Tires Tesla or Goodyear
The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 won Tire Rack's first place overall rating last year. The weaknesses of this tire are noise and fuel economy, and even in those areas, their performance is above average. Excellent heat/cold, wet/dry/snow performances on track and on skid pad testing.
The Rav4 with these tires did a fantastic job on snowy interstate, and through snow-covered Berkshire mountain uppy/downy roads with multiple inches of snow on them. My biggest complaint is the sensor warnings stopping me from being able to monitor AWD activity on the dash. Otherwise no complaints and significantly increased confidence in inclement winter weather.
Kelly Safari A/T. Made by Goodyear. I got load range E for rock climbing but also comes in C. 3peaks snow rated. My second set. My used FJ came with a set on it. Rides great on the highway too.
I like Goodyear Assurance. But I'm only one person! I do avoid Kumho tires - I hated them on my car.
Goodyear WeatherReadys are pretty good for all year. If you live on the western side of the state you might want some dedicated snow tires.
I haven’t driven on the Rivian Goodyears, but my experience has been that all terrain style tires like that struggle on hard packed snow and ice (they just aren’t soft enough in the cold).
I just replaced the original Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires on my model 3 RWD after about 16,000 miles and 2.5 years. They were down to about 4/32" in places and winter was coming.
I went with the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2's. I've only had them installed about 6 weeks ago so too early to tell about wear but they drive fine.
I just took delivery of a 26 Model Y Performance. It has 21 inch wheels with rubber bands for tires. It took 6 hours and 100 miles before I hit a pothole and dented the rim and split the tire sidewall. Crap!
Tires are a joke! I had a flat on a 2026 Juniper model and they gave me a reservation for three weeks out! I went to a discount tire bought their road hazard warranty for three years for $29 a tire done ✅ canceled my Tesla one plus I get faster service
Tesla Tires suck, go for another option. Michelin X Ice Snow for Winter, Goodyear ElectricDrive2 for Summer.
