Tires Nokia or WEST LAKE
I don’t have a Tesla (yet) but I do have Nokian one tires on my base model Subaru Impreza. The sidewall (and marketing material) has two things on it that to me make it a good choice for an EV. Silent sidewall technology and low rolling resistance.
Last summer I got Nokian Hakka Green and I have been very happy.
They were new this spring, but so far no complaints. Half my driving is gravel before I reach the asphalt. So far I’ve only had one chance to take them up further into the bush, but with the snow slowly melting there too got some new adventures planned.
So far I really like them. No range hit I can’t blame on them being brand new tires, great warranty, and way better traction and cornering.
On the other hand, I had a set of Westlake tyres on my Grand, cheap and Chinese but they're well know to be tough as nails, lots of the mining companies out in the bush here run them on their work utes etc
As far the the tires themselves: for all-season tires, I'd recommend Nokian WRG, as they're all-season tires that have a winter tire rating, so you'll get better traction in the snow.
Mine wore 11 year old nokians untill its rusty demise in january when i had to say farewell. They where rock hard but boy it was fun going sideways everywhere
My recommendation would be the nokian hakkapeliitta. These are by far the best snow tires I've ever used. They're also reasonably priced.
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
I had their entyre series, basically the all weather option. A bit too firm for my liking. After 20k miles, they became very noisy.
