Tires Hankook or Pirelli
For those in the market for new tires I just put a set of the Hankook ion evo tires on the X and they are INCREDIBLE. Before throwing these tires on I was definitely of the "there's no way these foam tires are going to make a differnce" school of thought. I'm a believer.
Hankook Winter i*cept RS for 128€/tyre is reasonable and work well in snow.
I’m quite impressed by how these tires perform on wet roads even with how aggressive they are compared to other similarly aggressive all terrains like the BFGoodrich KO2 that I used to have. They also have a pretty good 70K mile warranty which is pretty great!
As mentioned the old tires were shot with 2016 date stamps and cracks all over. Replaced with a set of Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus tires aka the cheapest legit all-season tire ($99/ea). Car drives much better now and will be much safer once the rains return.
I really like Hankook tires. I've had no problem with traction and acceleration with my MYP with the Hankook ION Evos.
Hankook K435 Kinergy. Fantastic for what it costs
I got the P Zero AS+ and they've been nothing but amazing so far. I'm in Canada as well.
They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
I was just struggling with a set of these the other day, they are 28mm and my rims are actually hooked at 22mm internal, so nothing too crazy. I barely managed to get 1 bead on, so I knew the second one would be a pain lol. It took a lot of convincing to get them on.
No point going for the TO (Tesla original) models with a bit of foam in them, they claim this will reduce road noise but this really makes no differemce. If you want a quieter ride install some sound deadener pads.
