Why Choosing Cheap Tires for Your Tesla Might Be A Bad Idea

In this video I test the cheapest tire you can buy for a Tesla Model Y and compare it to the Hankook ION EVO SUV ( BUY ON AMAZON: amzn.to/3xWiHOP) all season EV tire to see what the difference is in ride quality and range.

You missed the most important test of 60 to 0. Nothing matters as much as stopping distance!

[@Gjeebs]

I have no good way of testing that sadly

[@maxflight777]

Love Hankook ! Bloody good on my MY

[@SHendrixx2]

Good stuff, Gjeebs! FYI, my wife has a PhD. in girl math. Pray for me

[@Budooby]

These tire test videos are AWESOME man, I can’t believe no one else has done such comprehensive testing before! Really looking forward to more of this!

[@Gjeebs]

Glad you like them! More to come!

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

Great tire test. I like the Sailun tires for as cheap as they were. I got Vredestein winter ones also. If I get new tires I will put show then off and review them also.

[@sourjyaguha]

Another easy to get insightful no BS video, love them! Have/Can you test the Pirelli Scorpion M+S es that came with a few batches of the Model Y 23?

[@gust9464]

Thanks Gjeebs another great and informative video

[@Gjeebs]

you’re welcome

[@jrclark222]

I just put a set of Goodyear electric drive 2 tires on my MYLR. I came from the factory Goodyears, for reference. There are very few of these on the road right now apparently as the Goodyear dealer didn’t even know they existed and they were just released in May. So far, they are MUCH quieter with noticeably better ride feel than the old ones. I live in Ahwatukee btw. Your reviews are always helpful and funny.

[@Gjeebs]

Good to know! might have to try yours out

[@mcculleys3780]

Ben, as others have said, these tire reviews are outstanding and it's difficult to find anything in comparison to other Tesla content on YT. I'm in Tempe and always appreciate your local recommendations too and have used them. Dynamic Tint and also worked with Luca on my Tein shock install. Thanks!

[@Gjeebs]

Gald to hear that! Thanks for the support

[@dustinblackman1611]

Great video again!

[@Lost_In_LA]

Great topic!

[@Doboi85]

I’ve had the Arroyo Grand Sport A/S tires on my MYP for six months now. As a budget-friendly option, I’m quite satisfied with their performance. They provide good traction on dry surfaces and have performed well during the intense atmospheric river rains in California. Noise-wise, I believe they’re comparable to the original Michelin A/S tires that came with my car

[@PHX9494]

good content 👍🏼

[@chkr1610]

I've been very satisfied with the Hankooks over the factory Continentals. Ride seems smoother.

[@ryanfraley7113]

Nice Masters swag 👀👀👀

[@wazasawi]

Nice video. Were the wheels mounted wrong orientation 😅. But looks like you corrected it.

[@briang896]

Great video! How does those Hankook compare to the Michelin Pilot 4 All season ?

[@ishanachar6015]

I’m also interested in knowing this

[@mickyd3]

Good video. On a different topic, did you ever get much better results using your after market wheels? You tried after market forged wheels but did you ever receive better results?

[@Gjeebs]

I will be testing those soon

[@mickyd3]

@@Gjeebs thanks. Keep up the great videos

[@baldbikeboy]

Why buy cheap tires when they put your life at risk? Premium tires are the best “insurance” you can buy!

[@StephanPluemer]

Espacilly ive it is weet...

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

When I bought new wheels for the Model Y they came with cheap Sailun tires. They are much better than I thought. But I agree. I prefer Michelin if I have a choice. Made a video on the Sailun.

[@blipblop92]

Cheap tires kill you? First i ever heard

[@biggerthanhiphop7641]

Cheap tires won't kill you ..they will wear faster .. chances of them popping is very slim . I drove with cheap tires all my life and never had an issue

[@TunekoLtd]

Already at 1,12 test goes off as there is cars around you at highway when you measure noise readings. Was one or two tire set tested on gemini wheels, I think that should be mentioned and with wheelcovers on or not? Where are temperatures of the test day, sunny, cloudy, wind readings etc

[@4eightyeast]

Can you tell me the model of the Sailrun tires you used for this test?

[@jimselvy6157]

I live in Tucson, so it is not cold or snowy anytime of the year. What do you think about summer tires all year long vs all season?

[@davidmitchell1920]

All season last longer than summer tires because summer tires are a softer compound I run Pirelli Scorpion A/S on my Model X and I'm in Phoenix

[@yeahbuddy92193911]

If you're taking requests, can you do the Cross Climate 2's? I hear they get actual 40k+ miles on a Tesla, superior traction, less hydroplaning, even good in snow, but slightly more road noise and less efficient.

[@puddlejumper360]

What happened to the Unplugged Performance wheels?

[@Gjeebs]

I have them still I am just testing tires on the OEM wheels and then I will throw those back on

[@Shaverlakecabinwildlife]

Is this on the performance or the LR

[@brendanbuehler4352]

LR speed boost

[@ckleung7]

Santan 202?

[@MydNitQ]

Don’t forget to add price! Can’t remember if sailun was cheap or not

[@Gjeebs]

Sailun was $250 so its in the middle of these two

[@myaccount__7269]

Thank goodness you got rid of that stache lol. Good video as always !

[@jacobcambell]

“That’s girl math right there. You bought something and you got a discount so you think you saved money even though you spent money.” 😂

[@johnlabernik4599]

Ripping off engineering explained’s thumbnail huh? Respect the hustle

[@williamgrunzweig571]

😂love you china inflection...that never gets old. ❤

[@theDougAngle]

Give this video a like. Help him out. Great work Gjeebs! Thanks for the data.

[@Gjeebs]

haha Thank you. Thousands spent on this for almost no return but some good data

[@fiveangle]

Why do you provide the watt hour per mile for only one of the tests, then you provide this arbitrary “vehicle range“ which is dependent on the battery pack size of your specific vehicle? You are just forcing us to have to calculate the white hour per mile based on the ratio from the values on your first test… It’s a little ridiculous :shrug: WHr/mi is directly comparable, no matter what EV any of us own.

[@pg6557]

Cheap tires are never a good idea

[@Gjeebs]

I agree

[@flyonwall360]

Choosing an electric may be a bad idea.

[@tonyn3227]

it isnt worth spending huge amount of money on expensive tite unless you have money. i have cheap chinesse tiores on my model 3 i replaced and i dont see any diffrence in range at all. i think its all bull shit. to pay for expenisve tires

[@Gjeebs]

You couldn't be more wrong

[@tonyn3227]

@@Gjeebs not really very minut diffrence , in my ipinion not worth the extra money, my 4 tires cost me $450. and work just fine. if you wanna spend more knock yourself out, i am sure they will love you more.

[@dracktw]

Get some atturo thank me later

[@blipblop92]

Comfort in a tesla is wishful thinking, my MY23 is worse than a corolla we upgraded from.

[@sonovabeach]

Your Trump stuff is terrible, and funnier than sh1t all at the same time. Please keep it up. I laugh my ass off. 👍
