vs
Tires Tesla or Uniroyal
I am using Uniroyal MS Plus 77, in size 255/40/19, last winter they were good, no slips, good braking on wet and mood, will see this year how they will be.
Pros: no slips, good braking on wet
I have had one set of the Tiger Paws. Was very happy with them. Didn't feel mushy, cornering vastly improved over the Michelin tires.
Pros: cornering vastly improved
Cons: none
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.
Pros: handles like a dream
Cons: 30% range loss
Mileage: 22000 km
Tires: uniroyaal sport Rain.
GM used to put Uniroyal Tiger Paws on their trucks, and I don't know what the number was, but it must've been high because those damn tires last forever and still looked brand new. I think I finally tossed them at 120K miles.
Pros: last forever, looked brand new
Mileage: 193121 km
I know TCL hates them, but I think the Uniroyal Tiger Paw is a good tire for the money. It's not high performance, but they are adequate, quiet, and can realistically last the 70k miles for which they are rated.
Pros: adequate, quiet, long lasting
Cons: not high performance
Mileage: 70000 km
I have no experience with Tiger Paw tires but the Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 is one of the best tires I've driven.
Pros: one of the best
Vehicle:
Honda
I picked up some uniroyal winter snow and ice II. On the cheaper side, made by Michelin. I ran them before on my BMW 325xi. Never had an issue. I would think the same for our tiguan is 4 motion.
Pros: no issues, cheaper side
Vehicle:
BMW
Uniroyal Tigerpaw inner lining exploded from over inflation.
Cons: inner lining exploded
