EV. I have never been happy with the stock Michelin tires, performance under normal wet conditions was marginal, and while dry condition performance was good, snow presented an entirely different scenario. I could barely get out of my own driveway, IF at all, and was never comfortable out there on snowy roads. Came down to it, if roads were snow/slush covered at all, the Bolt stayed home - the Subaru reigned! Have had my Nokian WGR5's since just after Thanksgiving, and in the last week, finally had a good snowfall in my area, where the roads were snow-covered. I had to see if these tires delivered. My Bolt walked right up and out of my driveway with absolutely no problem! And on the roadway, felt confident for the very first time that I could make the Bolt work out there! These are truly all-weather tires! I couldn't be happier! And not only great on snow, but dry handling is terrific, and while not having driven much on wet roads yet, have high hopes. There seems to be a little noticeable increase in road noise over the stock tires, but any trade-off there is more than worh it! And with their 60K rating, am looking forward to getting significantly more road-time with these than my originals, replaced at 33K. I'm looking forward to summer conditions to see if these EV rated tires hold up to my prior mileage per Kwh experienced with stock tires. Time will tell. Thanks to Simpletire for a flawless transaction, by the way! I always support local business, whenever possible, but my tire place, being family owned with only 4 locations in the region, were unable to source the WGR5 tires themselves. Went to Simpletire, and through an online chat, set up the purchase on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, with delivery being specified directly to my local installer. On Thanksgiving, went online and right to the invoice link provided by Simpletire (one day delay in payment was my option, due to a 5X rewards points program beginning on Thanksgiving), paid and was properly confirmed. By that next Monday, over a weekend to boot, tires were at my installers, and installed the next day, not even a week later from original inquiry. Kudos to Simpletire for a great experience! While the chat was somewhat slow, everything fell into place the way it needed to, and no complaints. I now have a GREAT set of tires! I've been driving over 50 years, in lots of different conditions and vehicles, rear drive, front drive, and all wheel drive. I've always actually enjoyed driving in snow! But I never felt comfortable in the Bolt in snow, even though front wheel drive...until NOW! Thank you, Nokian, for a superb tire! I highly recommend WGR5 Remedy tires to my family, and to everyone that really wants an all-weather, NOT all-season, option that truly delivers!
