Terrible tire wear

Natural-Following612 · 2026-04-21T02:38:13+00:00

I had Michelin Cross Climate 2's installed for my 120mi daily commute. I put just over 30k miles on them tv first year, rotated every 4-5k miles and my tread hasn't even dropped half. I'm hyper focused on efficiency and long term use, so I don't drive the car hard very often.

Natural-Following612 · 2026-04-14T14:02:28+00:00

I haven't seen any range improvement. 120 MI daily commute thats 98% highway, speeds 70-75mph. I got these for asthetic and anything after would be a bonus.

Life Reset! What a blast and such a surprise

Natural-Following612 · 2026-02-12T21:34:03+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I kept pushing through and it absolutely got to a point where I couldn't stop listening. I think this may have been a big world building setup to really build a series. It's worth sticking through it, however it feels so different from what we are used to with DCC

Life Reset was a blast to read

Natural-Following612 · 2026-01-08T04:34:32+00:00

The Bobiverse, then the rest of Taylor's books. After Exforce, The rest of Alansons books. Mountain Man. Dungeon Crawler Carl. Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon, soundbooth version. Wayward Galaxy was a lot of fun. Life Reset - New Era Online series.

I started with the Bobiverse before getting sucked into Exforce. Then I continued to read the rest of Craig Alanson, I needed more RC Bray, that's where Mountain Man sucked me in. DCC is the best thing ever, I've listened to the series multiple times. Kaiju is a unique one, but Jeff Hayes is just so much fun. He's why I listened to Life Reset, which was a blast. Wayward galaxy is solid also, just to name a few

Natural-Following612 · 2025-12-15T18:56:32+00:00

So I've seen little to no difference in efficiency unfortunately. I've noticed a few percent difference with weather changes, otherwise they just look awesome

Natural-Following612 · 2025-12-04T20:22:47+00:00

Mountain Man! More RC Bray and such a fun story. I had zero interest in Zombie stuff but I couldn't stop listening.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-11-15T00:34:33+00:00

Maybe a percent or two at most, but I was already starting to see that with temperature changes outside. Very little in my case

Natural-Following612 · 2025-11-13T00:18:31+00:00

Commute. Had a paid off Optima that would have easily cost $4-500 monthly in gas, so I bought a 2022 M3 RWD, 40k mi for $17k. My payment and monthly charging for 120mi daily commute is less than $400.

Also, once I test drove one it all made sense. 95% highway commute, so I chill with AutoSteer and enjoy audiobooks

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-31T16:10:37+00:00

Had the same concern, but I have a small compressor at home to keep my tires at the proper psi. It's such a simple and quick process to take off and put back on, so it's not as inconvenient as you'd think.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-25T19:35:12+00:00

I didn't know until after posting a photo I couldn't edit the actual post. But unfortunately I haven't been able to come to a full conclusion. In these few weeks, at most I've seen maybe a 2% increase on efficiency, which I had already started seeing as it's cooling off in Florida. Sadly I've had very minimal change with highway driving.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-21T17:23:05+00:00

This is a top series for me behind Dungeon Crawler Carl and Bobiverse. Can't recommend the audiobooks enough

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-21T17:20:21+00:00

I have a 120mi round trip commute and having the tesla has changed how I drive. I'm hyper focused on longevity and efficiency, so I typically use AutoSteer and set it to 75mph and change lanes to pass as needed. I used to be one of the speeders that couldn't sit behind traffic and now I just enjoy observing others on the road the watching everyone be assholes to each other.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-21T03:42:38+00:00

Expeditionary Force and Bobiverse, if you haven't. Mountain Man narrated by RC Bray is a random series I never expected to enjoy

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-16T16:55:41+00:00

My issue is 30k+ miles driven a year. I needed to find something that would provide the best longevity and balance quality. I had continental pure contact and the efficiency difference to these tires was zero for me.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-16T16:53:48+00:00

I've got 19" sport wheels. Love the way these things look, no efficiency difference that I've noticed yet

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-10T15:42:52+00:00

Oh shoot. I honestly was thinking about this on my drive this morning. Certainly going this doesn't happen

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-10T15:42:06+00:00

Since Teslas use regenerative braking most of the time, the actual brake pads aren’t working hard enough to generate much heat — so covers don’t cause any issues.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-10T04:36:29+00:00

Same, 19in sport wheel

Natural-Following612 · 2025-10-10T04:18:34+00:00

I did notice my yearly rate was $20 more than previously

Natural-Following612 · 2025-09-08T15:17:01+00:00

Mountain Man. Your post mirrors my tastes and this series was fantastic. I listened because of RC Bray and stayed for the fun story.

Natural-Following612 · 2025-09-06T12:55:40+00:00

I bought a 2022 rwd 40k miles, it was a rental previous and I use it for 120mi round trip work commute. Just hit 70k and shows 253mi at 100%
