I'm due for a 3rd set of tires on the Mazda CX-5, and it has less than 70k miles on it. Not sure why it burns through rubber so quickly, because it's a gutless pile. I can see how the Bolt would chew through tires.

I used to run tires until the steel appeared, but now that my company pays for the company car and I have a family, probably not something I'll do anymore.

Most I ever paid for a set of 4 tires was $750 for 285/75 R17 Bridgestone Dueller AT Revos.

I've heard people complain of ride quality on the Bolt (too harsh). The stock tires are self-sealing, meaning they weigh more than they probably should while not really solving a major problem for anyone that carries a plug kit.
