Replacement Tires

[Zompopo]

Discount Tire is recommending Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for my 2022 Model Y LR. I live in Colorado. Any thoughts?

New EV tire options

My Model 3 (with 18" wheels) has about 36,000 miles on it, and it will need new tires soon, so I've been slowly doing research. There's been some chatter in another thread about the new Hankook ION EVO AS EV-specific tires, and I recently heard about a new EV-specific tire from Bridgestone, the...

Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

My 2021 Model Y is at 32,000 miles and needs new tires. I haven't seem much discussion on replacement options. Obviously I can put the same OEM Continental ProContacts back on. I did see Goodyear released the Electric Drive GT - apparently targeted directly at the Model Y (based on the...

I had the Cross Climate 2 tires on my Model 3. Compared to the factory tires that came with the car, they were an improvement in handling in dry and wet weather, and a huge improvement in snow. However, they did cause about a 10% reduction in range, probably because they are not low rolling resistance tires. As for noise, I have read they are a little noisier, but I never really noticed that, probably because I usually have the radio on. I hope this helps!

CrossClimate2 is the best all-around tire you can buy. IMO

Depending on where in Colorado you might want to purchase a separate set of wheels and winter tires. The CC2 is a very good all-season (3 mountain peak symbol) tire but a dedicated winter tire would outperform the CC2 in snow and ice driving. Another benefit of getting a second set of wheels is that you could select 18" wheels that would give you more sidewall than the other size wheels. The additional sidewall depth would theoretically be better able to survive encounters with potholes. In general 18" size tires can cost a bit less. When you have two sets of tires they would last twice as long as you would only be driving on each set for half of each year.

Tesla sells winter wheel and tire packages for the LRMY available with either 19" Gemini or 20" Induction wheels, Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires.

Any major brand winter tire is going to outperform an all-season tire when it comes to starting, braking and handling on snow and ice.

I don’t know if you’d drive on winter tires for half a year though. Maybe if you were on the Arctic (or Antarctic) Circle.
