Tires Tesla or OEM Honda
F250 diesel guy here for 35 years in construction. I sold my last truck and moved to the model S. I was so impressed with the S that I bought a Foundation Cyberbeast. I use it like a truck maxing it out with no problems ever. I just finished a loaded 2500 km road trip this week. Range anxiety is a thing of the past. Believe the Tesla estimated range on the screen and charge when it says to. Simple and fun to drive. A sports-car truck. It does more than my diesel and powers my cottage for 5 days to boot. I did pick up a nail but that was easily fixed roadside with a plug and pistol grip inflator.
Pros: Simple and fun to drive
Mileage: 2500 km
Get a Honda civic and snow tires. They’re reliable, safe, good on gas. I’ve never had a fwd let me down in the winter unless I was driving like a dumbass.
Pros: reliable, safe, good on gas
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Personally I went up one tire profile (from 225/50R17 to 235/55R17) and now my Speedo is GPS accurate ± 0.5kmh
Pros: Speedo is GPS accurate
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Burned through my stock tires super fast. They lasted 16k miles. Got me some Michelin CrossClimate IIs and they still look almost brand new, even after 35k additional miles.
Pros: long lasting tires
Cons: stock tires wore quickly
Mileage: 35000 km
I've just fitted my third set of tyres. First two sets lasted 36k and 45k (km).
Pros: replaced tires
Mileage: 45000 km
Hope ICE repair shops can transition to EV repairs. We wont need regular maintenance but we will need a lot more tires (lol) and brake maintenance since we dont use them as much (rust avoidance).
Pros: more tires needed
Cons: brake rust avoidance
Still need tire shops. Everything else that is ICE specific will shut down.
On a Tesla yes
only issue i have is the car eats tires, 10-12k miles a set currently
Cons: short lifespan
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
