I see many folk's post about how crummy the ecopias are. I'm curious what a person is looking for when dissatisfied with a tire. I know in high horsepower/torque applications, tires are a big issue. Trying to tame over 500hp in my gas powered toy. I get much better performance with bfg drag radials, over the street nitto tires. That is solely a traction issue. Obviously, I'm not too concerned with ride quality as driving it seems like impending doom, over the tranquility of driving my Leaf.
In my Leaf, it leaves me to wonder. How the ecopias are so inferior? I have driven my Leaf in, cold, hot, wet and have not observed any real issues in traction. I can't say I'm dissatisfied with the ride quality. I have over 10k miles on them and they seem to wear much better than the stock yokos on my Prius did. There's no argument that Michelins are a superior tire to most on the market. Bridgestone makes a great tire in their wide selection of models. There are many fantastic tires out there.
Is it brand loyalty, that makes a person think a tire is better than another? Any feedback from people who changed would be great to hear. Also, curious what other tires people are using.
