So I just bought a M3P but didn’t realize the 20 inch wheels only came with summer tires. I didn’t take delivery yet actually but hoping I can switch out to at least all seasons. No one in my area has the Michelin AS3 or the snow tires in stock at this time.
@@60in3.1 hey man thanks for the follow up video. That sucks what happened to you. $2400 is a steep price but considering not having to do much maintenance overall is cheaper compared to ICE. Glad it’s not as bad as it could have been.
As for my follow up to my original comment, I ended up finding a set of continental DWS tires and switched them out immediately after delivery. Picked the car up in NY in February 2023 when it’s cold af. Not ideal conditions for summer tires! Haha
Driving with the performance tires actually voids the warranty. They become brittle in freezing temperatures, and you could have caused them to develop stress cracks that can become a major issue in the future even in the summer now. You may want to have them checked. Having a blow out later would be a bad thing.
@@60in3.1they’re Summer tires, for performance cars it’s expected that you won’t drive those tires in freezing temps, most performance customers (not just Tesla) keep a second set of winters to swap out with
It’s all about traction. This is why they make winter weather specific tires. Get you a set of studded hakkapeliittas if you want to be king during snow storms.
I had my model x with 22 inches summer tires , just barely able to handle the snow storm to truckee without sliding too much, i was able to hit 50 mph on the same route as you. However I'm glad you're safe 👍
@@60in3.1 That's not a good idea, because studded tires are really only for use where compacted snow and ice will be encountered for most of the winter. If you intend to travel infrequently in winter conditions, you might carry a set of chains with you, and put them on for driving over mountain passes.
I was driving super slow, only going like 8-10mph and all the big trucks were going like 25mph and they were going around me. I didn’t wanna hold up traffic. I also had a good feeling ai was gonna have to call a tow truck to come rescue me so I just thought I would stay in the shoulder to make things easier
I live in Minnesota with a Model 3 Performance. Proper winter tires are a requirement. I'm impressed you got as far as you did. I got to the end of my driveway once with the stock tires in the snow, and decided it wasn't happening.
@@60in3.1 two mistakes one drive a Tesla and two drive a car with summer tires 🛞. At least get UHP AS or even cross climate tires or weather peaks. You would have been able to drive like 2x the speed. Like 45-55 mph.
@@neubauerjoseph the tesla itself did great, the freezing temperatures didn’t affect the battery at all but I just got a new set of all seasons this week. I’m going back through the same Donner summit this weekend during the snow storm 🌨️
@@60in3.1 what you want is weather peaks or cross climate 2 from Michelin. The cross climate 2 are the benchmark right now I am not sure about the new weather peaks but in my test they do amazing and almost as good as winter tires.
Maybe it's your settings. Summer tires or not the treads on your tires should still give you some grip, especially at 8mph, but of course winter tires are better. Unless you have no tread left...😅
What settings do you recommend? When I put my car in track mode it allows me to adjust the stability assist. Will this do anything? Or should I leave it alone
@@60in3.1 I've heard other drivers put it in Chill mode to reduce the torque. I live in Texas and we have ice storms here. I drove my Model 3 LR on icy/snowy roads at about 10 to 20 mph and it performed fine. That's with non-winter tires, just regular tires...
Don't feel bad, you can do weather like that in a Tesla on summer tires, but you've gotta know what to expect, take it slow, and it's still a situation even experienced snow drivers will prefer all seasons at the very least.
Dude, you are lucky to be alive. You have no clue how dangerous it's driving with summer tires in that weather. The Tesla did mask a lot of danger with the stability systems, but, dude...
I don't know how it is in the US but in Switzerland the insurance will not pay if you have an accident while driving on snow / ice with summer tires. Always keep some snow chains in your car. Would have helped a lot.
For another Canadian's take on this, Search YT for ' Tesla Model 3 SR+ All Season Tires in Snow Blizzard Slippery Roads ', ASR and M3 RWD = OK when you have experience in cold weather driving. This skill is learned! You're not born with it.
Had a BMW X5 2015 ..22 inch wheels with all season tires and awd. It was skidding so bad in the snow or just icy conditions. Because of the super heavy weight of the Tesla batteries and overall car, I believe this what kept you from sliding all over the place and losing grip. You shouldnt test your luck twice with summer tires in those conditions regardless 😂
@ D Munro: I don’t agree. Using All Seasons in conditions like that is foolhardy. “Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.” Case in point - Some provinces in Canada make it illegal to drive with anything but snow tires after December the 1st. That includes “All Seasons”. These type of tires don’t have the physical properties to truly deal with snow.
I live in Minnesota and have decades of winter driving experience. I'm also a M3P owner. Winter tires are essential. There's a massive difference between all season and winter tires. Summer tires in the snow is a non-starter.
@@lesf5792 The author of the video wasn't using all season radials; he was using dedicated summer tires. I wouldn't expect someone living in SoCal to drive on dedicated snow tires even in winter! I've driven through many a blizzard after ~50 years of driving in Canadian winters, and while I would prefer winter tires, all season radials are still vastly superior to dedicated, low profile, summer tires. In BC, Ont and QC all season radials with the M+S marking are considered snow tires. The stock Tesla 18in all season radials have the M+S symbol.
@@stueve Summer tires are NOT 'all season radials'. All Season Radials with the M+S marking on the sidewall are considered snow tires in most jurisdictions, as long as they meet the minimum tread depth specified.

Yeah I’m actually thinking of getting a set of 19’s and throwing all season tires on them. Maybe even 18’s.
I’m thinking about the same thing. I’ll give it a year though lol

You can also get chains from the Tesla website for the performance 3. I have done this drive before with ease on winter tires.
I might buy some just incase I ever have to drive in the snow again ☃️

Your brave with the summer tires. After the first snow I had to change to all season
If I ever go back I will definitely have some proper snow tires with the spikes

What kind of all seasons and how did they do in snow?
@just_levlup pilot sport 4 and they were great It really isn't a big diffrence the summer tires were trash in the rain also.

It was wise for this guy to recognize the hazard and pull over when he did. Summer performance tires are awful in in snow and ice.

Next time put your car in neutral, your lucky it was on snow
Thanks for the tip
I've never had snow tires and drive in the snow easily; your Tesla must be RWD.
My tesla is AWD and I have summer performance tires which are not even good in water
RWD in snow just plain sucks in any vehicle.
Not rwd
