Yes wildpeaks

Though 3 peak rated, its not a winter category tire like a Blizzak, Nokian, X-ice, etc.

Been discuss many times as a 35” winter tire not for sale.

I have been running Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my Teslas since 2017. Best Winter Tires I have ever used.

And this I just had a set of Studless Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s put on my Cybertruck FS at Discount Tire.

They gave me a pretty nice deal on the package including Fuel Flux Wheels and TPMS sensors all for just under $3,000.

And for an additional $120 annually, they rotate the Summers and Winters and seasonally store the takeoffs. Tesla Mobile Service I think charges about $90 just to do a tire swap in my garage.

I did store only three of the original four tires, so I have a spare a easily available should that be needed.

Alex (his direct number is 224-539-7190) from Discount Tire in Mt. Prospect Illinois said he'd be able to honor this deal if anyone on else wants it.

How is this performing for you? Just tried driving to the mountains in a blizzard on stock tires and between the traction and lack of visibility failed miserably.

I'm curious as well, like I mentioned in an earlier post, Discount Tire hooked me up with the same deal that @CT-Chicago did, my install date is next Monday, so I'll report back then.

I have these tires LT3 275 65 R20 Studded. So far they are performing excellent on ice and snow here in Alaska. I have them on stock rims. They are about .9 inches smaller in diameter. If the truck indicates 65mph you're actually going 64... I've used hakas on all of my cars for over 20 years. My other two teslas lose about 40-60% (16 X and 20 Y) of range at 0f. I expect the Cybertruck to be in the 25-35% range loss due to the lower efficiency of the truck per kwh.

On the stock wheels?! Does that work? How about aero covers?

 

[Travis64]

So would a 295 or 305 tires fit wothout any rubbing?
285 is 34in1/2 right?

Stock wheels yes. And lucky me I haven't received my areo covers yet... I have some 3d printed center covers I'm using right now.

Just got back from my appointment to put on the LT3's and Flux wheels. I'm happy with the look, however they do offset further out then the stock wheels but it isn't ridiculous either. One thing my Discount Tire said/did was that they had to move the TPMS sensors over from my stock ATs because they didn't have the Tesla ones... So I might buy a set of 4 from Tesla so that I can have those put on next spring and not have to swap sensors each time as well.

In your trip computer, what's your average Wh/mi with the Nokias?

 

[mjezzi]

Would love to hear what Wh/mi you get with The Nokias.

I ordered tct 20inch wheels from t sport line w/ the aeromaxx covers and the Nokia lt3. So very close to what you have. Thank you for the feedback!

So I've only had three really short, stop and go, drives so far, so it is a too early to tell the what the efficiency will be. The tire shop is only about 1.5 miles from my house and it has been really cold here these past 2 days. I drove home from there, then woke up this morning to take my kids to school and pick up groceries and drove back home. Also apparently the tires are a bit under 50 psi, so I'll be adding some air to those as well. But for now, like many on this forum, I do like to geek out on this sorta thing so I'll include my data from TeslaMate for the three drives, but I'll also add that my drive to the tire shop with the OEM ATs was apparently 1261 Wh/mi ... lol, like I said it is only 1.5 miles with multiple stops, so not really a great way to compare them.

Here are the screenshots for each with the new LT3s, and once I get some more miles I can update everyone again.

how is the handling? When you quickly sway left and right back and forth, does it feel responsive or does it feel a little floaty?

trying to decide between these and the blizzaks

 

[fishtek]

Yeah I would say they are a bit less responsive compared to the AT tires, but not enough to really bother me.

I am looking to get the LT3's from T-Sportline in a tire and wheel package as well. Did they come with studs?
