Should be just replacing the factory PSC2s with PS4s. The difference in wear is pretty huge, and unless you're at 10/10 the performance difference is worth the $$ savings
Have a 2017 Volt in Ottawa for the last 2+ years.
- Summer range is about 100km and winter range is about 65km
- Have a home charger so I don’t rely much on the chargers around the city. It is convenient at IKEA and the few other places.
- Totally worth having it as I used to spend about $220 a month in gas and that equates to about $25 a month in electricity.
- We have Michelin X-ice 3 tires and it works great in winter. Something useful about electric cars is that they are quite heavy due to the batteries so it assists with the traction.
I went with 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on 18x8 BBS SR. Even these are pretty wide if you're doing a lot of snow driving, but I'm almost always on asphalt so I wanted dry traction and braking too.
Ran Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on my Audi, amazing tire if you HAVE TO have 19s
Going from my pilot super sports to a set of alpine pa4 snow tires on my FoRS was a pretty noticable change... Turns out sticky summer tires don't really grip on any amount of snow or black ice, and proper winter tires really really grip on snow and ice.
Putting Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on the Mustang, costs an arm and leg for 19" wheels but I understand the hype now. The grip is phenomenal and the wet weather handling is so much more confidence inspiring vs the Indy 500 tires, which were good tires to begin with imo.
Went from some random all seasons that the prior owner had, to Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Now I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
I don’t own a Tesla (yet) but I am huge fan of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my Audi S3. I run them year round on Florida and have virtually unlimited grip in dry and rain. Great tires. Should last about 30k miles.
Anecdotal but I originally had the 18" aero wheels on my Model 3 and installed 19" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and wow what a difference on the curvy roads. It grips the road like glue. Lot of fun.
There were long sections of I-90 especially through Washington that were loud as f***. I don’t know if it’s damage due to chains or what, but I had to endure hours of this nonsense. Maybe it was my tires? They are Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 235/40R18 inflated up to 39 psi for the extra load. They’re silent on most other roads though.
