I replaced the original Continental Pro Contact tires with somewhat cheaper and longer tread wear rated (70k mile) Continental Pure Contact.
Owner reviews for tires
I don’t have a Tesla (yet) but I do have Nokian one tires on my base model Subaru Impreza. The sidewall (and marketing material) has two things on it that to me make it a good choice for an EV. Silent sidewall technology and low rolling resistance.
They were used for about 6 months, but I swapped back to the stock 17' classix OEM wheels as I was street parking in a city, wanted a more comfortable ride, and wanted cheaper tire replacements .
The Assegai has the best climbing traction I've ever had (used to run DHRIIs, which would be a good option as well).
After some time, I’ve discovered the Dissector is particularly sensitive to tire pressure. After I dropped the pressure a couple of psi (I’m running the 2.4WT version on a 35mm inner width 29” rim, and have settled on 24-25psi), the Dissector is running great.
I put a set of these on mine (19”) about two months ago now. They’re doing well. My efficiency doesn’t seem to have been impacted much, they’re not really any louder than the OEM Continentals. They’re good in the rain, but they do perhaps have slightly less dry grip due to likely being a harder compound. Overall, I’ve been very happy with them.
Just got new tires! Hankook Ventus V2's. Highly recommend!
I've got the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my M3 Sr+. Europe.
I test drove the R4P on a warm day. The tires were squeaky as heck. The compound is super hard. When I get my R4P, I'm gonna run the stock tires until they wear out.
Yeah, made the mistake of buying Chinese tyres a while back, damn things would understeer into corners and oversteer out and that was summer driving, fortunately work picked up and I was able to swap them out for a set of new Yokohamas, still the scariest 3 months of driving I\`ve had in 40+ years of driving.
