RedLeader, what tires and wheels did you put on? I have (at 18k) already scrubbed off the sides of the tread... Looking for a tire that has a decent amount of grip, unlike my previous car (an RX8) this car's tires are pitiful and the body lean is ridiculous.

I have Michelin Primacy MXV4 (215/45-17) on MB Motoring Weapn 17x7 wheels. This combo is good and improves the handling and feel of the Leaf, seem to have a minimal impact on range. If I were to do it again I think I would like something w/ a bit more grip and accept the further reduction in range. I think if the Leaf ran on some 18" 35 series tires it still wouldn't have any more of an improvement than what I'm running now. The wheel/tire package won't keep it from leaning and wallowing around the way it does. It's the suspension that needs to be addressed.
