Tires Tesla or Shinko

I've had my model 3 for 7 years now and the only thing I've ever done is change tires

Love the traction and the control I have with M3P on my winter setup.

However, we had our first serious snow last night. The crappy roads, coupled with the low (mid-20’s F) killed my charge way faster than expected. I’m not too worried about it since I mainly charge at home but I only got about 340 wh/mile instead of my usual 260 or so over about 200 miles doing uber.

Used the plan for my rear of my M3P. They replaced the single tire. Car was less than 1 mo old so the others were same depth as new. In fact the 3 original tires that remain are a newer production date than what was replaced.

I replaced my aging Toyota Tacoma with a Cybertruck. When it finally came out, I was a bit disappointed with the Cybertruck’s range stats. I didn’t realistically expect it to have the full 500 miles promised in 2017, but when I finally bought mine a couple of months ago, my range expectations were admittedly low, but the actual range I got was impressive. Add to that the truck has the largest bed of the available full sized electric trucks, plus drive by wire, rear wheel steering, 48 volt architecture, etc., I am pretty happy. My biggest gripe was the lack of a spare tire.

F250 diesel guy here for 35 years in construction. I sold my last truck and moved to the model S. I was so impressed with the S that I bought a Foundation Cyberbeast. I use it like a truck maxing it out with no problems ever. I just finished a loaded 2500 km road trip this week. Range anxiety is a thing of the past. Believe the Tesla estimated range on the screen and charge when it says to. Simple and fun to drive. A sports-car truck. It does more than my diesel and powers my cottage for 5 days to boot. I did pick up a nail but that was easily fixed roadside with a plug and pistol grip inflator.

Burned through my stock tires super fast. They lasted 16k miles. Got me some Michelin CrossClimate IIs and they still look almost brand new, even after 35k additional miles.

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?

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.
