My 19" S is on the 2nd set of Goodyear Eagle RS-A2. They are cheap at $182 and I really have no problem with them. They seem to last ~ 40K mi and I use 320 wH/mi @ 80 mph. I am in FL and don't need all season tires and wonder if it is worth it to get the $300 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 with eco and quiet running? They may not use less juice or be noticeably quieter. For more money they may wear out quickly being Summer high performance. Anyone switch from those ones to the other?Hi Folks
I need opinion of this esteemed group
I need to replace my original tires to new 19 inch tires. I am looking for a tires which give a smooth comfortable ride which hopefully will last at least 30000 miles

I just had the Elects installed at Discount Tire. (Also available at Tire Rack) Replaced the P7 Plus II tires under warranty that lasted only 19,000 miles. Much quieter than the P7's, but time will tell. There is a large selection of tires available now with foam on the inside of the tire that claim to be engineered for "electric driving".I highly recommend Pirelli P Zero AS Plus Elect. These are designed for ev’s. Discount Tire has them.

That is exactly what I did - I processed a warranty claim with Pirelli as the Cinturato P7 AS II Plus tires were down to 4/32 at close to 19,000 miles, and in less than 2 years. The AS Plus 2has been discontinued, and replaced with the AS Plus 3 . I'm finding the P Zero Elect to be really quiet, as they use a similar foam configuration within the tire as the Continental. Unknown if they will make it to 50K, but it's a definite improvement over the P7'sI used p7 plus All season, oem, and continental purecontact. The most comfortable and least noisy is the continental. The most range would be the p7, but very slightly. Probably 290wh/mi vs 293wh/mi for the p7. I get around 30-35K miles out of my tires. Continental is still up in the air, but base on the way it is going, ill be way short of its 70K miles warranty. So make sure you buy tires with warranty so they can prorate you the difference when replacing them. Perrelli does have the p7 plus AS II, but I have not tried those. I gave up on the P7 after they failed twice to get any where near the warranty they claimed. And they feel very harsh when it is near its end of life.
@myoda what tire size did you use for the rears of your Model S as I heard that Pirelli P Zero AS+ Elects doesn't support 285/40R19? I have a 2017 model S with 255/45 front and 285/40 in the rear.I just had the Elects installed at Discount Tire.

I like these tires too. I've had the OEMs (were they Continentals?), Goodyear Eagle Touring (3 pairs) Michelin Pilot Sport and Michelin MXM4 on my 2016 Model S and I think these Exhilarates are my favorite and a good price. Thank you to some of the posters who reviewed them. Heads up to some who haven't had this problem: if you buy 3rd party and not through Tesla, they will not tow you to Tesla service and repair your tire. This is the downside of not going through Tesla service. But the economics are still better of having AAA and getting a tow to your 3rd party shop.I’m using the goodyear eagle exhilarate® tire and like them a lot.
Here is my update on the pure contact ls. It is definitely more comfortable, but the 70K warranty is way out of proportion. I am on my last 5K miles and I have only put around 15K miles since the tire change. I might go back to cinturanto p7 plus since they have the 2nd gen version and maybe better. The first version lasted around 25-30K miles.Since both are mentioned in this thread, how do the PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS ELECT compare to the CONTINENTAL PURE CONTACT LS?
Need new tiers and both are priced about the same, and both seem pretty good.
CONTINENTAL PURE CONTACT LS for $253/ea with 70k mi warranty or the PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS ELECT for $265/ea with 50k mi warranty?
