Tires Tesla or NITTO

Rides much smoother than stock, less bumpy and not noisy at all.

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.

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.

Drove 3hours in a blizzard like a TANK. I was able to drive 70mph with confidence, everyone else was going 20-30mph. I do have nitto motivo 365s which are 3pms certified but dang im impressed.

Have 5k on these. Great tires.

But what about other maintenance costs, such as brakes and tires? Obviously EVs don’t have fluid changes. But don’t the tires cost more and wear out quicker on the Tesla due to the extra weight and power?

Put Nitto Rodgre Grapplers on the truck, I am happier with the road noise, however I noticed that Driver+/Highway Assist doesn’t keep speed steady anymore.

I just took delivery of a 26 Model Y Performance. It has 21 inch wheels with rubber bands for tires. It took 6 hours and 100 miles before I hit a pothole and dented the rim and split the tire sidewall. Crap!

Tires are a joke! I had a flat on a 2026 Juniper model and they gave me a reservation for three weeks out! I went to a discount tire bought their road hazard warranty for three years for $29 a tire done ✅ canceled my Tesla one plus I get faster service

I needed new tires *ridiculously* fast, as the OEM set's treads wore out at an absurd rate. I honestly think I had a bad set, because even the tire guys who replaced them were shocked at how bad, and *inconsistent*, the wear was on 1-year-old tires. I got a 40% discount on them due to the warranty, but they were still $700.
