I have already had the range of my leaf impacted by "average" LRR tires.
In the nissan leaf it's not about saving money on overall cost like a with a gasoline powered vehicle.
It's all about the range.
I can't fill up just anywhere like a gasoline vehicle is able to.
The leaf saves $150 to $250 per month in gas so I can afford to put the pricy tires on it.
On a purely tire cost verses electricity saved added cost of the high end LRR tires they will never ever come any where close to paying for them selves.
The savings is in being able to take the leaf instead of the gasoline car, not running the battery down to the point of damaging it, not ending up on the side of the road in need of a tow is where the real saving are.
