The weird tire size was one of the reasons I very quickly market the i3 off my shopping list. Expensive, mediocre grip, and no other options. What happens when Bridgestone gets tired of making them?

The stock Michelin Bolt tires are stiff, mediocre and heavy with the layer of sealing tar on the inside. 23lb each with less tread depth than my new Pilot Sports. I solved the flat tire problem by buying a spare wheel / tire from another Chevy.
The tires don't help the ride but I'd say a lot of the issue is just the short wheelbase. It is hard to fight physics.
