Another disadvantage is if you do get a flat and drive on the runflat, it is not recommended to repair it, so new tires...They're also generally hated & ride & handle like *sugar*
This is an unanswerable question. What is best for you may not be the best for others for a host of reasons.WDYT? - Is CC2 the best?
It seems like your talking about at idle when there wouldn't be any tire noise to compare it to. My old Camry was very quiet too, sitting in the driveway, but I could hear the engine when I was driving on the highway. My 3 has its own sound profile, different than and ICE and not silent by any means but it is quieter.I see this point coming up a lot, "noisy ICE". Modern engines and sound deadening have gotten ICE cars so incredibly quiet. My Acura MDX with the 3.5 v6 was barely audible. Unless I was in the garage, I would have told you the engine was off.
I've never seen anyone mention that tire.Aloha,
My first post here and I was wondering if anyone has liked these tires from Costco BFGoodrich - g-Force Sport COMP-2? On the Costco site is says "original fitment". These are Summer, but I figure since it doesn't often even get into the 50's here that should be fine? They also have the Pilot Sport 4S Summer for more money and for some reason doesn't have the "original fitment" tag. Today only is a $150 sale for all Michelin so I hope someone sees this and has some advice. I was going to get the Pilot Sport A/S but today they show out of stock.
Mahalo!
Thank you so much for your reply! It appears the A/S are now available and about $100 less, which isn't much. I guess just looking at longer life and efficiency favor the A/S but the performance and handling obviously favor the PS4S. Decisions, decisions...I've never seen anyone mention that tire.
The PS4S is the gold standard for summer tires, especially for overall performance and handling. There are other tires that are better for range, sound, long life etc. If you can get them on sale, do it.
If you won't encounter snow, then you don't need an all season tire.
XL load rating is required. The Tesla is heavy, you don't want your car tire to fail while driving, do you?Hello,
I'm looking to replace my Tesla Model 3 tires at Costco. There are 2 options I'm considering:
Bridgestone POTENZA RE980AS, 235/45R18, 98W, all-season, blackwall tires.
Michelin Primacy MXM4, 235/45R18/XL, 98W, all-season, black sidewall tires.
The original tires on the car were the Michelin ones above, but the Bridgestone is significantly cheaper, so I'd prefer the Bridgestone tires if possible.
My question is whether the XL rating ("Extra Load" ??) on the Michelin is REQUIRED for the Model 3. I didn't find that info listed elsewhere.
I live in a moderate climate area (SFO bay area), with almost no snow/ice on the road.
Any guidance appreciated!
Thanks,
Neil.
Fotunex, you mention other tires that are better for range, longer life. What would those be? (for 18 inch - no winter/snow)I've never seen anyone mention that tire.

After my experiences with my CC2s, I am starting to feel this is true. Took about 15-20 Wh/mi hit with the CC2s.The stock tires are the most efficient and have the lowest rolling resistance. If you want efficiency, stick with stock.

At highway speeds, wind and tire noise far exceed the sound of the power plant.It seems like your talking about at idle when there wouldn't be any tire noise to compare it to. My old Camry was very quiet too, sitting in the driveway, but I could hear the engine when I was driving on the highway. My 3 has its own sound profile, different than and ICE and not silent by any means but it is quieter.
I've had "hit and miss" experiences with Costco tire shops, pretty much the same as with tire shops of all other national chains. It all depends on the competency and decency of the folks who work at a particular location.FWIW, I had a very bad experience at the Cumming, Gerogia Costco tire center. They essentially lied to me, claiming that a tire I wanted was discontinued and then trying to convince me that no one would put that tire on a Tesla (all the while having a glowing add for that same tire taped just above the register). And they were rude about it as well.
Please don't spread the FUD.XL load rating is required. The Tesla is heavy, you don't want your car tire to fail while driving, do you?
