"Blanca" is a 2015 MS that I bought in May 2019 with roughly 23,000 miles. It came with Michelin 21" Pilot Sport 4S's in the non-staggered configuration. I now have accumulated 40,000 miles and have enjoyed every mile. I needed new tires but I wanted an all season tire instead of the performance tire (I live in North Carolina where we experience all four seasons). Our local Discount Tire has taken good care of me through the years and but the only all-season tire they stocked in the 245/35 21" was the Toyo Proxes Sport A/S. It's been only 4 days of use but I am so very pleased that I felt compelled to create my first post. These tires are so, so much quieter than the Michelins. I had become unaware of how much road noise the Michelin's produced but it was a radical difference with the Toyo's. Irrespective of any other issues with longevity, grip or stopping distance I would highly recommend these Toyo's for our otherwise very quiet Tesla's.

New Toyo Tires on my MS

No doubt that you are experiencing lower tread noise, but that's the case for pretty much any new tire vs a worn tire. What is the grip and handling like compared to the 4S?
The Toyo's were installed on a saturday and we had monsoon like conditions on both saturday and sunday so I gingerly tested traction in the rain but didn't push it. Did, however push it on Monday and Tuesday and I was impressed with the grip and handling. That's a bummer to think that the lower tread noise is a product of the newness. I'm really enjoying the quietude and hence why I made my first post in 17 months of ownership.

New tires are great for a lot of reasons. I find the handling also sharpens up a bit after about 1k miles, at least with performance tires.

Idk man.
I just put 4 toyo proxes for my model x. Love them. My BIG name contiselent that are oem for the car sucked. The life was horrible. And the grip not good.
At a fraction of the cost... They do have a long warranty and if they don't last AS long as the bigger names who cares. They are half the price, or less.
they toyo's are good tires.....have similar ones on my Lexus GS350....Quite and lasted 60k....
I just bought new rims which are the same size as yours 245/35/21 and looking for tires. When I plug in Tesla Model S, the Toyo Proxes Sport A/S tires don't come up as a selection. However, when I input by size and it asks me what kind of car it is, it says they fit. Are you still liking these tires? I am more about comfort and low noise than performance. Also looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 but they are very expensive. Any feedback is appreciated.
I've now got about 2,000 miles on the Toyo's. Great traction and performance...& still a lot quieter the the stock Michelins. I'm still very pleased!
I concur.
I have about 5000 miles on my model X with these new Toyo tires. Very pleased. Great traction in the rain and the snow.
they may be a little bit louder at highway speed but difficult to tell. Overall very happy and they were at a great price.
Hey Tardis5 - I just now tuned back into my original post. I had a very good first impression of the Toyo's & 6 months and 2K miles I still have a very good impression. I had a challenging time at work a few weeks ago and turned off all music. The Toyo's remain very quiet, so quiet I kept the music off for a few days for some repose. With only 2K miles, can't really say much about the mileage though tires show no wear whatsoever. I continue to be pleased with the quietness, traction and handling and I continue to recommend highly, irrespective of the tires being more than half the price of the stock Michelin 21" Pilot Sport 4S!
TireRack has this horrible review on Toyo tirs on Model X! is this review not accurate? will it disengage the Autopilots?
NO way. I have this tire--its probably the best in its class. Blows away Pirelli P zero AS and my Michelin Sport AS
Thanks for the info! I was about to get those Toyo til saw that reviews and delayed my replacement for my Eagle F1! Good to know that they are better then Michellins's that was 2nd choice! Road noise was my first concern seem X already had very bad noise insulations!
