Tires Falken or Continental
My falken wild peaks are quiet, just as grippy off road, way better on road, and can handle rain and snow like it’s nothing. I would never ever go back to a KO2 after getting my wild peaks.
I got Meineke to repair my stock model Y tire before and it held up nicely, after I replaced both of my Teslas with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus and I haven’t look back, no foam and you can’t even tell a difference in road and they are awesome for significantly less money per tire, plus they have indicators to tell when to replace for Dry, Wet and Snow conditions. Will only use these tires moving forward on my vehicles.
I saved 200 dollars going with the Falken’s and haven’t had any complaints. The tires have been wearing much better than the bfg’s too.
switched to Falken, and they've yet to disappoint...first set went on in 2018 and still doing excellent!
I put these on my 2013 AWD, great tires for road and light snow 245/65R-17 FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAIL SL. Can recommend!
My wife has a CX-9 with falken ziex ct50 and she got 60k out of her set.
I live in Bucharest, the amount of glass shards on the road is shattering. I switched from Conti SportContact (4 flats/week on average) to DTH, inflated to 5 bars, no flats yet in about half a year. I find them very comfy on both asphalt and forest roads.
Continental RaceKings of the Black Chili Protection recipe with a couple ounces of Stan’s sealant in each tire. I ride in goathead thorn country and 4 tires on 2 bikes are full of thorns. I never get flats.
I swapped out at 36k to Continental EXtremeContact DWS06 (50,000 mile warranty). They were $1000 installed at my tire place. It looked like the stock Primacy's would have been $200-300 more. The Continentals are less efficient (\~5% or so), but the extra money I will spend on electricity over the life of the tire doesn't make up the cost difference. Currently have about 10k miles on the new tires. Can't tell any real difference in noise or ride comfort level.
I've had a bad experience with Continentals. Difficult to balance, not a great ride, hard in cold temperatures.
