I bought a plug kit. I don’t trust that self sealing stuff. Especially when you don’t get a spare. Definitely won’t be replacing with OE tires when they are worn out.
Yeah. I have patches and plugs in my trunk for the same reason. I got it used, and the dealer put 2x nexen ah5 tires on the rear before I bought it, been driving around on them for about 10k miles now, so I found another two online for $90each.

I got a pinch flat in the sidewall against a stub curb in the dark, and replaced it. Most expensive tire I’ve ever bought. Definitely need to find something else when these wear out.
They work too. Had a front tire go down to 25psi. Aired it up at home and now its stayed at 38

Listen here you r/bolt owners. I don’t wanna hear y’all complaining bout some tires. Respectfully r/BMWi3 owner
Yeah. That’s one reason I sold my i3 and bought a Bolt

They definitely aren’t trash tires. I’ve driven on real junk tires before. These do indeed drive nicely, but They’re just expensive.

Are they? Uniroyal used to put that stuff in their cheap tires. The Bolt tires are probably expensive because they are less common than off the shelf ones.

I drive my 2017 over 45k miles a year and have to change my tires at least every year and a half. I always get the self seal tires. I’ve gone to Costco for rotation or if I get a low pressure on a specific tire and the techs come back and tell me “oh did you know you had a screw/nail on this other tire”. I never don’t recall getting low psi ready either. I found another thread about different, cheaper tires that won’t affect your range but kinda scared to try something new. I drive a lot of miles but not too much heavy Cali traffic, so my speed is usually 45-80 depending on the time of day.
Ah, you have seen it firsthand now

3 of my 4 original tires were destroyed in the first 6 months of owning the car. I’ve been using 3 different tires since then and have put probably 10k miles on them without an issue.
Glad they’re without issue. I was stressed out that my front 2 were different from my rear two (I personally dont like running different compounds front and rear. One time we brought the wrong spares for our race car, and after spinning our car a couple times on the track that was enough for me.). Granted we aren’t racing these bolts so I’m sure it’s a non issue.

Hahah. Admittedly I used to race road bikes (bicycles, where contact patch is limited so you really gotta choose wisely) first at a pro level before I got into automotive, but I just do that for fun. The adrenaline you get from racing is really something else.
Also, all OEM tires cost a lot. It’s just what they do.
It comes with Nutella on the inside
I once unscrewed an embedded screw that was causing a slow leak from mine, fully expecting to need to plug or replace it, but it miraculously self-sealed and never leaked after that. I’ve regrettably had to replace the tires with crossclimate 2s, though, given the poor traction of those OEM tires.
Do you have a tire shop at home? That is a lot of equipment to balance and mount tires.
