Which tires did your refresh Model X come with?

I saw a single person last month getting Pilot Sport EV while everyone taking delivery within the past couple months has been getting Continental CrossContact on their 20" wheels. I think his was a Plaid.

Which is better?

My 2022 Plaid 20" came with Pilot Latitude 3 with a front size of 255/45-20 when 265/45-20 is listed in the manual for the US. 255 is listed in the manual for Mexico. I think Tesla was/is shipping whatever tires the manufacturers can deliver. After 20k miles the Latitudes are toast - I'm trying Pilot Sport A/S 4s this time and going with 265/45-20.

Hard to say. I would prefer the Pilot Sport EV as I'm in southern California and they're summer tires but they have a significantly lower treadwear rating. We have the Continental CrossContact LX Sport on our other car and I don't think it's a great tire.

20k isn't too bad. I added the latitude 20s to the poll. Seems like they do come in 255 b/c costco offers the oem 255 size when selecting tires

Cool. I changed my vote. Yeah, I could have replaced them with 255s but I have had some issues with the front pushing in corners and triggering traction control so I'm hoping that the slightly wider tires will help.

I took deliver of an MXP last week and it came with the $hitty 20" Conti's.

I agree, the Contis aren't good. Wife has them on her Mercedes GLC. She drives like a grandma and they're almost toast at 22k. They're not quiet or grippy either. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on my MYP look great at 25k and I drive a lot more aggressively.

My LR 22 came with the Scorpion Zero. My last experience with Pirellis on Audis was fairly negative so I wasn’t expecting much but so far it’s been very grippy and quiet! Will see how it does for occasional light snow this winter.

Wow 25k and still good? Mine were to the metal at 16-17k!
