So I was excited to pickup my M Y Perf in June...love the torque....had a lot of fun pinning passengers heads against that headrest.
BUT, I noted with the first light snow that I was sliding a LOT more than I enjoyed or was accustomed from my Model 3 and several AWD 3 series BMWs. So I finally flipped the car into Chill Mode in early December and thought about snow tires.
NOW we finally had a real snowfall of about 3" over the weekend, and the hold was pathetic, fishtailing on acceleration and braking on straights at 40mph. I was bitching to a friend about it and then we looked at the tires...
I expected the tires to "wear quickly" but I have 10,900 miles on the car and the wear bars are nearly showing, the stock tires are Pirelli PZeros....meanwhile the front tires have at least half of their tread left. Then I started reading here and elsewhere about rear wheel bias and possibly little to no regen with the front tires?
My Qs are -
a) is this severe wear a possible warranty claim?
b) has anyone found any 21" snow or All Season tires? my tire dealer is suggesting 18" new wheels for the winter
c) can I replace just the rear tires? my local guys alway want to do all 4 tires
