Tires Tesla or GENERAL TIRE

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 replaced them with General Altimax, dealer reccomended them. I have about 10k on them and like them. Took them on some mild-moderate off-roading out in the Mojave the other day and they did amazingly well for road tires.

I have about 5000 miles on General AS-05's, 235/45/18 mounted on Prismas. Love these tires.

I've had General (altimax, loved those)

Last week I replaced OE Conti Pro Contact which still had decent thread left but were uncomfortably noisy with General Altimax RT43 and boy what a difference in ride quality, handling and incredibly quiet.

I’ve found the General G-Max AS-03 to be an awesome tire, on my 2nd set since the OEM Dunlop’s but the new AS-05 will be the replacement.

The General Gmax AS-05's perform extremely well. The Michelin's are still top dog don't get me wrong, they have better braking, lateral grip, as well as wet grip, but if you want 95% of the the AS 3+'s and save (usually) a couple hundred dollars on a new set of tires the AS-05's are my pick.

I just ordered a set of General Tire G-MAX AS-05 for my Bolt. With 28,000 miles of wear on the factory tires, I can feel it starting to hydroplane in heavy rain. I'm swapping before something worse than "starting to hydroplane" happens. And I'm looking forward to it being a *lot more fun* to drive.

I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.

I'm in the Boston area as well (NW), running General Altimax Arctic 12s in 225/45/18 for a bit more sidewall. They've been excellent in the snow, I just need to remember not to go all in on dry on ramps.
