Greetings fellow Model Y drivers!
My 2021 Model y original tires are pretty much shot at 21K miles (Continental). I've never experienced a set of tires wearing out so fast, though I've reading it's pretty common with these cars. I was hoping to make it through the winter but it doesn't seem possible.
I have always been a fan of Michelin and was going to buy a set of Pilot Sport A/S 4, but have been hearing good things about the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06+ lately. Tire Rack rates the Contis #1 and the Michelins #2. Both are excellent.
With Michelin's rebate at Costco now they are about the same price. So... which to buy.
I am hoping to get some inputs from people who have owned one or both of these tires and what your thoughts were. We have moderate snow/ice so some degree of winter performance is necessary, but not dedicated snows. Grip (wet and dry) and longevity are most important, noise is probably second.
I must admit I am a little concerned about buying Continentals given how fast the OEMs wore out. I am hoping they were not characteristic of Continental products. I may have been driving a little too spirited as it's just too much fun playing with instant torque. I plan to tone it down a notch on the new set.
Thanks for any help.
