I am clearly no expert on this subject but I have been following lots of posts of people wanting to replace worn tires. I have read post after post, plus numerous youtube videos and the bottom line is I still don’t know what to do. My car has 12K miles on it and the OEM Michelins still look great. They did not need a rotation until about 10K miles.
However there are 2 important facts I have learned: weight and torque. The weight of our cars is generally heavier than ICE cars and we spin our tires faster than ICE cars due to the nature of the vehicle. Therefore, I am inclined to make sure to buy tires that are specific for EV cars. Even if you have had great results with tires in the past, does not translate to success with our EV. Of course we need tires with XL ratings. If I had to buy tires today, I think I would buy the same ones the car came with. I am going to make a big assumption (I could be wrong). The assumption is that Tesla knows what they are doing with fitting the car with the proper tires. I don’t need them now, but will in the future. Actually I hope not to buy them because I lease my car and back it goes in 3 years, 2 years left on the lease.
