It all depends on tyres you're using. I'm plowing through all that snow on my all season mid tier kumho Solus with no problems in my caddy van
Owner reviews for tires
I just replaced all 5 on my Forester, BF Goodrich All Terrains, for AU $1250, so about US $840 at Costco.
Im from the same area and I got wildpeaks at4s 265/75r16 at 1010tires for $246. Love the wildpeaks so far, only downside is the gas mileage from stock tires went from 12.3l/100kms to 13.8l/100kms.
I'm currently running Falken Azenis on my '07 STi. They were $150/tire and there was an $80 instant rebate for buying a set of 4. So, $130/tire after rebate.
For the Nexen, I had a set of Nexen Roadian AT tires and they worked well for me.
I had a 1999 Explorer and had it at the dealer for an oil change. While it was there word came down from Ford: if it\u2019s an Explorer with Firestone tires, switch to Goodyear! So, for about $40 I got an oil change and 5 new tires (including the spare). Best deal I ever got on a car!
I sized up and really liked that decision. I’m mid though on my cooper discoverer rugged trek. Good wear, lowish noise for a “m/t” (basically at), good not great on dirt, rain performance has been decent, breaking is good, but the snow performance has been just ok.
But what about other maintenance costs, such as brakes and tires? Obviously EVs don’t have fluid changes. But don’t the tires cost more and wear out quicker on the Tesla due to the extra weight and power?
I have them on my old Toyota. Worst tires i ever had. 4 years old, 45000 kms (28000 miles) and sides looks like on 10 yrs old tires. Barelly 4 mm threads. Etc.
I got Pilot AS4s for mine, thinking I'd be good for... *ALL* seasons. The Pilots were solid for that winter. Come next winter and I'm thinking I'm good to go. Nope. Mine was legit dangerous.
