Tires Firestone or Nokia
I use Nokian Hakkapelliita R3 winter tires in the winter (in Michigan) and they've worked great.
I previously tried Michelin CrossClimate2 tires, but they didn't provide quite enough snow traction. On packed, compacted snow, I could feel the car just barely sliding if I changed lanes, and I occasionally felt the ABS when braking. With the Nokian winter tires, I never feel either of those phenomena.
I had Nokian WRG2s on my Subaru and loved them. I run blizzaks on my truck now and find them to be better than the nokians were.
Another decent tire at a very good price is the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They handle all the spirited driving I do quite well.
I have Nokian WRG4 all weather tires on my 2020 GLI base. Quiet, good handling and great in snow and rain. Good warranty too!!
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.
Last summer I got Nokian Hakka Green and I have been very happy.
I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.
Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.
They were new this spring, but so far no complaints. Half my driving is gravel before I reach the asphalt. So far I’ve only had one chance to take them up further into the bush, but with the snow slowly melting there too got some new adventures planned.
Hated these Firestone’s on my e30. Got very noisy when older, grip was inferior to a even a 10mm smaller width fallen rt615.
