About two weeks ago I needed to get some new front tires, as they were getting pretty worn, made the mistake of missing a few rotations. The back still looked good, but I was having a hard time finding the same style tires that were currently in my car (had a limited time frame to get them done).
So I replaced all four tires with what is probably a lesser quality, and the first thing I noticed was a reduction in distance per charge. At first, I thought it might have been something with my replacement EV charger (maybe it was not setup correctly?, but I verified the settings).
Next, I wondered if it was because I was driving to a different location for the week. Roughly still the same distance, just a different location. I drive about 40 miles each way (80 total) a day. With the old tires, I would come home with between 48-56 miles left on the car, which I know is just a rough number.
But last week I was arriving home with 35 miles, I shook it off and decided to wait till this week, where I will be driving to my main work site. Today I arrived home with 36 miles, so I think I will have to go with the tires being the reason for the decrease in distance.
