Let's talk winter tires for the 3

[टेस्ला]

looks like Tesla has increased the price to $2,700.00 + tax

Damn, I wish I had ordered them before the increase. Now I'm not sure if I will.

$2700 is absurd for those tires. Even at $2400 it was expensive, but you get the benefit of having Tesla swap out for you and whatnot. You can find alternatives that are superior in the low $2000s.

Which ones and where do you install them?

4 Wheels
4 TPMS
4 Balanced
4 Tires
4 Aero Covers
4 Wheels mounted

$2000 USD is very reasonable
current exchange rate is $2665 CAN

Exchange rates are probably the reason for price change. USD price didn’t change.

Either that, or this is a tariff increase/change.

Tariffs might affect the US price but if done properly, should not affect the Canadian price directly. Even if it went from China to US to Canada, Tesla should be able to claim the duty drawback going into Canada.

Interesting enough, Tesla gets it wheels from both China and Mexico at the same time:

Well the price increase seals the deal. I was going to go with the Tesla set for winter and deal with the Sottozero Serie II (not my first pick for winter tire) but with the increase it likely makes sense to go with aftermarket wheels + Michelin X-Ice and TPMS. Probably cost about $2000-2200 and $70 Michelin MIR.

After a friend got his wheels at Handler Wheels, I've done the same. Karim at Handler Wheels has been great. And the guy who did my PPF here in Montreal also recommended Handler Wheels.

Yes - seems to be back to $2400. Wonder if this is a mistake - or if the $2700 price was.

When I checkout it's showing "$2,700.00"

 

[malou]

it's the "sale" price

Can i just order tires and wheels from costco and get the Aero cap ordered from the Tesla store?
Is there something specific about installation of the tires, configuration of the TPMS sensors that is Tesla specific that would prevent me from buying from costco or costco installing them?
Will 17'' wheel work?
Can i use steel wheels?

Steel wheels work with Tesla, but highly likely not 17" wheels.

Depends on what wheels and what tires you get. Contact Handler Wheels and they'll give you a quote over phone/email

I am currently planning to go with Michelin - X-Ice Xi3 from Costco, based on its performance & price. After reading several reviews, I heard these are better than those all season factory ones for noise. Also considering Costco's perks with tire purchases, I doubt if anyone else can beat that price for the tire. During next summer, maybe I will shop around for rims, TPMS, etc.

Does anyone knows if Costco will have issues in installing them? I live in Vancouver area.

I was just at Costco today. They won’t install the X-ice or Sottozero 2’s as the ones they carry aren’t at a high enough speed rating. Apparently Michelin is the only tire manufacturer that will allow one lower than recommended but the X-ice still isn’t high enough. I asked if there’s any way even if not recommended. They said they will not install anything (speaking about winter only) other than Pilot Alpin.
