12.5k update Efficiency has reached 2.38 MPK after 12,500 miles my overall picks: #1 - Geolandar CV 4S 33” for handling and ride comfort #2 - Goodyear OEM 33” almost on par with CV 4S #3 - 34” OEM Pirelli - terrible ride Will likely try the General HTS 60 next, or maybe the Michelins, or...

There is very little oil left, so won’t be an option to drive gas-guzzlers for much longer… No matter how you slice it, the world appears to have an extremely limited amount of “cheap and easy” oil left. In the U.S., much of the remaining production is no longer cheap conventional oil. It is...

Get the 295/50R22 Michelin and keep your range (116H)

makes sense to me, ~8% efficiency drop for a tire that is 16% heavier…not bad at all…

Not sure if already mentioned but I believe the ION HT still has a 100-day trial period, I'd definitely give them a shot and review tread depth at 30 day intervals, then if all is good keep them and otherwise can turn em back in and get the Michellins...

You could try this: A) Reset trip B meter B) at the end of the drive, record the 3 values C) right before your next drive, log the values D) repeat you will likely start to see patterns where the vehicle is consuming energy and your efficiency drops but kWh usage does not increase. The idle...

I didn’t read all the replies but if having more sidewall is not of any interest, maybe having 25x more options is? I count ~250 options that fit 20” rims and 10 or less that fit 21” rims. Also willing to bet the most efficient tire will be 20”…just a hunch.

Maybe you could try the Cosmo Gripit XT and let us know what you think? https://simpletire.com/brands/cosmo-tires/gripit-xt?srsltid=AfmBOoqbqHNkwGnooFdQGCQtQDERu_-fX2VdBWqGANujmYwPmIy6VRTW

Have used it a ton, the lane changes are absolutely terrible, it struggles with the simplest task. My 2016 Model S handles lane changes flawlessly on the other hand…in the current version it’s a $0 feature, I will miss it slightly on unimproved roads but until it can match or exceed 2016 Tesla...

Got it, so what would you get instead?

Any Dual Standards with the GYs?

A little hard to follow, 20s or 21s? Keep in mind your efficiency changes with speed and temp Hot and going slow? There’s 3.0 MPK Cold and driving fast? Now your only getting 1.6 MPK At the end of the day you are getting a great tire that costs a bit less than the Pirelli…

Tend to agree with you, but I’d have to be going off road weekly/monthly or more frequently to justify the penalty (efficiency and drivability), extra tread and longer tire life is a nice bonus.

Yes, Toyo AT3 EV is the correct answer, can get it in SL if not towing (45#) or LT if towing or want heavy duty use (55#)

@LL75 can tell you his experience, if you are ok with trade off of shorter tread life for better efficiency then they are a great choice. They pair very well with the super light AW rims.

It doesn’t matter much short term, if you run different pressures over 10,000 miles, then it will likely have an impact. If you can keep your tires within 3 psi of one another there is likely no real long term impact. However I’m not aware of any studies that specifically evaluated this.

Quick update, wear rates for the CV 4S and GY Wranglers (OEM) are about the same, since the CV 4S starts with a little bit more tread depth it's going to get slightly more miles than the GY's. I think it's a pretty good tradeoff and makes a very strong case for getting the GY's instead of the CV...

Who will be the first Guinea pig for the Entry Level Highway Terrain Tire? Quick Specs: -Size: 275/60R20 -Weight: ~39 lbs (very light for this size) -Load / Speed: 116H -UTQG: 700AA -Style: Blackwall -Type: Highway Terrain / All-Season -Price: ~$116 per tire Overview: Designed for SUVs...

Ion HT:

Ok, not sure what your priorities are, but the Hankooks, Michelins, or Toyos seem like a better value than the GY ElectricDrive… My preference would also be an XL over an SL (LT if towing/offroading): Rivian doesn’t really fit the standard load vehicle definition: passenger cars, crossovers...
