Ive read the Continental winter contact SIs are great. Better in snow than xice. I’m deciding between the two since they both seem to last awhile. The R3s being new, don’t have any history regarding longevity.
I’m leaning toward the Continentals.

I just bought a set of x ice 3 with 80%+ tread on them (measure between 8/32 and 9/32)....$500, can't beat that.
There is another set on Kijiji in Toronto FYI. They look ok, but check them thoroughly. Posting as a PSA to help out. Take it or leave it
given they have been posted for a while you can probably talk the guy down. But even at 650 that's 1/2 price of new and if these do have 80% tread it's a great deal.
On my last set of X-ice 3 I drove about 25k km on them, and they still have 75% tread. These things wear extremely well. Had them on my last 2 cars.

Here's another set on Kijiji...I messaged the seller over the weekend before I bought a set and he just replied that they are still available.
***WINTER Set of 4**** 235/50R18 Michelin X-Ice 2 ~~~ VW Tiguan Chevrolet Impala ~~~ 70%tread | Tires & Rims | Toronto (GTA) | Kijiji
They are slightly larger (~ 3% larger diameter...50 vs 45 sidewall) than OEM tires, but I believe they should still work. They are also a previous generation X-ice (2 vs 3), but for $240 and 70% tread that's pretty sweet as its about the cost of a single new xice 3....

Did you look at the manufactured date on the tires?
All winter tires that are older than 5 years are as bad as 4 seasons tires in winter conditions: they lost their elasticity which make them better below 7C (vulcanization).
I can talk by experience... not a good idea...

... not a good idea...I’ve heard back from Jeremy at wheelsco. This is what they’ll do for a group of five or more.
I have discussed the potential of a group buy deal with the owners. As we are currently running an early-bird promotion where alloy wheel and tire packages are eligible for a $100 discount after tax what we could do would be an additional $50 on top of that as well if there were five or more potential members looking to. Package would need to be purchased in full in before October 20th in order to qualify for these discounts. Anything past that date I may definitely still be able to do some sort of discount for group members and group referrals. I have included some wheel options below for you to review with pricing included. These prices do not include HST or tire recycling fee ($3.30 per tire) and tire pressure sensors would be $250/set. I hope this info helps and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me!

Thanks for the information, I'm interested. I don't think the tire prices above include the current manufacturers' rebates right? So can you confirm that the group buy discounts are on top of the tire manufacturer's rebate?
i am interested in the group buy, specifically by the DAI Renn 18x8.0 +35et Graphite - $699/set.
Do you know if the original lug nuts can be used? if not, does it come with the wheels?
and does it need a ring (center bore 66.5mm vs 64.1)?
thanks

I grabbed a set of x ice 3's already, but still interested in rims. Maybe the group buy discount will still apply for that? If so, count me in for some rims...will need to look at them to decide first though...I'm debating getting a nice set and swapping the aero rims over to the winter tires in one shot....
Jeremy emailed me letting me know that if anything else is required it’s included.
thank you.
what do you guys think of this wheel?
Is it strong enough?
I have difficulties finding photos of these wheels on actual cars...
I wonder if the tesla center cap fits also...?

thanks!
Just to let you guys know Costco just posted a set of winter tires that would fit the model 3 (235/45/18), pretty good price. They have listed the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 for $234.99 and $15.00 each wheel for tire install ($60.00). $234.99 is a pretty good deal in my opinion for Michelin's and Costco offers free rotation, balancing, and flat repairs + nitrogen inflation.
Kal Tire was able to do a price match as well if you would like to go there instead, $60.00 for tire installation. They offer essentially the same services such as free rotation, balancing, air, and flat repairs for life of wheel. Also, with the price match they will not accept any other discounts, coupons, etc. I have asked about TOCO discount.
Advantage with Costco, however, is that you get the Road Hazard Warranty.
Advantage with Kal Tire, you get 2 CFL tickets with purchase of Michelin's + Chance to win trip to see Grey Cup? Not too sure if applicable with price matching.
Sorry if someone has already posted something about Costco.

The biggest downside to Costco though is trying to book an appointment with them. This is true in the GTA, outside of the GTA may be better. YMMV I suppose.
I was at Costco Dundas and they told me they don’t install tires on Tesla cars.
Did anyone have a different experience?
Michelin - X-Ice Xi3 and Pirelli - WINTER 240 SOTTOZERO SERIE II been on costco website for a while. It's nothing new. Just search by tire size and filter the results by season. There are more option available if you walk in such as Bridgeston Blizzak and even SOTTOZERO III.
I already asked Costco here in Ottawa (Gloucester #511). They do install and exchange rims and tires on Tesla no problem.
You can book an appointment for Tire Installations, Balance and Rotations or oil change at Costco online at https://www.costcotireappointments.ca.
