What are the best snow tires for Tesla Model S?
My daughter is going up to school in Vermont, and I want to make sure that her car is ready for when the snow starts to fall. Can you tell me the best snow tires for a Tesla Model S?

Michelin Pilot Alpin PA5, Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32, Continental Wintercontact TS 830 P and Yokohama BlueEarth Winter V905 are some of the best snow tires for
Tesla Model S
. The Model S is a speedy, sporty, and [one of the best all-electric vehicles]https://getjerry.com/driving/electric-vehicles-2021
) on the market—so it will need equally high-performing winter tires in order to keep it driving smoothly even in icy, snowy or slushy conditions. Michelin Pilot Alpin PA5
- Pros: Excellent braking times in snowy conditions; center tread groove helps prevent hydroplaning; handles well in snow, ice, and slush
- Cons: Very expensive
Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3
- Pros: Tesla’s choice of winter tire for the Model S, specifically designed for high-performing vehicles, good control in wintery conditions
- Cons: Can wear out faster
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32
- Pros: Can handle the higher torque and acceleration rates of the Model S, marvelous road grip, good cornering/handling
- Cons: Become louder as they wear out, usually around 10,000 miles
Continental Wintercontact TS 830 P
- Pros: Extreme performance in cold and snowy conditions, S-grip tread pattern allows for greater traction, quiet and comfortable
- Cons: Braking in wet road conditions could be better, limited sizing
Yokohama BlueEarth Winter V905
- Pros: Tread pattern helps drain excess water from the tire to reduce hydroplaning,
- Cons: Braking in wet conditions could improve, expensive
We hope this list helps you find the right pair of winter tires for your Tesla! And make sure to get them on the car before your daughter heads up to school: Vermont winters are notoriously snowy and cold, and while all-season tires do just fine in chilly temperatures,
winter tires a must for the snow
