No car company can void a warranty for non-OEM wheels, as long as the size/load-rating is within auto manufacturers' specs.

Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder why the complete opposite quality of ride? Maybe one of the tires is defective?, or improperly balanced?
I did install Redwood Motorsports Ohlins, but prior to the ElectricDrive install. My MY with the RW Ohlins and ElectricDrive's installed has and incredible ride and is quiet. The road noise has been reduced to the point that the wind noise is louder than road noise.
Discount tire had mine set to 44 cold and they’d get up to 46 quick. I think that had a lot to do with how rough the ride was. I took them down to 40 psi cold and they’re better
Now I'm at 56k miles, and I can't recommend the continental tires. they were noisy and are already worn out. some of that is attributable to a bad knuckle in the rear suspension I just had fixed (took it to tesla thinking it was a bearing going bad...). but I don't think its even worth pursuing a 'treadwear warranty' claim. thinking that I need to go to a different tire shop - one that is will/able to do a full alignment. TownFair tire wouldn't touch a marginal front camber and that can't have helped the wear pattern.
gonna start wading through this thread (and others) for tire ideas...

Mind sharing pictures? I am looking for a three season tire (I have winters), and the Eagle Exhilarates look like a good option.
Side profile (wondering how stretched they look), and sidewall would be great if you don't mind. Thank you!

Close. Very hard to really discuss tire noise on a Tesla since it's dead silent to start with. I feel like I hear everything else around me in this car
MYLRLINYC: "Ride is a *sugar* ton better tho."...with the new Goodyear Exhilirate, NOT the Goodyear EV tires, right?
How many miles were on your OEM ContiPros?
When I swapped my OEM ContiPros, with around 30k miles on them, for Michelin PilotSport A/S 4s, I thought the same. Quieter, smoother, and for sure, better grip all around (although never out in snow!)
Now at 17k miles on the Michelins, I'm not so sure. As the tread has worn, the rubber underneath is (probably) harder, and my perception is the ride has become noticeably more harsher and noisier, mostly road surface imperfections, tar strips, grooved pavement.
YMMV!

Yes never had the EV Goodyear's. My Goodyear shop advised against them when I asked. My contis were new. I don't like foam inside tires lol
