Bridgestone Turenza EV tires Don't do it !!

[Juiceball]

I recently purchased Bridgestone turenza ev tires from costco. Don't do it !!!
My range has gone down over 10 percent and the ride is harsh, to say the least.

What pressure are they at?

10% range loss from tires seems improbable. In most cases it will be less than 5% difference.

If you replaced your tires with the EXACT SAME tires you’d likely see similar range loss. New tires have higher rolling resistance than worn ones.

I also bought those tires from Costco!

Moving from the GTPE Pirelli Summer Tires I did not perceive a range loss. Additionally, the ride is quieter and more comfortable.

No complaints from me ?

I lost about 10% on my LEAF after I replaced my worn tires with some $50 no name tires.

Really. I have had the exact opposite. Harsh,higher noise level and over a 10 percent loss in range. What tire pressure are you using ?

I set them to the factory recommended pressure, 39PSI cold.

That being said, I just checked and they're all down to 35/36. I haven't checked them since I topped them off in spring. I wonder what the threshold is before TPMS says they're low.

I always ran the factory tires at 35. Costco set them +2.
I have since lowered them to 36. I might try lower to smooth out the ride.

I've got them on my 2023 i4eDrive40. They're OK but don't think they'll be very durable.

Two months ago I replaced the two rear OEM tires with the Turenza EV tires. They have performed admirably. No noise increase. No distance loss. One rear OEM tire was punctured by a construction screw and the patch began leaking. Because the tires had 20k miles, upon investigation regarding AWD with one front and one back motor, I decided to replace both tires so the tread thickness was the same. Might not have been strictly necessary, but I wanted to be safer.

I plan to drive from CO to SF Bay Area late September which will provide a long trip performance evaluation.

Between 20%-25% below the recommended pressure (39psi), you will get a low tire pressure warning. That will be between 30-32 psi and below. For those who run larger tires or ones with a higher load rating that can run at a much lower pressure, this threshold can easily be changed in FORScan so that the low pressure warning won't constantly get triggered.
