Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
My experience was the same with the factory tires (I know you changed yours out). I replaced those at 70k with Michelin Cross Country II’s and HOLY CRAP, what a difference.
The CrossClimate2 is an incredible tire that beats everything else in its class. Look at the reviews online, it's amazing and worth every penny. The Kumhos aren't nearly as good.
Trust me, the Michelin Cross Climate 2's are a fantastic tire, do well in all kinds of weather and just make the car feel more planted.
I bought a set of Pirelli P zero AS plus ELEC and have found their snow handling solid and excellent overall handling on curves and in rain. Very quiet as well.
I recently put 19” Pirelli Scorpion on my Model 3. Look sick and run quiet. Gets a little rough over 90mph.
I can buy this certificate for around $150 (total for 4 tires) right after I buy a new car? Michelin self sealing OEM tires, that basically have no warranty for blow outs or side wall issues. Seems like a bargain on a car with no spare.
I have the sottozero 3s and they are really damn good in the dry for being a snow tire. Almost as good as a set of performance all seasons while being way better than all seasons in snow.
If you are looking for tires with harder compound yt enough grip check out Pirelli Scorpion Enduro or Continental. For the back wheel better than any Maxxis or Schwalbe.
I have 14.5k miles on my R1T with 21s. I've been doing a 5 tire rotation (@ 5k and 10k). My gauge says either 6 or 7/32nds remain depending on where the tire is at in the rotation.
I hated my geolanders and was so glad to get rid of them. True that my only off roading is forest roads but I have a set of Michelin defenders that takes on everything from dry slalom’s to loose forest road hills and snow with quiet confidence.
