Tires Tesla or BRIDGESTONE

I've been swapping out my tires every November-April for Blizzaks. Proper winter tires are totally worth it though. A WRX with winter tires is a beautiful thing.

A set of 17's and Blizzaks will work wonders in snow/ice conditions ...

I had my last winter with my F80 last year, and used Blizzaks on staggered 18” wheels. Never let me down through the shitty Canadian snow.

I don't think savings should be the main driver to get a Tesla. A lot of things can influence if you save money or not compared to an ICE car. In my case...yes. Insurance costs vary by a ton of factors. Where I live insurance is paid annually and mine is $1500 for a full cover, which is like $125 a month. More than your average ICE car, that pays about $800 yearly. However I've saved money in every other aspect. I have solar so I charge for free. And the only maintenance I've paid were $15 to a local tire shop to rotate my tires and 2 gallons of wiper fluid.

I have S22's on my current streetbike and really like them. Really great in the wet, and plenty of stick for the street.

The tire and wheel protection already paid for itself. I got a bolt in my tire and they placed a loaner on my vehicle within the hour I call them. Set up a service appointment and had to pay a $25 deductible. Worth it for me.

And for the winter I bought a set of 255/55/19 bridgestone blizzaks; excellent in the snow!

Bridgestone AT tires gamit namin sa everest. So far ok naman naka isang palit na since mag 9 yrs na everest namin.

I swapped to 19x8.5 Atomic AW21 wheels (21.3 lbs) with Bridgestone Blizzak 6 XL 235/55R19 tires. So it is a more narrow tire. After noticing my battery percentage dropping surprisingly fast on short trips, I put on the energy app some today and see I'm now using nearly 500 Wh/mi on that same day to day driving. I expected snow tires to have worse rolling resistance, but this seems like a lot. 50% more energy usage equates to a 33% reduction in range. Does that seem normal or excessive?

As someone who owns a ID4 that was in the shop for two weeks for a batter module replacement. I was able to get one of these EVs as a loaner. I was shocked it came with the crappy Bridgestone Alenza tires. My word of advice, get rid of them ASAP. Mine back tires did not last 20k miles.
