vs
Tires Tesla or Uniroyal
I don't think savings should be the main driver to get a Tesla. A lot of things can influence if you save money or not compared to an ICE car. In my case...yes. Insurance costs vary by a ton of factors. Where I live insurance is paid annually and mine is $1500 for a full cover, which is like $125 a month. More than your average ICE car, that pays about $800 yearly. However I've saved money in every other aspect. I have solar so I charge for free. And the only maintenance I've paid were $15 to a local tire shop to rotate my tires and 2 gallons of wiper fluid.
Pros: saved money
Cons: higher insurance
The tire and wheel protection already paid for itself. I got a bolt in my tire and they placed a loaner on my vehicle within the hour I call them. Set up a service appointment and had to pay a $25 deductible. Worth it for me.
Pros: paid for itself, fast service
Cons: 25 deductible
Audi S3 to Tesla Model 3 Performance.
Went from $80 a week in fuel to $50 a month in power.
Pros: no warm up required
Cons: expensive tires
I’ve had a set of Uniroyals (Tigerpaws) on my 2010 ford focus slider. They’ve been on for quite a few years now, no noticeable cracking, and treadwear still good.
Pros: treadwear still good
Cons: ford focus slider
Vehicle:
Ford Focus

Mine are around 3.5/32 and 4.5/32 with 35k miles. Probably going to change them in a few thousands more.
Pros: good mileage
Cons: low thread depth
Mileage: 35000 km
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!
Pros: wheel and tire coverage
Cons: rim dented, tire split
Mileage: 161 km
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
Pros: faster service
Cons: slow service, joke
Also, Uniroyal has extremely soft rubber compound. All their tyres were very quickly.
Cons: soft rubber compound
