Looks good, BUT..I've found that Tire Warranty's can sometimes be as sound as mattress and luggage warranties..
Unless purchased and installed at a Costco, Sam's, etc. Sometimes they add additional warranty type coverage above and beyond mfr

Where did you find these? I am looking on Tire Rack but can't see the 245 variant.

I see them at discount tire.

The biggest problem with getting tire warranty honored is they usually require even wear. That pretty much voids the warranty for all Teslas.

I was advised the 245s are planned to start production in April.. also, the rears would have a 27500mi warranty due to the staggered fitment. These could be a great option here in the PNW.

Read the fine print of the warranty...I have a feeling it’s something much less than full refund or free tire without a ton of exclusions

I bet the warranty is cut in half for staggered setups.

I tried ordering them from Discount Tire, but was advised that front tires are not yet released / back-ordered and they don't know when the tires will be available. I really wanted to be able to use my Arachnids year round, but I guess the search continues.

weather in Charlotte isnt conducive to the Pilot Sports year round?

Great find!

The Quatrac Pro @ 40k warranty (1) was a nice change from the summer rubber, but I ran those Advan Sport AS on my Q50 before and loved them. 90D here, so no stagger making that 245 a tempting option next time.

Considerations
Vredestein - $188 per tire = 239 miles per dollar (warranty)
Yokohama - $269 per tire = 204 miles per dollar (warranty)

Sure is. 27.5k for the rears.

Tirerack will order them too, fwiw. I got a comparable quote to the Discount Tire price but didnt order since I have probably my last season of summer rubber to burn thru first! I'm hoping others can run them and report back with a short term review by this Fall.

Reviving an old thread but I ended up going with the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 from Costco. It's a great option worth adding to the conversation. Not cheap ($150 off a set right now, fwiw) but they come with a 45k mile warranty and I can't find anything that halves that for my staggered fitment. Tbh, the 5 yr Road Hazard warranty on 21s was a big selling point for me. Seattle roads are terrible.
