Tire Upgrade and Center Cap Change

[batchelor22]

Nothing dramatic, changed out the factory tires for Toyo AT3 EV tires, 275/70/18 and put on some new center caps. Like the look, will see about the tire performance and longevity.,

Can’t wait to hear how these EVs work out for you. Planning on making the same move end of summer.

What was your MPG before the swap and mind keeping us in the loop as to the delta?

Also some mention a pretty good hum about 50mpg… What’s your take?

Will post some updates here, just installed them today, so no impressions yet but have a 500km drive on Tuesday, so will have more to share then. Was getting 12.2l/100km on my winter set.

I have these exact same tires and like them so far. Yes, a bit more noisy than OEM at higher speed, but not too bad for me.
Last trip was at 10.5 L/100km or 22mpg if I stay at 108-110 km/h or about 67-68mph.
As soon as I was going faster, fuel consumption was taking a hit. So it's my new cruising speed now.

Thanks, good to know, my usual highway speed is around 110km/h so hope to get the same result. A bit tougher in BC as there are a lot of hills and mountain passes.

Do you happen to know the center cap part number?
