Winter Tires / Snow Tires -- What Are You Running / Buying?

[SentinelOne]

I just picked mine up yesterday as well. Definitely can tell a noise difference from the AS tires I had. But that is to be expected. Didnt get to drive much, but looking forward to see your range stats.

Updated post above with this morning's info...had to go back and correct previous mileage - didnt have the wh/mi picture in my phone but do know it was 19% used so plugged in wh/mi. Will do some more testing and document better! But I think 15% is a good ballpark for Freeway, and I like the tires.

I ordered the door seal kit, just to see if it helps with the noise. Figured it won't hurt

I put the Tesla winter tire package on last Friday. The winter tires are surprisingly loud, especially considering they aren't true snow tires.

Huh? I would expect a true winter tire to be quieter than an aggressive All-Terrain tire marketed as a winter tire.

I have these tires and they are louder than the non-aggressive OEM All-Terrain tires, but not by a lot. With the way the Cybertruck is built like a vault, the actual sound level in the cabin is surprisingly civilized and quiet.

My only small disappointment with these tires so far is the cornering response is a little bigger impact than I thought it would be. It made me realize how "sporty" the OEM AT's really are (for an AT tire). The tires sold as a winter package don't like to be pushed very hard at all on the street. I knew that going into this, I just wasn't prepared for the magnitude of the difference. When you try to get a little frisky with them, they slap you in the face and say "Don't do me like that!"

100% agree, for the type of tire they're much better than expected and not much louder than the OEM AT's - maybe 10%....close enough for me

Anybody have feedback on installed blizzaks or Nokian yet?

What winter tire are you guys planning to buy?
I am looking at
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent
https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Dueler+A/T+Ascent&partnum=865SR0DATA&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Tesla&autoYear=2024&autoModel=Cybertruck&autoModClar=285/65-20

The main points I am looking at are:
1. Three-peak snowflake symbol
2. Low rolling resistance

It seems this to be the best (better than the OEM Goodyear DuraTrac )

I am currently running K03s and they are awesome . Already had a couple of big snow here in Colorado. K03s on stock wheels - AS package that came with the Non Foundation . Will use the AS tires during the summer time . I may even consider running the KO3s all year round

Just tried braving i70 today during snow storm. Had to turn around with stock tires. Two biggest safety concerns were traction and visibility with the lights freezing over. Now looking for some winter tires!

Tesla Snow tires (RT's) - light snow on the road / some slush / some ice - tires worked very well to where I had to tell myself to slow down - they dont change physics. ...only a 7 mile test run but first experience is legit.

Just installed Bridgestone Blizzak . smooth .

Dedicated winter tire and what is needed especially for ice ..
Less rugged construction than OEM .tire .
We can all play around in the snow but hitting black ice is never playful ever.

I have Nokian winters on my other car also good winter tire .

For someone who has both nokian and blizzak tires, how would you say the compare to each other in winter conditions and dry conditions?

I wish Nokian made a winter tire in the stock CT sizes..

 

[bosshog]

Thats

Thats a really tough question . I have always used Blizzaks for winter but tried Nokian as well now . They both really good . They both very dedicated winter tires . So super sticky .

I would just look at them both and choose the one that looks better . I think they both very comparable in brutal winter conditions . Look at the tread pattern and choose the one you like .

My Blizzaks are 275 not the stock tire size . You cant get the cybertruck stock tires in the main brands .

Bought the Tesla winter tire package - basically paid $1k more than tires alone and now have 4 spares! . Same weight and revs per mile as the Tesla AT's - so no impact there, but assume more rolling resistance / range hit, bit stiffer ride, and giving up top speed (dont need 130mph in winter, 112mph should suffice ) and handling!...tire gets good ratings so hopefully was worth the extra $3k.

I just had the winter tires installed. My other Teslas have the tire size and type adjustment in the service menu. How accurate is the range calculation without being able to adjust the tire type?

Can't go wrong with Tesla's OEM winter tire package.

How's your watts/mile energy use with the KO3s?

I have these tires on my ICE truck, actually saw an improvement from prior AT tires 13-14 MPG to 15-16 MPG with the KO3s. I am really thinking about making these either year-'round or winter tires on a Cybertruck.
