Tires FEDERAL or Nokia
I use Nokian Hakkapelliita R3 winter tires in the winter (in Michigan) and they've worked great.
I previously tried Michelin CrossClimate2 tires, but they didn't provide quite enough snow traction. On packed, compacted snow, I could feel the car just barely sliding if I changed lanes, and I occasionally felt the ABS when braking. With the Nokian winter tires, I never feel either of those phenomena.
I had Nokian WRG2s on my Subaru and loved them. I run blizzaks on my truck now and find them to be better than the nokians were.
I have Nokian WRG4 all weather tires on my 2020 GLI base. Quiet, good handling and great in snow and rain. Good warranty too!!
I don’t have a Tesla (yet) but I do have Nokian one tires on my base model Subaru Impreza. The sidewall (and marketing material) has two things on it that to me make it a good choice for an EV. Silent sidewall technology and low rolling resistance.
Last summer I got Nokian Hakka Green and I have been very happy.
They were new this spring, but so far no complaints. Half my driving is gravel before I reach the asphalt. So far I’ve only had one chance to take them up further into the bush, but with the snow slowly melting there too got some new adventures planned.
So far I really like them. No range hit I can’t blame on them being brand new tires, great warranty, and way better traction and cornering.
I recently bought a new to me truck with 285/60/20 federal couragia fx tires. So far they ride really well in dry or wet weather, warm or cold.
Federals are good but if you are daily driving you will hate how much noise those bastards make, really really fast.
I personally know they are trash. Great advertising, poor engineering. Stay clear of Blizzaks and get Nokian.
