Generally, the best winter tires will be Bridgestone Blizzak.
I swapped them for Bridgestone Turanza and after 20,000 when I traded in, they were maybe a third worn.
Between the new hankook tesla OEM tires and the aerodynamic changes the difference between the pre highland refresh and the new model 3 was pretty impressive.
Hankook rs4 is a great seat time tire. If you want it to last for the most amount of autocross/track days and seat time that’s a good option.
But if you can afford them, real winter tires like Bridgestone Blizzaks are a huge upgrade. Not just in snow, but on dry cold days where even good All Seasons are losing a lot of traction.
Well, FWIW, my new set of Hankook iON i-Cept SUV (IW01A) 275/35R21 is behaving as expected in the wet Vancouver weather. Had them on for a month now, running 35 PSI front and 36 PSI rear, it's comfortable, quiet and grippy.
Compared to the stock summer Pirellis my Hankooks don't skip/rub at low speed at full lock, get going better off the line in the wet, and seem very predictable into the corners.
I am at 25k in 13 months with 4/32 on my rear and 6/32 on the fronts of my Y Performance (can’t rotate due to staggered wheels). I have the Hankook Ion Evo AS suv tires. Those only start at 8.5/32 new from Tesla vs 10/32 for the replacement version. Not bad, if I was able to rotate I would have averaged 3.5/32 of wear over 25k miles. They still have pretty good traction, was able to fully launch in the recent nor’easter storm with slippage only on painted lines (testing to see how traction is in full rain, pretty impressive). But, there are now turns or on/off ramps that the rear wants to step out when applying a little more power than I should, was able to practically drift it around a ramp during the same storm.
The OEM Hankooks (on my 24') go full slip and slide mode if there's a drop of water on the road anywhere within 3 miles.
I can turn the "heavy steering" wheel with two pinched fingers and just my wrist when driving. It's not a big deal.
Diff breather mod.
Check the rain channels on the roof for cracking paint. Dealer should fix that as it's considered a workmanship warranty, else you can apply clear coat to the spots yourself to seal them when it inevitably cracks again.
If a leaf ever gets under the moulding/gasket around the windshield it can and will sound like your front speakers are crackling and dying when driving past 60 MPH and make your blood pressure go up trying to figure out what the hell is making that noise.
‘24 Altima VC-Turbo overpriced factory Bridgestone Turanza LS100’s tread is low already
I have had COUNTLESS Bridgestone OE tires come from many brands worn out in 20k or usually less. The aftermarket replacements are also junk from Badstone
