vs
Tires Tesla or WEST LAKE
Westlake makes really cheap tires that are great for burners. They're really hard rubber too so they slip really easily. They're OK to daily but in the wet it's interesting.
Pros: cheap tires, slip easily
Cons: interesting in the wet
I drive about 160 KM every week, I use Westlake and its been 2 years already, still got enough tread for another 6 months, approx
Pros: enough tread after 2 years
You want cheap tires. Go Westlakes. Great budget brand.
I've run a few sets and no complaints.
Pros: great budget brand
Part number: SW608
Westlake SW608s. The best!
Pros: The best!
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
Pros: good tires for price
Mileage: 16093 km
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
My dad currently has Westlake tires on his truck and they're not noisy at all. They do have less grip however and you have to be careful on wet roads.
Pros: not noisy
Cons: less grip
Westlakes are some of the worst tires you can buy. If you need cheap tires, stick to General, BFgoodrich, or Hankook. Don't buy shit tires, you're placing your life in the hands of a ultra cheap Chinese tire brand that makes tires that failed German tire safety tests.
Cons: worst tires you can buy
