Howdy y'all --
I've looked through most posts here mentioning all-season tires on their S Plaids/LRs -- always questions about fitment, sizes, range/efficiency, etc. but I'm only curious about the changes in PERFORMANCE!
Context: I am currently on the stock 19" Tempests (with the P Zeros) on my 2023 Model S Plaid. I love them, I can hit the numbers advertised, but as this is my daily and we like to road trip, I'm strongly considering switching to a more daily-friendly square setup with all-seasons, much like those offered by TSportline. Most likely, I'd opt for the 20x10" square set with the (285) Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s.
My question to fellow Plaid owners: has anyone with a square all-season setup, or at least running PS4AS, tested their 0-60mph or 60-130mph times? Or at least, does it feel any different? Do you struggle for traction, either from a dig or roll, with the all-seasons?
Yes, I understand that if you're sporting all-seasons you probably aren't worried about hitting a perfect 9.4s 1/4 time or 1.98s 0-60 times...
No, I'm not drag racing the thing in the snow or mud or rain, and I understand that there will likely be some compromise in performance -- I'd just like to understand by how much!
I switched from stock Überturbines + P-Zero to a 19" TS5 + CrossClimate 2s on my Model 3 Performance and noticed no change in performance whatsoever, but the Plaid has twice the power.
Thanks in advance!
