I believe these are the second set of “summer/all season” tires for this car. I think we got them the spring before we embarked on our 14,000km summer 2022 #evcrosscanada road trip. That was about 160,000km ago by the odometer, but we alternate summer/winter, so probably about half that. Let’s say 75,000km for these tires.
They are Nokian all seasons. Not sure what I will replace them with next spring. We’ll see!

done!
I had them swap the rims onto the winter tires so that we could potentially put sensors on the other rims or maybe sell those rims and just keep one set. We'll see in the spring.
The tread is definitely better
lol
edit: oh yeah, and I have a appointment for wheel alignment tomorrow.. #evcrosscanada #tires #cars #maintenance

A hive of activity around here! A few seconds ago a full logging truck left and now there is an empty logging truck in its place. Every bay is full. Everyone running full bore!
Pearson Tire/Kal Tire in Port Alberni.
Been getting my tires here for 20 years! Great people. And free tire changes!
Edit: just to emphasize the point… a full Kal Tire delivery truck just pulled up on the main street beside and is now sitting there in the left turn lane waiting for the logging truck to be done so it can pull in. Crew now working double fast lol.
Winter tire season definitely on!
