What does anyone think about the Michelin "Exalta AS" tire. Low rolling resistance they say and they had better be at $96 ea in 205-60-15.

I am not a great believer in low rolling resistance tyres or the use of high pressure tyres on ev's. Unless you are running on perfectly smooth flat roads of which we have few, any advantage is cancelled out by the bumps and friction caused by the roads. It is also more harmful to the suspension and gives a poorer ride for the occupants. Alan Ward has found the same thing and has written an account to this effect in Plugged In.
