Tires Tesla or DUNLOP

The Dunlop Direzza ZIII is worth looking into. A close friend has half a season of autocross and 4 time trial events (So about 17 twenty to 30 minute long sessions) on his ZIII in a 2013 NC and they still have life left. For autocross they're basically a less grippy Re-71R, but they come into their own on track.

Dunlop direzza zIII's good wear 9/10 traction never get greasy, great stiff feel and break away.

Once the q4s are over like, 70 degrees, or basically u ride a few miles on the turns gently, they'll be warm enough and will stick like glue.

I did 15k mi on a rear Dunlop RoadSmart II and 25k on the front.

My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.

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.

My Dunlop wintersport 3ds have 4 seasons on them right now, this will be their last. they are not as good as they were new, but they are decent and predictable.

they’re loud. I only put on 5k miles on them but have a second set that I wrapped with Bridgestones RE71RS on 235/40/18.

I have the same tires on my 22 SE and they suck lol. Mine has the same issue with little pebbles stuck in the treads.

First came with Michelin tires, had no complaints about them, second came with Dunlop's and they are trash. The tires are loud, and pick up rocks and small pebbles on the outer and inner edges of the tires, that don't fly out while driving. Tires have less than 15k km on them. It's caused some vibration and I've had to manually take them out from time to time.
