One customer is tickled to death that there is no noise. With such an amazing warranty, the tires might outlast your ownership of the Volt.

#2 - Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 Performance Radial Tire Our number two pick comes from the same awesome brand out of South Korea. Customers report superior grip on wet roads and even an extra 3 to 5 miles per charge! A bit of a rougher ride than our first pick, these Hankook tires are still an excellent choice. They come with a 50,000 mile warranty.

#3 - BFGoodrich 29016 g-Force COMP-2 A/S All-Season Radial Tire With a 45,000 mile warranty, users report that these BFGoodrich tires get unbelievable grip in wet and dry conditions. Some customers are skeptical that the tires will last for the whole 45,000 mile warranty since they grip so well and usually that means fast wear. Multiple customers report a profound change in braking performance. On the downside, they look a little bulky.

#4 - Michelin Premier A/S Touring Radial Tire Customers report that these tires rated for 60,000 miles are extremely quiet. They come with Michelin EverGrip Technology, which has expanding rain grooves that widen and emerging grooves that open as the tire wears to maintain traction. Sunflower oil keeps the EverGrip compound flexible in lower temperatures on icy roads.
