A Maxxis Shorty in DD casing and Max-Grip compound is about as slow a tyre as you can get - a Maxxis Rekon Race in Exo casing and Max-Speed compound is about the fastest thing you can put on your rims.
I really like the Michelin Wild AM 2 and Force AM 2 because they roll so much faster than Maxxis but still have great grip.
I had good luck with Falkens, and liked them - but for Teslas, I’ve gone back to Michelins. The OEM Goodyears were trash. Got almost 60K out of my first set of Michelins (RWD). Should be about the same for the second set (AWD).
Just replaced tires on my 2017 XC90 with Michelin Cross Climate 2 (235/55/19 115V) and LOVE THEM. By far the best tire I’ve had on it and beats the Pirelli and Continental options hands down.
The defenders are a very good choice. On road performance is no different than the defenders, they are just as quiet, but have a slightly more aggressive tread.
That said, I really have enjoyed the Michelin Cross Climate; amazing rain traction and very cushy. Only knock is that they are a little noisy in sweeping turns.
the ride is sooo much better than the stock tires. quiet and smooth.
I've been buying my tires at Costco for years. Prices couldn't be beat, especially when they have a sale. Got a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2s for a minimum 400 less than anywhere else.
went with stock michilin michelin primacy using the warranty (had to change out at 26k miles m3 LR AWD, warranty 45k)
My personal experience: Michelin defender 100.000 miles warranty. Worn to ZERO profile after 35.000 miles. NEVER MORE!
