Tires Continental or Nokia
I just put the Nokian Hakkapelitta R5SUV tires on my R1S (also in Colorado). You can put those on the 22" wheels. I will put my Pirellis back on for summer driving.
We have two Model Y’s in Alaska and I buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV winter studless tires. I’ve always used studless winter tires on my Subarus and now we use them on our teslas. They’re pricey—I paid $1,850 for the set (not installed, and no rims) a couple months ago. We keep them on November through March and they typically last at least 3 winters.
I’m a huge fan of Nokkian Tyres for winter.
I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.
Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
Currently on Continental winter contact TS860 235 35 19, cannot say a word against them in light and heavy snow conditions.
Continental DWS 06+. They are an awesome all season tire.
I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.
I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.
I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.
Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.
Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.
I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
