These tires were okay nothing special. Got them on new CR-Vand they performed decently. But now theye down to 4/32nds tread after just 20000 miles. We swap out for winter tires in Nov/Dec and back in April so theyre not even used the full year. Expected better for a 50000-mile rated tire. Disappointed with the wear.

Nice comfy ride, low noise... but that's where the good stuff ends. On wet roads or any rain, it's like driving on ice. The dry grip is okay, cornering stability ain't too shabby. I get why Tesla would use these foam-lined tires to reduce road noise, but the trade-off? Not worth it. 

Even after just 5K miles, Im considering swapping them out for something safer.

Noisy, poor dry traction, abysmal tread life
Comments
These tires have terrible tread life, needing replacement after just a third of the warranty mileage.

 Car's always been in perfect alignment tires always properly inflated, and wear is even across all four. 

But they're noisy, have poor dry traction and the tread life is pathetic. Very disappointed.
