Tires OEM Audi or Tesla
Just got a 2021 sq5 today, comes with 5 year CPO, so it has like 3 years left. My intention is to drive it for 4-5 years, they quoted me like 3.5k CAD after tax for two years. So ill have factory warranty until 2028.

2021 LR Y, got 68k miles on original tires. replaced 2 months ago. maybe its how or where you drive?
Pros: very long lifespan
Mileage: 109437 km
July of 2020 built LR Y with 34k miles and its been great. Definitely by far the best car I've owned. My 1st year I only drove it 7k miles, but then I bought a house 35 miles from my work and ended up putting on 27k miles in the last year.
My 1 and only complaint is it chews through tires, I replaced the factory set at around 20k miles, and 5k of those miles were on snow tires and they were rotated religiously. I've adjusted my driving habits a little (I have a heavy right foot, lol) and I think I might get 30k miles out of my current set.
Pros: best car I've owned
Cons: chews through tires
Mileage: 54000 km
My 21 MYLR delivered last September, and I’ve put on 23k mi since. Have had to replace windshield, tires, and got the trailer hitch installed. The road noise bothered me at first, but when I replaced the tires (larger all weather) that has significantly improved.
Pros: road noise improved
Cons: road noise bothered
Mileage: 37000 km
I have a RWD LR Model 3 so my reply is based solely on this. I have never considered any other EV so I can't tell you about them.
\- I drive my son all over Ontario, Quebec, and the northern US for his sports year round. Sometimes to very rural areas. You'd be surprised where you come across charging stations.
\- You can change your habits to allow more efficiency in the winter: schedule your charging to complete around the time you plan to leave, try to make sure your battery is warm when you drive (see first point), always make sure the battery is warm when you charge, use your heated seats more than your HVAC, lower your driving speed to match the speed limit, etc.
\- my personal experience (22k KM on my car) is that you will no doubt experience some range loss in the winter. The colder it is, the worse it is. I would say on average I lost about 30% last winter but some of that is due to my heavy foot on the clear days.
\- I have put winter tires on every car I've owned in the last 25 years. So yes - I have them on my Model 3 and yes it handles like a dream in the snow.
Pros: handles like a dream
Cons: 30% range loss
Mileage: 22000 km
My car on 15x8's is sporting 195/50 15's and the tires are slightly stretched-- not too stretched in my opinion but just help to round out the sidewall a bit
Pros: round out the sidewall
Cons: slightly stretched
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
2 sets of rubber on her for a total of 40,000km in 18 months.
Pros: fun driving experience
Cons: frequent tire replacement
Mileage: 40000 km
Replaced all 4 tires about 2 years ago. Have only driven about 18,000 miles since then and already, my tread is down two just 2mm. This thing chews through tires like I’m in a NASCAR race.
Pros: car still drives great
Cons: chews through tires
Mileage: 83000 km
My MYP went 12k before replacement
Cons: short lifespan
Mileage: 19312 km
The stock tires are garbage. Brakes are expensive.
Cons: stock tires garbage
