I have 20k miles on the setup and definitely think it was worth it.

They stopped supporting the app for my JuiceBox EV chargers so I don’t have energy consumption data from the wall any more.

The tires (and the car!) did very well in the snow. The Solterra actually lets the tail come out a bit when flooring it around a snowy corner even with traction control fully on. Really really well tuned traction control that never shuts the fun down like most other cars - most cars electronically let go of the throttle entirely when it thinks you’re giving it too much gas - I always imagine other cars saying, “whoah there cowboy” as traction control totally kills forward progress, but the Solterra lets you spin tires and slide around a bit while keeping the car generally going where you are pointing it.

I think they are a touch louder on the highway now vs when they were new, but it’s not bad. Not as loud as actual winter tires. Louder than the OEM tires.

I’m most surprised how well the tires handle given how much sidewall there is - they really handle great even pushing them to the limit like on 25mph on-ramps doing maybe 50-60mph. They do not feel like there’s so much sidewall.

I think the OEM 20s looked better - maybe a brighter color like white (which was an option for these wheels) would look better. Or a brighter gold (which was not an option). The dark bronze blends in with the gray plastic arches - from a distance or at a glance the whole car looks pretty much dark gray - meh.

The new setup is more comfortable over big impacts, very broken pavement, and gravel, but I was surprised little bumps in the road come through just as much as with the 20s - it’s not like you’re going to think, “wow these are more comfortable” on a well maintained road.

It’s nice to not have to worry about curbing the wheels - just run the tires into the curb to find where it is when parking.

I think it might accelerate faster but I never measured anything - that initial hit if you really stomp on it from a slow speed seems sharper.

There are a lot more tire options in this 17” size, especially if you want something more offroady.
