Tires Tesla or Shinko

Shinko Tires

Shinko SR777 HD (reinforced) tires on my '04 FLHRSI as best bang for the buck given how ex$pen$ive the premium tires are these days. It helps to check the psi more often for longevity though.

Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: check psi more often

Shinko Tires

I run shinko 777 in the rear. It's cheap and I like them. The compound is a bit hard so you'll lose cold weather performance. But I ride in 45 degrees and above and haven't had issues with them.

Pros: cheap, user likes them
Cons: lose cold performance

July of 2020 built LR Y with 34k miles and its been great. Definitely by far the best car I've owned. My 1st year I only drove it 7k miles, but then I bought a house 35 miles from my work and ended up putting on 27k miles in the last year.

My 1 and only complaint is it chews through tires, I replaced the factory set at around 20k miles, and 5k of those miles were on snow tires and they were rotated religiously. I've adjusted my driving habits a little (I have a heavy right foot, lol) and I think I might get 30k miles out of my current set.

Pros: best car I've owned
Cons: chews through tires
Mileage: 54000 km

My 21 MYLR delivered last September, and I’ve put on 23k mi since. Have had to replace windshield, tires, and got the trailer hitch installed. The road noise bothered me at first, but when I replaced the tires (larger all weather) that has significantly improved.

Pros: road noise improved
Cons: road noise bothered
Mileage: 37000 km

I have shinko 805/804s, they are pretty identical to the 606s, and I absolutely love them. If you balance them well they ride good at 75mph, and handle dirt fantastic.

Pros: handle dirt fantastic

I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.

Pros: dives into the corners

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.

Pros: handles like a dream
Cons: 30% range loss
Mileage: 22000 km
