Hello everyone,
The OEM Pirellis on my MY '21 Model 3 Performance have worn down to below tolerance after only driving less than 7k miles on them. I'm pretty spirited in my commutes, so it was somewhat expected they wouldn't last past the 12k mark. I'm surprised that I only got less than 7k out of them, however. In search of new tires, I decided to take a risk on the new FK460s by Falken. Researching them, and reading the limited reviews, the value and potential extended treadwear life was appealing. The tires are all-season, come with a 50k treadwear warranty and a 500 AA treadwear rating, which is more than double the Pirellis. I recently had them installed at a local tire shop after purchase and delivery from TireRack.com which appears to be one of the few outlets that carry them.
In my limited experience driving (less than 500 miles) with them on, these are considerably quieter than the Pirellis on city roads and even more so on freeways. The grip on the tires is comparable to the OEM Pirellis and perhaps exceeding them in wet conditions and I've driven both in dry and wet conditions. Stopping distance utilizing regen breaking seems to be outstanding. Can't really praise them enough, and they're less than half the price of the Pirellis or the Michelins. I got them for $172 bucks per, so all-in-all, about $900 bucks with install including tax.
