Well, as I’ve said before, I’ve never complained about the ride of any other car I’ve owned, so my expectations were not even a luxury ride, just a decent one, but it didn’t even meet that.Remember, you didn't pay that much for a luxury car with a luxury ride -- you paid that much for a big, efficient battery and good software.
If your criteria is range, then you should rely on your own experience with the tires, and in your particular case Pirelli is the winner. My criteria is overall performance, so I relied on multiple professional reviews of these tires (Pirelli is always behind the the two). Continental and Michelin are consistently the top 2, but I chose Continental DSW06 Plus because it’s consistently quieter and more comfortable than Michelin PS A/S 4. It also helped that the size I wanted (255/50r19) is available in DWS06 Plus and not in Pilot Sport A/S 4.I had Pirelli Cinturao P7, then Michelin Primacy MX, and now Continental Extreme Contact DWS06.
Of the three, my favorite is still Pirelli. Second would be Michelin. The Michelin after 30k miles, I average 290 Wh/Mi. The Continental, currently after 4K on them I averaging 305 Wh/Mi. The Pirelli was a tad below 285.
Quiet, Pirelli wins.
Longer lasting, Michelin.
Not too crazy with Continental.
OEM I think was Bridgestone when it was new.

if more comfort is desired, look at 255/50/19 sizing.I’m looking for new tires, too and have the same goals.
Michelin Pilot Sport, Cross Climate and Vredestein Quatrac pro have been mentioned quite a bit. THe cross climates and pilots have a better tread wear rating but I’m probalby more concerned with the ride and comfort than the treadwear.
I agree; when I get new tires literally all that will matter is sound and 'smoothness'.Thanks for the Cross Climate 2 idea. I have never run dedicated 'snows' on any of my cars - but my Prius (the car before the Y) benefited from the 'All Weather' Celsius option...
So much tire discussion I've found seems to be centered on getting better performance etc. I'd be willing to trade performance for quieter ride and better efficiency. (I drive all the time in 'Chill' so clearly performance doesn't matter to me...)
I was in the same boat in Feb when I needed to replace the rear tires to pass inspection - there were no other real options so more contis it was. At least I could just get 2 for now.Well, I gave up and ordered more continentals. Conti pro contact. Had to do something in order to pass state inspection. They get put on this next week. I’ll report back …..
appointment done. too early to report back, but the short drive home wasn't too noisy.Well, I gave up and ordered more continentals. Conti pro contact. Had to do something in order to pass state inspection. They get put on this next week. I’ll report back …..
Its going to be Goodyear ElectricDrive GT or Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 tires for me next round
I am curious about this tire too. They got good rating as you mentioned but I am not willing to sacrifice 10% or more on efficiency. Waiting on someone to test the efficiency comparing to the OEM Continental Procontact RX.Anyone out there running Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack 255/45-19 on their MY? I've not used on my Teslas but have in the past on other makes and found them to be quiet, comfortable and long-wearing. They seem well rated on TireRack among Tesla owners.
The suspension will break in over the first 3000 miles or so. Experiment with the tire pressure. Many prefer setting the tire pressure (measured when the tires are cold, not been driven for 3 hours) down to 38 PSI. Some, myself included set the tire pressure to 43, 44 or 45 PSI and have found that the ride improves. You will have to experiment a little, then decide.We only just took delivery of our MY 10 d ago (Austin-built MYLR) and I'm already looking forward to different tires to improve the rough ride!
I guess there is no way that Tesla service would allow me to trade in essentially new tires for a different brand...
(I know I could remove and try to re-sell the Conti's online here, but don't want to go through that hassle.)
