Tires Hankook or Giti
Here’s an update on the Hankook tires. They are notably more efficient than the Pirellis. My daily commute was showing an average energy use of 285 Whr/mile pretty consistently. For the past month, it is now at 235 Whr/mile. This is in addition to being notably quieter over most road surfaces.
Slower but vastly more durable tire > outright pace for an 8 hour enduro. And the answer to that is, as always, Hankook RS4.
That's about as quiet as you'll get before going to a street tire. I have hankook dynapro at on one jeep and they seem a little quieter but they're also on a quieter jeep.
The falkens are pretty quiet though on my other jeep.
I’m running Hancook Kinenergy 4s2 on mine. 18R 9.5 W 245 45.
High performance, All Weather, rated W around $900 for a full set. They grip nice, great in the snow and water too
Hankook Kinergy’s. I’ve never had a budget tire that gripped as well as they.
Solid performance in wet, snow, and dry conditions, very minimal tire noise.
my Frontier's 18" OEM Hankook AT's lasted over 5 years and 63k I don't think I rotated them once
The best overall tire I have run is the Hankook MT2. I have 60,000mi on a set right now. I would buy them over and over again if I could. They handle great, ate very good offroad, wear very evenly, and don't get louder as they wear down.
The stock tires kind of suck, but I think people here overblow how bad they are. They're acceptable for daily driving, but a lot of people who buy these cars like to drive them like racecars from time to time and in that regard they are pretty terrible.
It's quiet but bouncy.... I have always had Michelin pilot sport AS or 3+ on my other teslas and have always loved them. It's been about 2-3 weeks on these hankoooks, thinking of trying to do a return if possible. I prefer a firmer ride
Back in Dec 2022 I bought a new set of Giti E1 tires from a reseller and got them installed with alignment. The tires felt slippery in the wet even after 3 months of usage. I could feel the rear of the car sliding out even when doing 30-40km/h on a wet right bend.
