Hi All,
I have owned several luxury cars including a Tesla Model S for many years. But a year ago I feel like I made the mistake of swapping out my S for a Model Y long range with the horrid 20" induction wheels. OK maybe that's not fair. The wheels are fine but the GoodYear tires that the Model Y comes with are absolutely garbage. They barely handle well in rain and they are downright dangerous in snow. Prior to this Model Y, despite living in northern states and the midwest, and having extensive experience with snow driving, I have NEVER had to swap out my tires for a winter tires. But this time around I am compelled to purchase winter tires because the stock tires from Tesla on my MY are the rock bottom worst!!
From my research I have seen that everyone's favorite is the Michelin X-Ice Snow, which is fine and has good reviews and if all else fails, I will go for this tire.
But going back to my 'past life' experience of never having to swap out winter/summer tires --> can you all recommend some solid all season tires for the 20" induction wheel that would work well all year round on my Model Y including in snowy conditions? I am just trying to go for an option wherein I won't have to go through the hassle of swapping 2x a year.
I greatly appreciate your recommendations and thank you in advance for your response to this thread.
