NEW ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE ALL-SEASON TIRE IS PERFECT FOR EV DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS

EV Channels Review

The Nokian Surpass AS01 is presented as a compelling new ultra-high-performance all-season tire tailored for EV enthusiasts. The reviewer highlights Nokian's strong heritage in winter tires and notes that this new offering bridges the gap into the performance all-season category, a segment where Nokian previously lacked a strong contender. Key advantages include its ability to handle high torque and lateral demands of performance EVs, excellent wet grip due to advanced siping, and impressive pothole protection with included air-mid fibers and a free replacement warranty. The tire also boasts a substantial 55,000-mile tread life warranty, significantly higher than typical performance tires. While not an extreme track tire, it offers a wide window of operation, performing well in warm temperatures and even handling occasional cold snaps without significant performance degradation. The reviewer praises its quiet operation and minimal impact on efficiency, citing real-world data. The primary drawback identified is the current lack of availability in certain OE sizes, such as for the Model 3 Performance, though expansion is anticipated. Overall, it's recommended as an excellent one-set solution for daily driving, spirited canyon runs, and occasional track use for the performance-oriented EV driver.
