Help: Can't Decide - Tire Replacements

[luebri]

How was the efficiency you're road trip? Still happy with the tires?

So far so good. I think I Got 1.7ish averaging 70 to 75mph, which is probably ~5% worse at most than my OEM Grabber All seasons. I did stop and get 10% charge at a Tesla supercharger, which is Almost exactly what I rolled into the garage at. Added Road noise is negligible in my opinion.

Just put the Toyo Open Country A/T III EV on mine based on the reviews here. Just of $2k at Discount Tire installed and warranty. They are a bit louder than the factory Hankooks I took off that were having the bad edge wear like many others have. Living in Minnesota I wanted something with good winter ratings without having to put on snow tires. The Hankook averaged 2.1 kw/mile over the last 9,000 miles. I reset the trip odometer today and we will how these do. Had them pump them up to 50psi, they had them at 45. They warned me to watch center wear, manufacturer suggests 43 psi.

I'm leaning in this direction and will be curious to hear what you think about them!

I pulled the trigger on the TOYO III EV’s 275/60/20

I’ve only run them to work once so the impact on range when compared to the Grabbers is still TBD.

I was more worried about the noise.
The Grabbers at 80mph 63dB
The Toyo’s at 80mph 64-65 dB (reading kept fluctuating. There is a noticeable hum but it’s not obnoxious. But enough that I can still notice it with the music playing.

I’ll add that the Discount Tire guy said they were the 10ply version instead of the 4ply. I didn’t realize there was an option. $400 / tire. With certificates came to $2100.
The ride is noticeably better imho…less float. DT aired them up to 50psi. I was surprised how much better it rides.

Yea that price was just to hard to justify for me but they look like great tires. Literally double what my Dynapro AT2 Xtreme's were
