yes, its the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus

I run the dws06+ on my cars, no matter the car, best tire ever as far as the handling/wet grip/dry grip/comfort/longevity goes, Like it so much I tried the continental terrain contact a/t on my truck and swear by those too! for my model Y i chose to go 275/40/20 as the 255 does not give much rim protection, I can say I have about a 7 to 8 % range loss from this oversized tire to the stock conti rubber (which is horrible!) cannot go wrong with DWS06+

Just to give you guys a small update - my CC2 now has about 35k miles of use, about 70% of that are on highways.
I still have about 50% treadwear remaining.
I don't baby my tires. I do accelerate hard when needed, but not an aggressive driver by nature. And of course, since FSD is on 90+% of the time, it does unnecessarily hard acceleration and braking which I'm sure didn't help.

Did you factor in the extra diameter in your milage? You are going 7.8% further per 275 wheel rotation than a 255.
Maybe we aren't looking to compare same tyres?
Greencoffee changed from stock 255/40/20 to 275/40/20.
You've got this wrong, the 1st # in this case 255 to 275 does not determine the revolutions. The 1st # is the width of the tire. The second # lets you know of the rubber length from the rim to the outer tire edge which determines the revolutions per mile, effecting the odometer and speedometer.

this is correct.
(((255mm X .4) / 25.4mm/in) X 2 sidewalls) + 20" wheel = 28 inches diameter
(((275mm X .4) / 25.4mm/in) X 2 sidewalls) + 20" wheel = 28.7 inches diameter
Greg, hopefully this is simple enough explanation. So yes, the sidewall (aspect ratio) very well may increase the diameter size from the bottom of the tire to the top of the tire. Tire Size Explained: What the Numbers Mean | Les Schwab
Apparently I do. To go away and bang ones head on a wall is to admit a Homer Sinpsonesque error that results in the expression DOH!!
