Tires Tesla or SUMITOMO

I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.

I'm very happy with my [Sumitomo HTR Z III](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Z+III), for an affordable high performance tire. It's not going to last 60k miles, but it was a lot of fun slaying the Tail of the Dragon.

I have been using the Sumitomo HTR A/S P02s for the last 80k (just go 3rd set on front) as a good compromise in price and quality.

I had a good experience with Sumitomo htr a/s p02.

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.

running 40psi, when i go to the track, i keep it at about 38 and check and let out hot air as i go each lap, ill go from 35 to 50*f after a few laps so i always am messing with air. 205/40ZR-17 SUMITOMO HTR Z II 17x8 Axis OG Europa SDC

I had the HTR+ a few years back...wouldn't recommend it for someone who is looking for a reliable track tire or a super performance tire...but I was quite surprised how well it did for everyday driving and the occasional spirited lapse in judgement...LOL...price was very nice too

The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.

I've had the sumitomos before. they were ok, quieter but not very grippy. They looked awesome though. They also sucked when it was cold ( turned into bricks and thumped until they warmed up )
