Tires NITTO or Sailun

For ATs I’ve been using Nitto Terra Grappler G2s, they’re quiet and good in rain/snow.

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.

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).

Nitto's on. I love these tires

I bought new Nittos and custom wheels that were about 1-1/2” bigger diameter. Each step looked better, and it looks really great now - except now its a little over-the-top, and my mileage is kind of terrible.

NT05 isn't great. And I hate the 555's - the orig were cheap and OK but the G2 is worse, you can do better with Firestone Indy 500's or Continental ExtremeContact both are about 300TW.

They are great off road and absolutely terrifying in the rain. Would not recommend.
