I have these and love them. Great in snow. Slightly worse gas mileage than stock tires. I've got 52k miles on them now and am about to get another set.
I’ve now had 3 different sets of these tires. On one wrangler I had 31” and switched to 33” after a year, put another set on the other wrangler also. Can’t complain one bit. Not too expensive, great tread, they don’t wear down fast, and most of all they are so quiet.
19 SEL came with Goodyear Assurance tires. No complaints so far at 6K miles. I'll be buying Cooper CS5s when the time comes. I put a set on another car I own and it was like night and day. Never knew a set of tires could make that big a difference in 40+ years of maintaining cars. Far far smoother ride and to top it off they are made in the USA. One of the few left.
Currently using Goodyear Weather Ready tires. They have been great so far. I find they are better than the X-Ice I used to have.
I haven’t looked at the Goodyear data myself, but I have spoken to people at Calspan, and I’ve been told that the Goodyear mu is “10% higher than the Hoosier stuff”.
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.
Last winter I bought then (then brandnew) Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires. They are All-seasons, but have the snowflake on the mountain symbol. They did great in the Mid-Atlantic where we don't get more than 2 days of actual snow but a lot of cold rain, occasional sleet and slush. They did come in handy when we visited the in-laws in Erie PA while they got their 100" of snow at Christmas time.
They worked great when I had them but wore very quickly for me. I have cooper st maxxs now and they have been basically the same but have lasted longer.
rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
In my experience, not a huge fan, on pavement I felt they were loud and squirrelly and wear out pretty wonky.
