What tires are you guys using on your Model 3 and Model Y?

[Procal]

I own a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range with the standard aero wheels, and I am around 17,500 miles at 1 day past 1 full year of ownership. Needless to say, I think I only have 1 more year before I need to start thinking about tire replacements (probably less than a year). So my question to you guys is, what tires are you using? Are you sticking with OEM tires like the Michelin Primacy A/S or Hankook Ventus S1 AS? Or are you using other tire brands or similar brands but different models?

I currently have the factory OEM Hankook Ventus S1 AS tires. They aren't terrible but leave a bit to be desired in terms of longevity and wet performance, especially when they start getting on the lower end of their tread life. Noise and comfort is all around pretty good, but I wish it could have that same level of noise reduction without the foam. Having the foam means when you get a flat tire due to a nail or other object, it needs to be removed, sometimes making tire repairs more expensive. Dry performance is great for my needs (not really a spirited driver, and mostly keep it in chill mode).

Anyway, post your thoughts below, let me know what tires I should look at. Currently, on my list of interesting tires are the Michelin CrossClimate 2, Continental ProContact, and Hankook Kinergy EV AS.

I just replaced my OEM Tires to Falken Azensis RS820 on my M3 and so far they are feeling great, but i do not have much experience on wet roads with those yet.

I love the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires on my 2020 MX. They are a tiny bit more noisy than OEM and a bit more expensive but overall they are really, really great.

I actually find it kind of funny, because I was at a tire shop not too long ago. The owner of the shop said that they get a lot of Tesla owners there, including some company owned Teslas, and he mentioned how a lot of them often get Falken tires. I'm guessing it is because of the price to performance aspect of them?

I have seen a lot of reviews about these, and they are definitely very interesting. However, I don't live anywhere near somewhere where it snows at all. As such, the only reason I would have to get them is because of the brand more so than their capabilities. In my opinion, I don't think it is ever worth getting tires that are too inexpensive. It is by far one of the most important things on a vehicle and because of this I don't mind spending extra if it means a safer, more comfortable, and overall better handling ride. Do you by chance have any experience with other Michelin models?
