Tires Nexen or Tesla

I have only used their previous version, Winguard Sports. Can't complain about them. They are a performance winter, so snow and ice won't be as good as a Xice Xi3, blizzak ws-80 or Hakkapeliitta tire

I've only used the original winguard sports. Can't complain for the price and it's purpose. They never let me down in a blizzard...

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.

I had a set of those in 31x10.5x15. I really liked them. I kept the pressures around 25-27 psi had them for almost 30k miles.

Spend the money on a really good set of fronts. Nexen SUR04

I've been quite happy with my Nexens on my E39. They're quiet and smooth. Oh yeah, grip in the snow is quite good too.

I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.

Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..

I have some Nexen tires on a Kia Optima and all four are "out of round" with only 17k Miles. Like riding on square block. Crappy tires!

These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.
