    I have two original front wheels for sale. Both are in great condition. One of them has a working TPMS sensor and the other has none. Please let me know if you are interested in them and I will check the shipping price to ship to you. I am asking $20 plus shipping for the one with the TPMS and...

    Most efficient tire alternative to stock tires

    @rkiyer Are the Rt-43's treating you good? I have had the General Tire RT-43's on all four corners for a year now and have really enjoyed them. I find I still get great millage and they seem to be wearing reasonably good too. I especially enjoy having traction in all conditions which is...

    195/55r15 on all 4 corners for over 7000 miles. UPDATE!

    An update on my set up. I have 4 front OE wheels on all four corners of my Spark EV (I purchased two additional used front wheels and mounted them on the rear). I did this because the front wheel fits on all 4 corners of the car without issue and allowed total clearance of the wheel and tire. I...

    195/55r15 on all 4 corners for over 7000 miles. UPDATE!

    Hey. Yes. I am saying that I purchased two used front wheels. The rear wheel is the wheel that can't be mounted up front. The front wheel can be mounted on the rear with no trouble at all. So now YES, I have the same exact tire and wheel combo on all 4 corners that can be rotated like so many...

    195/55r15 on all 4 corners for over 7000 miles. UPDATE!

    Hi everyone. A bit ago I posted a question here if anyone had any numbers on running a 195 up front. Well I went ahead with my project and here are the results. I picked the General Tire RT43 because it is very well rated and there is a 185 profile so if I didn't like the result I could put the...

    21700 based custom battery pack for the Spark EV

    I bet those prices come way down once someone actually wants to do it. Hell the retail price of our batteries is over 60% off in some cases online right now (google chevy part # 23348215). It was $12k-$14k and now is down to $4500 which is not all that unreasonable.

    To anyone who has run a 195/55r15 tire up front.

    Good to know, sorry it cost you some money. Thanks for the post. I will be putting 195/55r15's on the front this week. I have heard that they will fit so here is hoping.

    Would a Volt key fob shell work for a 2015 Spark EV?

    This is a bummer to hear. I'm really sorry and I feel bad for encouraging you to go for it. I'll buy you a beer and treat you to some grade A BBQ if your ever in Austin. :D

    Would a Volt key fob shell work for a 2015 Spark EV?

    Great. This will be good to know there is additional replacement.

    To anyone who has run a 195/55r15 tire up front.

    This will be about a 3% increase in overall diameter. Width is the same at 185 so this will be a great test. Your speedo will read about 2mph faster so keep that in mind. Keep us posted.

    Would a Volt key fob shell work for a 2015 Spark EV?

    No knowledge, just an opinion but I'd go for it. Carvana shows the keys for each car in their inside virtual tour and they look the same as my spark key for that year. I think your low risk suspicion is correct and that you would be just fine

    Where do we all live? Sparks are dispersing.

    Thanks for the tips. I only use the level 2 when I need to charge quickly so mostly 8 or 12 amps at 120v. I don't drive much so its only getting charged every 3 or 4 days. I'm hoping this will help with my battery longevity. Working nights also helps with keeping it out of the direct heat during...

    To anyone who has run a 195/55r15 tire up front.

    Can I ask what offset your wheels are for fitting on all 4 corners please?

    To anyone who has run a 195/55r15 tire up front.

    Ya it quickly becomes an Apples to Oranges affair. I read here somewhere that the width of the tire quickly becomes the enemy with regard to efficiency. With this in mind I'll go no larger than bringing the rear 195 size up front. My current tires are not the original, nor are the LLR and I am...

    To anyone who has run a 195/55r15 tire up front.

    Hello fellow Spark EV owners. I have read a few of you have at some time run the 195/55r15 tire size up front and also read that this tire size does indeed fit up front. My question is what difference did you see to your efficiency? Its only 1.3% difference, but did that translate into something...

    Where do we all live? Sparks are dispersing.

    Hi guys. Brand new here from Austin TX. Your forum has been a wonderful resource. Thank you. I ended up with a lime green '15 that was only driven about 324 miles a month, not a scratch on it. I'm not positive but I don't think the previous owner didn't DCFC much due to the cobwebs I found under...
