I can't wait to see how these new Goodyears start performing out on the road and hopefully get tire rack tested
 
I believe most want a comfortable, quiet and long lasting tire. That being said I do have my sights on Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack 255/45-19 all around for the Y simply because the ratings are really good especially in comfort/quietness and with a tread wear at 800, (UTQG) warranty milage at 80,000 miles, it just looks like a great choice overall.

Biggest issue with heavy EV's is premature tire wear. They seem to just get worn down to nothing in no time or are the Tesla OEM tires just pure garbage in the wear department? The 3 year replacement warranty on these is rather attractive if they do not live up to their longevity specs. Unfortunately I use dedicated winters so 4 1/2 months of the year I am on different tires. Those who can get around all year on all seasons are well covered though. Quiettrack

I think there will be a lot of "EV dedicated tire" advertising going on in the near future. Not too sure there is a big difference except for the fact is says EV on them which may just boil down to advertising/increasing sales in the end. Once a few are available and have had comparison tests in all categories we will be able to see whats best for our individual needs. In the mean time, I am pretty sure I will go with the Turanzas.

Agreed. I would think if you are marketing as an "EV Tire" you at least need to address efficiency (LRR).

Problem is the better the LLR the less sticky they are and therefor traction/safety is reduced or at least this is how I look at it. Then comes the LLR ratings, I assume they are just as unreliable as most ratings giving you an "idea" of what to expect more than anything else.

I tend to look at good hydroplaning properties of summer tires and good ice capabilities of winter tires as those are the 2 criteria I am most concerned about that may affect my driving safety.

Could not care less if a winter tire performs well in 12" of snow, the snow plow comes by more often than the city bus so roads are always plowed to perfection, mostly compacted snow and ice one needs to deal with in the brunt of winter.

I installed 255/45-19 Bridgestone Turanzas around Christmas and have driven approx 5,100 miles since. They are noticeably quieter than the stock Continentals while the energy consumption seems to be comparable or at the most 5-10% higher. I have to wait till spring to compare these two under similar weather conditions (my car was delivered last week of March 2021). Turanza snow traction is decent for them being all season tires, nothing exceptional.
