OEM tires 43-45 when heat was not needed.

The problem I have with the OEM tires is if you bump or hit a curb you can bust a side wall. If you are careful you can avoid this issue. My wife drives the car 98% of the time. She caught a curb and had a flat tire close to time they needed replaced anyway. So I changed to a better tire for safety the volt does not have a spare tire. We get about a 10% hit on EV mileage for replacing the tires. Michelin made the tires for the Gen2 volt I bet those tires are better. They changed the tire size from the Gen1 volt.
