omg Jen is awesome on camera. Seems like a great get for tfl, plus worked for tesla annd her own tire bizzz. hope she is happy there as look forward to future content!

[@roodick85]

It's about dang time they hired someone else. No offense to them but they need personality

[@user-to2rf1rj5v]

19:24 the KO3's are triple peak rated, which means they are a softer compound for winter driving. This increases rolling resistance.

[@TheWADodd]

Missed opportunity for a sound reading as well!

[@volcalstone]

Did I just watched a 20 min ad just to see Jen? I don't even have a Tesla or plan to. 😊

[@davidhoover2446]

The new lady Jen you hired seems to be a really good and professional car reviewer and communicator!

[@BrianSFischer]

Agreed

[@brandonstewart7145]

[@daredare187]

That new lady Jen use to also watch tfl before getting hired. She already knows the language 👍😂

[@stevemiro731]

I would take a 10% range increase in my Bolt. Great video, thank you for the long day of driving!

[@fscottgray9784]

Michelin owns BF Goodrich. Michelin tires have always had the lowest rolling resistance overall of any tire company. We worked with a Government agency years ago that tested all the tire companies and they found Michelin was superior for low rolling resistance.

[@Radium3D]

Loooove the cybertruck!

[@who2u333]

You posted this AFTER you posted the video stating that you replaced the truck with the VW? LOL.

[@toyyoda3710]

I have to admit. That might be the main reason why i clicked. One last chance to see our old friend cyberduck ... I dont know why but i like calling them Cyberduck and a make myself laugh by quacking like a duck every time i see one

[@aussie2uGA]

I love Michelin tires in general, but for an off-road truck like my Tundra, they just don’t have much bite. I lose traction constantly on uphill rain slicked crush and run trails.

[@chingwodapigu]

Please do a snow/ice comparison of the KO3s vs the LTX, in comparison to a winter tire. Love the new videos with Jen!

[@WW-wf8tu]

Odd to see the cyber truck since it was traded in on the VW bus already before this video was released. Outside of the fact this was an add based video for plugging other things, the 100 mile Denver loop that is 111 miles that the other day someone said was actually 115 miles(somehow)more EV drives should be done on this loop.

[@colindmac78]

I hope people appreciate how much time and work it can take to make a 20 minute video but it was a great video and a lot of good information on selecting a tire for your personal needs and what your can expect for range on really any truck. Gas or electric tires are going to make a difference on battery range or a tank of gas. Again great video guys and thanks for putting in the work.

[@martycannon]

Jen!!!! I was wondering where you went! I LOVED the work you guys did at BluMobile Tire. Glad to see you joined one of my favorite KZbin channels! Roman, Tommy, and Andre are awesome. I'm looking forward to many more videos with you.

Lighter tires will help efficiency but may not last as long. Side note, sucks how expensive tires are. Try to make mine last the maximum amount till unsafe. But honestly sometimes get bored and want to replace them sooner lol. Just so expensive.

Those wheels are much better than the stock ones. Much better

[@newscoulomb3705]

Tires wearing out after 11,000 miles? Yikes.

[@MichaelGalletly]

When you're paying $80K to $100K+, you ought to be able to expect high quality tires, but I guess not.

[@JOHNWAYNE1920]

[@vr4042]

When you abuse the living poop out of a tire, accelerating a 7,000 pound truck to 60 in 3 seconds, you're going to burn up any tire ever made. I'm at 8,500 miles and only 1/32 reduced. Will probably get 40,000

[@Tron2pointOh]

Jen! 🦇

[@3wheelmannc860]

Thoughts on the many posts or opportunities with aero rim covers? I notice these a lot and have no real way to evaluate the claims, but the ones that I have purchased look much better then the silver covers that came on my '24 Y. At least they better match the charcoal gray paint color now.

[@scottgregory2059]

seems like you probably finished the 2nd test (more efficient test) at evening rush hour. Efficiency is potentially better in any EV in such a situation. Having your average speed (or overall time) for the test be very very close to the same would eliminate that variable and presenting it with these results would make it slightly more scientific. If it took more than 5 minutes longer to do the loop in the second test, the results are inconclusive at best.

[@mmaxx9915]

However it was probably colder at night. Less efficient if using heat also air density is increased thus more drag.

[@scottgregory2059]

@@mmaxx9915 I live close to where their testing takes place is so I am very familiar with the weather/atmospherics of their test. If anything, the temperature is more likely to have been a degree or two warmer in late afternoon/early evening than when they started/finished the testing early in the day. The average speed / potential for traffic slowdowns at evening rush hour will have a much greater impact to the overall range in general and in their test than the temperature related drag or cabin heating. Additionally, the wheels they used were not exactly the same, so there will be some aerodynamic difference that they have not mentioned or accounted for (and this may be similar order of magnitude as tire difference). In a perfect test, the 'better efficiency' tires are very likely to give a result similar to theirs - few up to 10 percent (maybe more) better range, but this test has not controlled the variables well enough to discriminate within the difference they found.

[@mmaxx9915]

@@scottgregory2059 while I agree there was no exact comparison. I have looked at multi hour temperatures for the Denver area. 10am is about the same temperature on average as 5pm. Also being stalled in traffic with the heat pump on is going to cut into slower speed driving efficiency of electrics. I don’t think it’s an all or nothing point. I’m just saying the idea the efficiency is mostly due to traffic conditions is potentially countered by other mitigating factors. Supposing the degree of those factors is speculative. I believe we are playing Symantec’s here and are agreeing with each other just coming at it from different perspectives.

[@stevelouie5928]

I would design a tire that looks off roadie but with low rolling resistant tread. How many people actually go off roading? You can get the looks and the good mpg.

[@JT_771]

How is it a surprise when Tesla directly shows the difference in range with the different tire packages they offer? Of course such things have a range impact.

[@spartanchirho]

Wow I kinda expected a little more difference between the two.

Your ugly weights on the outside edges perform better then the single weight on the inside. Would be cool to see a different tire size like a tall and skinny tire.

[@RichtrucktionTv]

Shes a natural ! But it’s funny how you let her drive 10:55 you usually never let anyone drive ! 😂

[@BrianStegman-u3t]

Can you guys test truck toppers too. That would be awesome!

[@treaco89]

I wish you would have shown how much energy was used by the vehicle and HVAC and stuff between the two runs. Especially considering you ended the second run at night, which surely took less cooling of the vehicle components and less HVAC.

[@brettsuydam7457]

Maybe even less aggressive all seasons would save even more.

[@roodick85]

Thats why GM pits those tiny ass tires on 1 tons just for those EPA numbers 😅

[@typxxilps]

et ceteribus paribus I doubt that you can compare these 2 rides cause you do not drive the same, have the same traffic and what not. 3/48 less ist 6,3% not 10% but even that can be completely different due to wind, temperature, traffic and driving changes cause did you adjust the inside temperature when it went dark and cold(er) . Might be better to run 2 cars at the same time behind each other and that might make it more comparable. Here we had seen such tests with a rental car to get such results but between all season and specific EV tyres for example that also had about 5% difference.

[@brohammer]

They don’t have that ability Owning two 100,000 cyber trucks is a lot to expect

[@bradythegenius2123]

I hope you’re joking

[@davidhoover2446]

If you take a look at the equations, heavy tires make more difference for lower speed starting and stopping. Once you’re at speed, they make less difference. However, handling, accelerating, and braking is where wheel weight has the greatest affects.

[@Kahless00]

Are they calling machined wheels forged? That seems like false advertising. Milling something out of a billet of aluminum is very different than actually forging something.

[@krzysztofiwanowski5308]

I do not think you understand what forged actually means - it 's a difference between forged and cast, not forged and milled. EVERY forged wheel is then milled ;)

[@TKevinBlanc]

The billet is forged. Seems right to me.

[@boostav]

A forging needs to be cnc machined to get the final product

[@Kahless00]

@@krzysztofiwanowski5308 yeah thats not how that works either genius. you not been around cars long? using a cnc to cut entire wheels out of a billet isnt forging no matter what mental gymnastics you try. its misleading at best and the kind of thing NZXT just got reported to the FTC for. if theyre calling them forged because theyre using forged billets and then cutting the wheel out its shady marketing on a technicality.

More spinning losses from larger motors/gear train. Mostly the performance sticky tires are the reason Vs their non performance counterparts.

[@andrewvercillo7584]

I wimont watch anymore of your videos, now that you got rid of Cybertruck. Why would you get rid of your only electric truck? Good luck

[@andrewf67]

"just lost 20 minutes of our day"... That was a stupid statement, without context. EV owners need to be able to charge when the vehicle is NOT IN USE, which for most people is over 90 percent of the time. So assuming someone can charge when the vehicle is not in use then they will save time because they NEVER have to go to a gas station. The most important thing for mass EV adoption is access to level 2 charging at home, work and other places a vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Fast charging should only be necessary for road tripping and when road tripping it shouldn't be a big deal to take a 20 minute break from driving. The last thing we want to do is replicate the gas station model with EVs. (Having said that, fast charging is improving every year but the infrastructure will lag behind the top end. The top end is already nearly twice as fast as that Cybertruck charge.) Of course there are exceptions for people who drive (and tow) a lot but that is the exception to the rule for daily vehicle use. The rule is cars sit idle MOST OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. (Which is why transportation as a service, with autonomous EVs, is going to be HUGE!)

[@ungilcualquiera]

Only 11000 miles and tires already wearing down? I knew EVs wear tires faster than ICE vehicles but that is insane.

[@Cloud30000]

They bought the wrong tires, like putting standard F150 tires on an F350. They focused on off road grip without considering vehicle weight.

[@mmaxx9915]

The only issue with tires wearing fast is driving habit and weight. Electric vehicles have so much torque on demand it’s easier to drive it harder. As far as weight goes there are heavier ICE vehicles that wear tires faster than average and on par with electric.

[@aussie2uGA]

Weight. It’s the weight…

[@daddystired]

I’m on 33k miles on my model y tires. Treads are still fine. It’s about those people that take off fast because they like the torque. Do this and it wears the tire out fast. Drive normal and you’re fine.

[@bradythegenius2123]

It’s the weight and these tires specifically, they are just cheap tires. Most tires from the manufacturer last 20-40k, however if you buy good quality name brand tires they can usually last at least 50k, with good driving.

What a great test! Even better to have a tire/wheel expert like Jen who’s also a Tesla expert to boot! 8-10% is an enormous difference in efficiency in such an enormous truck/battery.

A new set of tires every 10k miles is 10 sets of tires in 100k miles which is over $10k in tire costs. So much for fuel savings!

[@aussie2uGA]

Why do people always assume “trying to save the planet” attitude on a tesla purchase when it’s usually because of the insane torque and performance.

[@chiplangowski3298]

The OEM tires wear out quickly, after that you put on a good set of regular tires and get 50K or 60k out of them like would on any other vehicle. The OEM tires have a shallow tread depth for greater range. You can find CT videos on this.
