I have a P3D- and I just put the Goodyear Exhilarate on the stock 19" wheels. Prior to these I had the OEM Continentals, and prior to that I had the stock 18" wheels with Michelins. Here are my observations so far:
- 18" OEM Michelins (294 Wh/mi) - I really liked these tires, but my wife hated the wheels. Good grip, and comfortable. Under hard acceleration, the side-walls compress and the car feels like it's surfing, but you're just moving around on the sidewalls. Good in the wet.
- 19" OEM Continentals (318 Wh/mi) - stiff sidewalls with excellent turn-in. My daughter hates these because she says that she can no longer draw in the back seat since they are very jiggly. The grip well in the dry, not as well as the Michelins in the wet. Very planted feeling and predictable, and I like my cars a little busy riding. Replaced at 21,307 miles as they were down to the wear bars and the rainy season is coming (I live in Portland, OR).
- 19" Goodyear Exhilarate (TBD Wh/mi) - I picked these since they were the best in the wet for the stock size/load. They seem just as quiet and ride somewhere between the two OEM options I have experienced, but closer to the Continentals. Less jiggly, but bigger bumps seem slightly more noticeable now since they come from more peace than before. They are a nice compromise for me, but if you are a turn-in feel snob, the OEM Continentals felt better, but don't grip any better. I am tracking my consumption and plan to report back when I have sufficient mileage. There is no squeal from these tires either, so no problem there.
So you never got the 20" Wheels when you bought the car?
A good way to suppress jiggly is to use wider tires. I have 19" wheels and I will certainly get 245 or 255 for the next set of tires.
The reason is to get a softer ride and also to get a better protection of the rims to avoid curb rash.
Note: On a previous car, I had a CD player, and the discs where constantly skipping when there was a bump.
After using wider tires, Yokohama Advan with 205 width instead of 185 (mostly for the look), I never had any problem with my CD player.
Funny story, I reset my trip odometer for the new tires when I dropped it off at the shop.
When I got it back, it had .2 miles and 1107 Wh/mi consumption.
I didn't complain as I was more amused than annoyed,
but it seems like a really bad habit for the auto shop industry.
You should have
limited the Speed limit to the minimum, I believe 50 mph, which can only be changed using your PIN.
This can be set remotely using your App.
Also,
you should have set the Valet mode to limit the acceleration.
Using your App you could have check the location of the car.
Note: If the shop needed to set the Service Mode (they need to be Tesla Certified),
then they would have to ask you to remove the Valet mode as I believe they are not able to do that otherwise.
For the story, I set previously the Speed limit to 50 mph when giving my car to the body shop, and I forget to remove it when I took my car back.
When I was on the freeway, I had big trucks behind me and I was on a two lanes bridge with any possibility to pull over for the next few miles.
I still remember pressing as hard as I could on the accelerator without any success. This was not a comfortable situation...
