It is time to replace the tyres on my S70D. Currently I have GoodYear and I know Tesla currently sell Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (quoted me $1587 + $249 for alignment). Been shopping around and reading comparisons and from local places I can get:
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for $1500
Continental ContiSportContact 5 for $1420
Bridgestone Potenza S001 for $1244 (after $100 cash back for buying 4)
All are 245/45 R19 102Y rating. Prices are fitted but without alignment - quoting about $75 for alignment.
The Continental seems to have good reviews overseas (including some USA Model S owners) and is said to be one of the quietest. Just wondering with any Australian owners have tried either the Continental or Bridgestone tyres and have any feedback? Also is there anything tricky about wheel alignment on an S that justifies Tesla changing $249?
