Is Foundation series tires limited to the All Weathers?

[CyberGus]

As soon as the All Seasons are available, I will be buying them to replace the Off Roaders which I don’t need. I have always bought my EVs for long highway drives and on a long drive range buys you choices about where to charge. I also like bigger tires on Smaller wheels so that I needn’t whine and cry about bumping curbs occasionally. So clearly I must be crazy. Can’t wait to own and drive Tesla‘s latest tech triumph!

I'm debating a switch to AS tires when available, and storing for ATs for occasional use. It's not difficult to have them swapped out, rite?

I was planning on attending the Cybertruck Rodeo in June, but it turns out I will be out of town.

I put on Michelins the first day. Same size, all seasons. Platinums. Not cheap … $2,600 out the door. But 55+ pressure and my drive are often over 100% efficient.

So… since you have swapped them out… any rubbing on inner fenders on extremes of turns? Curious since my Model X had some issues with that after I put Tesla Pirelli Scorpion Snow tires on it. Look forward to buying rotatable 4 same on all corners tires. Model X has staggered set… wider in back…half the tire warranty.

No. I got the exact same size. 285/65X20. The 340 mile rating was done on Pirelli’s but those are not available. I am growing a camper or box car hauler soon. Hauling a car this week. Car and aluminum box trailer will be right at 5,000 pounds.
Getting an Alta A2124 in July. 22’ camper that is butt ugly light the CT is. It is near aero perfect and will only reduce range by 20% or less. It is 2,600 pounds dry. 3,500 loaded.
Withe the car trailer I expect 700-800 wpm and with camper 600 wpm

Meadowshade: since you put on the michelins how is the road noise? Particularly on concrete pavement where the longitudinal grooves are. It's been my experience on my last three cars the whine was annoying. asphalt blacktop is very quiet. Perhaps there is better sound insulation in the cybertruck?

Anyone know who makes the all season tires for the CT.? I reconfigured to the All season but does not say who makes them.

I was able to configre my CT on May 23rd and had the option of all season or all terrain (and white or tectical gray interior) - still Foundation Series.

The Altas look like great trailers. Great luck with them. We just checked out the Bowlus Trailers, very nice not sure we are ready for one yet… my wife would rather spend the money on 3 and 4 star hotels instead. Thanks for the tire info. As to the noise question I’d bet they are about the same or better. My Michelin experience was they were as quiet as the Conti Silents without the foam inside.

The Michelins do not have foam on the inside like continentals do. So may not as quiet but the range is noticeably higher which is what I need towing from Quebec City to VA and VA to WY and back.

The higher range of 340 miles was done by Tesla on Pirelli Scorpion 285/65R20 which is not available yet. I am planning on the Michelin DEFENDER LTX PLATINUM 285/60R20 125S BSW.
They may be crap off road but I need range. Plus, this are 70,000 mile tires with 70 psi. Great for towing and range. And will be very quiet.
Anybody want a deal on the stock FS tires? I will seek as soon as I get delivery on CT and Michelins or Pirelli’s

 

[Laurab1972]

I heard range difference is really nominal with other tires. What increase do you expect to get?

 

[jsongster]

Well the All Season Pirellis that Tesla sells are shown as gaining 20 miles more range… not sure whether the michelins will match or beat that?

 

[MeadowShade]

20 miles is important if you need it and don’t have it. Plus it is cumulative. 20 miles every full charge or 10 miles every half charge. So far the rear cover is 10% and tires are 8%. If I keep going, my battery will be charging just from driving. Ha!
