I had a 2022 MYLR with the Continental ProContact tires. I thought they rode and held up well, although I did feel and hear the cracks in the road. With the MY suspension being firm, it was hard to tell if the suspension or tires was more responsible In our Colorado snow (not a huge amount of snow and roads are plowed pretty well) they did well enough that I didn't see a need for snow tires around town. Driving high speed over passes would be different.
I just picked up a 2024 Austin MYLR and it came with Pirelli Scorpion MS tires made for EVs. It looks like these are expensive tires since they are listed at $422 each at Tire Rack. I've only had the car a few days but the tires do run a bit smoother and quieter than the Continentals. However this may be because they are new. They seem to handle well on dry pavement and have foam for a quieter ride and supposedly have lower rolling resistance. I was getting about 245 Whr/mi on the Continentals overall, and am getting about 260 Whr/mi so far on the Pirellis. But it's winter and the tires are new so I think that will improve enough to do better long term than the Continentals.
We've got a good snow storm coming tomorrow and it will be interesting to see how the tires do in the snow. However, I've got a PPF appointment next week and may not want to get the car dirty so I might wait for the next storm to try them. There are only three reviews at Tire Rack so far, and one is negative regarding snow performance. I wouldn't be surprised because while the tires do have pretty deep grooves in the rolling direction for rain, I don't see much in the way of cross grooves for snow. I hope the AWD helps.
