Tires Tesla or SUMITOMO

My Sumitomo Ice Edges have been doing phenomenal for a more budget snow tire this winter

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.

Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.

Audi S3 to Tesla Model 3 Performance.

Went from $80 a week in fuel to $50 a month in power.

my tesla.. never have had any issues and ive had it for 3 years. I replaced the tires once.. thats it

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?

Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

This Tire Brand Has The Lowest Customer Satisfaction Rating, according to Consumer Reports

I also need new tires at 3 years and 28,000 miles because of excess wear on the inside of my tires. Get an alignment as soon as you get it.
