I would recommend the Hankook Ion Evo A/S I have them on my Model S, very little road noise, very Efficient and has low rolling resistance as designed.
I have had the old pilot sports and the new pilots … only regret is they never break traction . Absolutely the best tires in the market .
Michelin's X-ice's are pretty competitive.
I had Pilot sport as3 a few years back but got as4 when I got my new wheels and they’re good. They’re able to keep the power down, some wheel spin in second, with my new build that makes 655 to the wheels.
I’ve had both on my 2016. The biggest difference I noticed immediately after switching from the dws06 to the pilot sports is the road noise. The Michelin’s are much quieter and overall have been the best tires I’ve ever owned.
I have been driving for about a month on Michelin Defenders (21"; purchased/installed at Costco) and will never go back to the Pirellis. Quieter for road travel, good handling, minimal difference in range
If we are willing to go SLIGHTLY off-size, there are Hankook Ion Evo tires. You would have to get 215/50/R17 because they technically dont offer the factory size. Good reviews, good price, efficient, and they have a rebate right now.
I ran the Michelins for 8 winters here in BC. They are an excellent tire. Good in rain, snow and ice (ice performance degraded after about the third season).
I have them on my Lexus ES300h and drove with them coast-to-coast across the entirety of Canada in the dead of winter, then back again in the summer. I found them to be really great performers in winter, even in nearly tire-high snow, and I never had a moment where I was worried about slipping or sliding, even through the Rockies in white-out conditions. HOWEVER... I find them to be too noisy in the summer. I can see the fuel efficiency drop on road trips in the summer as well, and I'm not sure I'd run them year-round again knowing what I know now.
The pilot sports are terrible. I burned through my set in 11000 miles.
