I should have taken them up on the 50,000km treadwear warranty... I got less than 20,000 on mine but mostly because of the alignment wearing one side to the metal beads.21" Super sport tires at Costco until Nov, the price is actually quite good all things considering. too bad i wont need them until 2018.
I suspect the warranty would exclude improper alignmentI should have taken them up on the 50,000km treadwear warranty... I got less than 20,000 on mine but mostly because of the alignment wearing one side to the metal beads.
I think I got confused, the 265s are HAKKA 8s. I'm getting them installed tomorrow and each tire (from Tunerworks) is $340.Saw this:
Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV - Sale: $349.49 Regular: $361.99 :Size 275/45R20...KAL-TIRE ...
Kal Tire - Shop - Tires - Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV
Have you installed your 4 x 265/45/20 Hakka R2s??..
Sorry, are you installing Hakka 8's on your Model X for Calgary driving?!I think I got confused, the 265s are HAKKA 8s. I'm getting them installed tomorrow and each tire (from Tunerworks) is $340.
Yes. Not sure what your concern is? To be clear they are studless tires, in case that was your concern. If memory serves, I got 265s (square) because 275s were only available in studded.Sorry, are you installing Hakka 8's on your Model X for Calgary driving?!
Interesting. I thought the Hakkapeliitta 8 tires came in only studded form. How does it compare in grip to R2's? TBH, I've found my WRG3 to have ample grip for almost every condition Calgary threw at it last winter.Yes. Not sure what your concern is?

Hmm, the more I look online, the more it seems that the R8 is supposed to be a studded tire. I talked to both Kaltire and Tunerworks about this and I have looked at the tire which seems like it could have studs, but doesn't.I don't know yet. I only just got them on and they haven't seen any bad conditions yet. Other than that, they don't feel/sound much different than the blizzaks I have on my S. Also I've never driven on R2s. My impression is that they are similar to the R2s. haven't really been able to find any useful explanations yet as generally people assume the R8 means studded.
Yeah, it is odd. When researching tires, I don't recall seeing any stats for the 8's in non-studded form. Maybe it would be worthwhile to email Nokian about it. If you do, I'd love to see their response.I'm also not sure what the difference is between the unstudded 8s and R2s.
Do you know that for a fact? It would probably still be more efficient than the turbine rims. Gpetti, does it say "Low rolling resistance" on the sidewall of the tire?My concern with the 8 would be that it isn't a low rolling resistance tire. I wouldn't want that on an electric car, especially if you plan on any long distance driving
According to Nokian, only the R2 is low rolling resistance. (Of their "winter" tires)Do you know that for a fact? It would probably still be more efficient than the turbine rims. Gpetti, does it say "Low rolling resistance" on the sidewall of the tire?
Before our 2013 Model S we had never had heated seats in a vehicle and didn't see the value of them. Reports back then were that the wiper heaters were of little value in real conditions, so we skipped the winter package.This is my first post and want to thank everyone for all the great information on this thread so far it has been very helpful. Also want to send a special thanks to Tomanik for responding to a question that I had. Not only did he reply to me very quickly, but also shared with me a lot of other great information.
I will likely be buying a MS in the coming months and am currently spending my time reading and learning as much as I can. While my current car (Lexus LS 460) has been such a solid car (I think I had really only one warranty issue for a front strut I believe) for the last 9 years, I'm starting to think it may be time for a change and the Tesla is really starting to appeal to me.
The question that I have for people at the moment is if people feel the subzero package is really worth it for those of us here in Alberta. I initially thought it was, but after reading through this thread it sounds like there are a few people that don't have the option. Greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts.
Cheers

Hello and welcome!!
Since heated seats are standard in the front it depends on if you need them in the back and if you care about the heated steering wheel. The windshield wiper heat is kind of useless in my opinion. Feel free to join one of our meet ups to ask more questions in person and talk to owners about their experiences.
