Tires Falken or Sailun

As someone with 180,000 on a Tesla and tried both LRR/EV/non-ev tires, YES!! So far my favorite for efficiency is the Sailun E-Range tire, second is Michelin MXM4.

I have sailun e-range EV tires and they've been great for 8K miles so far. People (who don't own them) crap on these tires because they're not a big name but you can't beat the price. As far as traction, they did the trick avoiding a deer on the interstate with a hard brake and little evasive maneuver.

Sailun pricing is really good, and some of the posts i have seen do indeed say range has increased. also, compared to what came on the car, the tire is indeed quieter and smoother.

Great tire, long life, smooth quiet. 80MPH, 110mile per day commute no complaints. Decent in snow and rain too (we live in northern NM). We were concerned but they are just as good or better than your average name brand tire.

I have a set of Falken FK510s on my car. Pretty cheap, enough grip that with an upgraded rmm but without a torque gussett bar I still get pretty gnarly wheel hop. Proper grip especially in the wet which is kinda wild, and I've made it through a couple winters with them in Ohio.

Stock Pirellis were shot, tire shop recommended Sailun. $230 a piece, Irvine, CA.

My quick-take after a week of driving:

* Turning radius at slow speeds seems better than the Pirellis. It’s easier to get into parking spaces.

* Ride feels a bit "harder", more vibrations in the cabin now.

* I charge at home to 70% and only go to work and back. Normally get home at 64% SoC, this week been coming home at 65% SoC.

* Everything else feels the same (for now).

i trash mine, and i’ve never had one go flat. last time i had my truck serviced they pulled 9 nails out of my Falkens & they were all still holding pressure (i work in construction). obviously i replaced them all but the fact they were holding air still made me just buy another set.

If you go off road occasionally, and in the snow at all, the falken wildpeak AT is the way to go.

Sailun is a legit tire manufacturer. You get what you pay, but should be safe for normal operation.  I changed from Michelin PS4S (worn out at 29k mile) to Sailun, clearly feel handling is worse above 80 mph.

I have vibrations on my Wildpeaks as well, you aren't alone. Been in to re balance repeatedly. Doesn't matter, still shakes. I gave up on it and just live with it. Don't know if I'll run them again.
