Got mine from discount tire @ 10k miles. Didn’t get any snow with the oem Pirellis but can confirm the defenders are AMAZING in light snow (ATL). No regrets
I recently got these (21") for my R1T, around 2,000km on them so far. Much better traction, slightly better range, quieter and smoother drive. Depending where you are, they are not winter tires. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada, and still slide left/right in slushy snow in all purpose mode while driving half the speed limit.
Just installed these on my 22’s and way too early to speak to range but the grip is way better than the default pirellis (particularly on the snow we have had) though there is slightly more road noise
I have the 119 version of these same tires on my R1T and haven’t noticed a range difference vs the original pirellis
Have these in 22 and they're infinitely better than the default scorpions. Range is comparable if not slightly better by maybe 5%
Great experience. Ride is a little quieter, Michelins are great on snow and ice, no perceptible change in range for me at least. Almost 2k total after certs that’s the only thing I don’t like. 31k miles on the pirellis about 5k in on the new Michelins. I drive a gen1 R1T quad.
but tbh michelin is the top brand for a reason, i’ve seen them last for literally 100k miles
Michelins all day! Just a good tire ran them on my hayabusa an my CBR. I’ve actually ran all 3 the pirelli did well but wear was not very good. Anther thing push them hard an didn’t feel like there was any warning before that let go, Dunlop was pretty good but I felt like took them a while to get warmed up? Wear waster pretty good though.
Previously I had Michelin Defender xlt. While I would prefer a more pavement oriented tire the Coopers where the only load range E tires I could get on a 3 day turnaround when I needed them.
I liked the Michelins but the xl load rating was just too squirmy while towing a 7000lb trailer.
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.
