MYLR owner here. Replaced OEM continentals at 35k miles with Costco Michelin PS AS4. Much quieter and ride was more comfortable over potholes. Initial 2-3k miles I had a drop in efficiency but after that the efficiency has been the same or perhaps better than original continentals. It's also much better with handling in almost all conditions ie snow, rain and summer.
Owner reviews for tires
I got the pirrelli zero elects EV specific with foam. They are great and are lasting way longer that the pilot sports I had on there.
The Nokian tires are the winner. We run these tires in Greenland, and I run them on the R (The R2’s) in the North East. They are incredible tires in cold weather conditions. I’ve gotten many seasons - i am just now retiring them, after a very long run. They would have lasted even longer except I left them on the car in the summer because I couldn’t bring myself to switch to my firmer summer tires. Despite the abuse they held up.
I recently replaced the original pilot sport 4 for a set of cross climate 2. Was a bit worried how much sound will be impacted since cc don't have the foam. It was a little bit of a different sound, not louder just a different tone. But stopped noticing anything the next day.
On my 2019 M3, I had Continental tires with foam as well. I replaced them with Michelin sport pilot 4 (no foam) and to be honest they were quieter than the factory tires.
I run the "Vredestein Wintrac Pro" on msw 18's on my mk8 golf r and they rip in all conditions, I ran them all last winter and showed little wear, although I did avoid hot days.
I just replaced the factory tires on my MYLR at 36K miles with Hankook ion EV tires. So far I've got about a 1,000 miles on them and they are awesome. They are quieter than the stock Continentals and the ride is a bid smoother.
Im having this debate right now. I have had my defender 2s since \~30k and they have performed flawlessly especially between Maine and DC. Its seen snow, rain etc and I have not had an issues in any climate.
Last tires I got bought were Conti Extreme Contacts which I’m impressed with and are known as some of the best on the market. Probably not as quiet as the Michelin primacy I have on another vehicle but performance feels not quite as good in bad conditions as the Contis
I think the ProContacts are known to be junk. I upgraded to Continental DWS. If those fail, I'm switching brands for life.
