LONG TERM REVIEW: DID OUR NOKIAN REMEDY WRG5 ALL-WEATHER TIRES HANDLE THE HEAT?

EV Channels Review

This long-term review of the Nokian Remedy WRG5 all-weather tires on a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV highlights their impressive performance across various conditions. After six months and approximately 4,000-5,000 miles, the tires exhibit minimal wear, with the front tires showing slightly more wear due to the car's FWD nature, as expected. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the tires' grip and handling in warm weather, noting minimal sidewall roll and a planted feel, even during spirited driving on country roads. They also commend the tires' ability to handle the Bolt's EV torque, reducing torque steering compared to previous tire sets. While rain performance is not extensively tested, the deep channeling for water movement is noted. The tires are acknowledged as a premium product with a higher price point, but the reviewer suggests few alternatives offer comparable all-weather capability. The reviewer has not yet tested ice performance but plans to in the coming winter months. Road noise is considered reasonably quiet, even on rougher surfaces, making for a pleasant cabin experience.
