Looks good! How’s the ride and road noise?

I don’t personally think it’s worth the range loss to daily ATs. I live in Moab and have yet to take my CT on anything resembling a trail that would require AT tires in 15k+ miles of mostly freeway driving… I’d rather have more range.

I live in Colorado and go up into the mountains a lot during the winter time . Wanted something that offers better traction in the snow than the AS tires .

I'm planning on getting these tires when the AT stock tires wears out. Really curious a out the range impact positive or negative compared to factory tires.

I basically live between several locations in the mountains and used to drive in every Utah storm (700k miles on my fleet) at all hours of the day (think no plows, zero visibility) and there’s no chance that I would be running AT tires in my fleet especially if you’re just “occasionally” going up into the mountains. Those are fine for off roading but they aren’t usually siped for all around variable temperature wet traction (with exceptions of course). If you want the best all around conditions traction you want to start with a good AS tire which for my fleet were Yokohama YK580s and get them siped at Les Schwab (or whatever shop that will sipe them). This gives you optimal noise, tire wear, and range.

The trade offs are not worth it IME vs just having better driving skills/judgment and swapping to ATs for actual off roading (or not even bothering).

The CT also has glitchy rear steer that can cause you to slide your rear end very easily in the normal drive modes. It is independent of your tires and more a function of the way the vehicle fails to maintain traction when the suspension is under some variable load like in a wet corner with “full lock”, over a grate, with a bit of steepness, etc. It’s probably something Tesla needs to tune into the traction control system as I have seen it happen multiple times in dry and wet conditions. I used to see this in my Fiat 500e if I hit a variable grade while steering and I would spin my front tires on dry ground due to the stiff suspension.

So far there has been no change in range . Probably too early to tell . I will keep you posted after a couple of weeks.

This makes no sense, to me sounds like FUD. My flooring it out of turns on wet pavement daily with 65psi tires would concur. Rear steer actually improves control in slippery situations and provides easier recovery from out of control sliding situation (turning into the slide). While it's easy to spin a tire, breaking both rears free and sliding is harder in CT than most trucks w/o RWS. I've ripped donuts and driven aggressively offroad in lots of trucks, and CT sucks at sliding comparatively. Although I do agree in "very high" the slipping gets bad due to lack of articulation, but that is meant for slow situations that favor ground clearance over articulation. Anyways, if your truck it "glitchy" I'd have it checked out.

WTF! Right on brother. I frequently find myself "in a wet corner with “full lock”, over a grate, with a bit of steepness, etc." and I have found performance and outcomes strictly to be a function of driver skill and intelligence. My wife finally mastered this maneuver last week. Keep practicing, it will come to you eventually.

I have the same question - road noise. I love the look but hoping the road noise is a bit better than than the stock AT tire, which honestly is fine.
