Tires Tesla or BFGoodrich
Ive got a 2023 trd sport and run 265/70/17s (bfg ko2)on TRD wheels with no issues.
Love the traction and the control I have with M3P on my winter setup.
However, we had our first serious snow last night. The crappy roads, coupled with the low (mid-20’s F) killed my charge way faster than expected. I’m not too worried about it since I mainly charge at home but I only got about 340 wh/mile instead of my usual 260 or so over about 200 miles doing uber.
I run KO2s on my truck year round. I’ve never had dedicated winter tires for my truck so I can’t compare to that, but the all terrains are noticeably better on snow and ice than the all seasons that came with it. You still need to use common sense with driving to the conditions but the tires do help
Went with the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, super cheap out the door w/ rebate at Costco, I think it was like like $450 for 4 tires? And BFGoodrich just uses older Michelin designs so their tires are amazing and better than the budget brands it competes with
BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT is a much better tire for only a little more money.
Running for 3 years now on BF Goodrich Advantage All Season SUV (not premium, but touring tyre) and they've been really solid on all temperature ranges.
Been to Slovenia and back in rainy May, they held good. Been in all weather situations in South east Montenegro, no problem.
Snowy and ice conditions last winter in Serbia, not even a slip or losing grip.
Even been 3 times to Greece during scorching summers, they were still fine.
Definitely a bit less grip in the dry than the 215 PS4s, but they're actually usable in the cold, solid in the wet, and at least passable in the snow. I'm not sure how much of the change in handling is down to the taller sidewall and narrower tire, and how much is the tire compound itself.
This is simply my perspective. I’ve had KM3, 3 different times. They are soft, they are more round than squared and performed well but I chunked them a lot using them to climb. One set I had new suspension and forgot to realign after it settled and did a little towing. I cupped all 4 wheels in 1500 miles.
I needed new tires *ridiculously* fast, as the OEM set's treads wore out at an absurd rate. I honestly think I had a bad set, because even the tire guys who replaced them were shocked at how bad, and *inconsistent*, the wear was on 1-year-old tires. I got a 40% discount on them due to the warranty, but they were still $700.
Tires on the Tesla are very expensive and wear out guicker because of weight of battery.
