I will have soon the 2022 facelift model (2023 in US) with those funky aerowheels and i am thinking that how big winter tires i could buy. 59kwh has only 135 mm round clearance so i want couple cm more and skinnier wheels. I dont care what TUV says because i will inspect my car with summer tires.
Greetings from Finland I was thinking for winter tires 205/65R17 instead of normal 215/50R17.
- benefits 26,5 mm more round clearance ( 161,5 mm which is more than enough for snowy forrest cabin roads)
- more accurate speedometer and 13 km/h more top speed
- bigger sidewall with narrower tire means better fuel economy
Do you have experience about such big tires (diameterically) with nissan leaf secon gen? If thats too big i will consider 205/65R16 which is only 13 mm taller and gives 148 mm round clearance.
