This is one of the best done short reviews on a tire that I’ve seen. Bravo. After a recent blowout of a Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (Tesla’s 20” OEM for the 2021 Model Y LR), I was prompted to shop for tires and quickly came to the conclusion that Tesla’s electric smarts don’t translate to tires. I like it that your review highlights the important stuff without going too deep into the weeds.
Came back and gave this a thumbs up for the dogs! These tires were much quieter than my Pilot Sport All Season 4's. However, they took my 0-60 from 3.45 seconds to 3.56 seconds (including 1ft roll-out). They also took my 60-0 braking from 115ft to 128ft. I have not tested them in the rain, yet. They are identical in efficiency. They are MUCH QUIETER! and the car rides much softer. This is on an EV6 GT, comparing Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, all in OEM sizing.
I got these in 20” for my MYLR!! They changed my life! I felt like I had an all new suspension. The also run super quiet! No lie these are the bee’s knees’!!
Also got these for my Model Y long range 20 inch tires to replace OEM Goodyear after 30,800 miles. The ride quality seems better as my wife even noticed the Tesla was less harsh on bumpy roads in my town.
They're absolutely quieter, they might be smoother riding, but they're much stiffer for turning. They don't want to turn, they want to go straight. It's a different feel, i'll get used to it im sure this a 23 model 3 performance
Put a pair on the front of my, originally Michelin shod, Model 3 LR last week. Car feels much more planted, with some improvement to the ride. Guess I’ll replace the Ms with Hankook when wear dictates.
These Hankooks have a tread wear rating of 600. Very good. The OEM Continental ProContacts have a tread wear rating of only 400. Should get much better mileage with the new tires.
I live in southern California, where the sun is so intense that the glass roof turns the interior into a solar oven in the summer. Wrapping the glass roof pearl white makes a night and day difference!
lol. I'm at 19k miles on my 19" gemini continentals on my Model Y Performance. The back tires are done for lol. Front ones are okay for now. But I, too, will go for the Hankook evo ion as suv. (As for the 21" uberturbines... haven't used them since I got the car.)
I did the same switch to Gemini wheels with continental tires from my 21 inch Uber turbine wheels on my 2021 YP with p zeros ( back tires only lasted 22,000 at 1100 a pop!😮
@@Chris21709 I had a set of Michelin cross climate on my model X for about 1.5 years. The front tires only lasted about 18k miles while the rear tires are still good. Just replaced them with these Hankook tires.
$256 each where I bought them, including balance and mounting. By stock tires do you mean tires used for gas cars? Prices vary greatly by brand and model. See tirerack.com for discount prices for Michelin, Pirelli, regular Hankook, etc. EV-specific tires are a new thing.
I mean whatever tesla recommends for tires. Like the tires you'd get if you took it to tesla for service. I haven't had to replace my tires yet on my S
@@Skippy-Jason-Rock Tesla seems to change its OEM tires almost every year as tire tech evolves. Continental > Pirelli (MY), Michelin>Pirelli (MS), Michelin>Hankook (M3). What they put on your car is not what they are putting on the new Model S. I suspect Tesla service would give you a choice, same as an independent tire dealer. Plus all-season or performance, etc.
Never checked it. Get all my electricity from my solar + battery system so not concerned about efficiency. Did notice yesterday afternoon in very hot weather the charge dropped more than normal with the A/C blasting. 🙂
Even though you don't care, could you share your wh/mi since last charge of at least 50 miles? I'm curious to know what you get, even if you drive like a mad man. Lol
In middle of charging now. 307 Wh/mi most recent local driving this morning (cool). 285 Wh/mi which covers the longer trip yesterday with air conditioning on high.
@Chris21709 sounds like it shouldn't hurt my efficiency much lol Might even be more efficient depending how spirited you're driving. Haha Considering my original tires are lasting over 28k miles, I think that's a good sign that efficiency will be better than what you got. Haha That and I got wheel covers that actually make it more efficient. I'm excited. I'll likely be getting a set after my 4000+mile roadtrip to Florida.
Never checked. My large solar + battery system provides all the free electricity I use for my car and my all-electric house, so not something I care about. 🙂
