Tires Pirelli or OEM Toyota
I highly recommend Pirelli P4 Persist's, they're really good. They'll last a long time and handle well in all sorts of weather, of course you still gotta be careful in heavy rain and snow though.
I’ve been on the pirelli scorpions (18”) for two years. Got me through Chicago snows and Orlando heat with minimal noise. No complaints at all.
in the summer i swap to 22” range wheels with pirelli scorpions and get 2.1 to 2.7 mi/kw. so best case scenario, i’m getting 380.
The Pirelli gives the nicest overall ride, with a sporty steering input. The continental gives the most overall grip and is best in deep snow (4+ inches). The Michelin feels the sportiest, But you feel every minor road imperfection.
Just get tires with more protection, like the Pirelli Cinturato Velo.
Finally found the cause of the random jumping and wiggling at speed. Had the wheel & tires balanced 2 times before finally deciding to change the set. The foam padding on the original factory pirelli tires has dislodged and was probably causing uneven balance.
I got Pirelli P-Zero’s. Meh…. They just came with the Tesla rims. Ok, but I would have went with a Nokian. The pirellis are quiet, smooth run flats…. But the grip is nothing special.
We are on the original launch edition pirellis on our R1S (20” wheels) and I can’t stand the noise either.
Beautiful 22" Pirelli Scorpion Zeros that blew out on me with about 25,000 miles (40,000 km) on them. Total garbage tires.
Pirellie tires are fun to drive if you want to drive hard and don't care about it being a harsh ride. But, they cost much more and last significantly less miles than other brands. Think 50% or less of their advertised mileage before they become too rough to use.
