Tires are the Nokian Hakka R5 OEM tires from Tesla. (studless winter tires)
I'm just letting the car deal with traction, giving about 25% accelerator input.
I drove it last weekend in a Prius with three-peak mountain snowflake all weather tires (Nokian WRG-5). Like other all-weather tires, they're good in anything down to about -15°C and start to get skittish below that as the rubber hardens.
I did the same but went with a nokian tire. Love that tire. nokian is amazing. My ride improved and road noise was reduced.
I picked up a set of aftermarket rims and snow tires from Tire Rack and have been loving them for mountain trips and Local winter road travel.
I chose the WRG5 for my mom due to superior winter performance vs the CC2 and everything I have heard is that the CC2 is one of the louder tires-
For a Helsinki \u2192 Ruka trip in January, go straight for top-tier Nordic studless winters Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Michelin X-Ice Snow. Both are built exactly for the kind of icy, packed-snow highways you\u2019ll hit up north, and they handle EV weight really well. The R5 has slightly better ice grip, the X-Ice is a bit quieter and longer lasting.
I see you already got some tires but for future reference the Firestone fire hawk indy500 is one of the best bang for buck tires out there. It’s been a couple years since I got mine but I think they were around $160 a tire and they WAY outperform the nitto nt555 that costs significantly more. I bought them as a cheap set of tires for the wet weather not expecting anything special and they surprised the hell out of me. I will recommend them to everyone that asks because they’re just that good (for a tire at that price range).
We had Firestone Transforces on my dad\u2019s truck when I was in high school. Slightest hint of mud and they would pack up and slick off in an instant, but man they lasted a long time.
Just found out my tires will not pass PA inspection due to chunking and cracking. I only had these tires for 3 years/10k miles.
I had a pair of Nokian one with the exact same problem. Won’t buy Nokian again
