A Tesla tech told me today that my back tires need to be replaced and rather than get the very expensive tires that they sell at Tesla, I am curious what others have used instead. The tires are R19 The trim is Long Range AWD
Costco?
Following
Hankook ION EV AS SUV tires
They now have a cheaper option that are Tesla approved on the app. Kumho EV tires.
Belle Tire
Size should be something like 245/45r19 not just r19. What's the full size?
When I hit some debris and had to replace all 4 I got Goodyear eagles at America’s Tire with the lifetime road hazard warranty.
Cheapest tires that are still decent in order from cheapest to priciest. 1. Kumho Ecsta Sport A/S 2. Pirelli Scorpion Zero A/S Plus 3. Vredstein Quatrac Pro +
If you have snow in the winter, michelin cross climate 2.
Second this suggestion. Amazing in rain and snow. Slight range hit of 5% or so. But they’re pricey, just paid $1600 for a new set about 2 months ago.
I got these last week and have to say, I’m very impressed with the difference they’ve made into road noise and ride quality.
Same as every other MY on 19's.
Ah yes I forgot I should memorize every tire size that goes on every car ever made.
Nice
Michelin Cross Climate 2 or 3. Amazing tires. Got them at Americas Tire but Costco sells them too.
Even if you don’t have snow. These shoes are grippy and reasonably smooth running. $340 at Costco. They are directional and can only be rotated front to back.
Got them 30k miles ago. Love them.
Can you replace only the rears, or must you change all 4?
Fallen Azenis FK460. It was the cheapest performance A/S with a recognizable brand. I drive the piss out of them and very happy with these.
I purchased the same tires for my 2023 and couldn't be more than pleased.
How's the range on them?
I got them. Little hard but for the price it’s good. It will last. Got them at AMerica tire
Tesla has more affordable tires. Tesla-Designed and Tesla-Approved Tires We offer two categories of tires to suit your needs: Tesla-designed tires and Tesla-approved tires. Tesla-designed tires are engineered by Tesla in collaboration with leading tire manufacturers, ensuring seamless integration with Tesla vehicle performance, aerodynamics and software systems. Tesla-approved tires are aftermarket tires that are evaluated by Tesla for your vehicle model and offer excellent performance and overall value. Tesla-approved tires may not contain acoustic foam which could correlate up to a 10% increase in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Tesla-approved tires may also not contain the latest generation materials or be aerodynamically tuned for range as they are not designed by Tesla.

255/50's
Nice
Do you find them rather loud though? I've got a pair and we get a lot of road noise on freeways.
How are they on wet roadways? I'm running cross climate 2's and those things stick like glue
Absolutely fucking terrible in all rain and any snow. People are blinded by the efficiency and quietness. Ride sucks as well from the very stiff sidewall. I don’t get it
Not even knowing the correct name of tires doesn’t inspire confidence in your answer here..
You can do sets of 2 front or back
I keep my eye on tire rack and buy the cheapest tires that are the proper size and load rating. A couple weeks ago they had some Pirelli p zero for $60 each so I bought 8. I’ve run nearly every brand and they will have their positives and negatives but tires are not a lifetime commitment for me so I’ll run pretty much whatever. Don’t over think it.
Nice
I can hear them, but I don’t find them loud.
I put a set of CC2s on my other car (Subaru Outback) and found them quieter and smoother than the ORM Bridgestones. I plan to put them on my ‘23 Model Y LR when it needs new tires (soon).
My Dad has them works great in rain and the ride was very smooth.
It's not so much the cross climate twos versus other normal tires as it is the cross climate twos versus EV specific tires.
Definitely hankook ion ev as
As the top comment mentions the Cross Climate 2s are great tires but expensive. I got a set a few weeks ago and they are much better than the stock Contis in every way.
I don’t find them much louder than the original continentals. I was actually surprised how quiet they were. Suppose I expected them to sound like tractor tires. Any slight negative is vastly outweighed by the traction for me.
