To: Tell It Right

24k miles? If I don’t get 80000 km’s on my tires, I don’t buy them again. That’s on a one ton diesel pulling trailers and lots of gravel. I weigh 10,000 lbs with no load.

I guess I should have pointed out that I’m used to getting about 25K miles on tires in my 6-cyl ICE pickup (which weighs a hair more than our EV crossover) and the tires costing $150 each. Since EV’s are supposed to be a lot worse for tires, in my math for whether or not to get an EV for my wife I had budgeted for replacing tires every 12K miles. Thus, tire expense on the EV is one of the things that’s better than I anticipated. (To be fair, there are some one-time expenses for an EV I didn’t anticipate, such as buying a J1772 extension cord for if we stay at a hotel with a Level II charger and another car is blocking the charger.)
