Now all we need is a 800V R1T

Can we get any reports on the SL tires (not LT) now that people have probably ran them to 10-30k? Are they loud or vibration like the scorpion A/Ts again, or do they remain better? How is tread wear doing?

Tesla requires 6, but the hardware is very cheap and a commodity to replace, and with their power sharing feature you can easily hook them all to a single 48 or 80 amp circuit and for typical apartment charging scenarios where people hog a spot, it saves your real cost -- electrical work.

I'll never say never, but this is almost never allowed as a matter of public policy. Even gross negligence is covered.

A thicker sidewall results in higher load carrying capabilities (hence the LT rating) and additional lateral stability qualities. There are more plys Unloaded, LT tires will ride rougher than SL. You can compensate for this somewhat by running lower tire pressure on the LT tires, to a certain...

The SL will have better ride quality. No need for the LT unless you're regularly towing 7k+. Very good dad @Edward 5252 I appreciate it. At how many miles would you say the noise got to the threshold where it was again as loud as the 2k mile Pirelle's you removed?

Cheapest thing is to fly in and drive it home. It's a wonderful road trip this time of the year. I have to be reasonable to them, the costs of sending it via tow are astronomical and thousands. More importantly, they are 2-3x the cost of a drive, plane ticket, and fuel.

I eventually got some for like $4 a piece at the SC, but your source is probably better.

Noise aside, do these ride smoother than the Pirellis? The later have a vibration/rough side, especially at low speeds.

I usually use it in Rural Idaho in the forest (boondocking), or at a random rest stop/pullover spot. Given the lack of use in crowded campgrounds, I really don't know.

I like heat pump for sleeping/camping in the vehicle. Heater runs 12+ hours with no movement.

Thank you. My Pirellis are at 15k and seem very loud now. They also seem to ride rougher, but this part might just be psychological.

How does the noise compare to new Pirelles? (not worn Pirelles).

Yes, for off-road or where you are trailblazing ATs are great. For just about any highway where 50 cars have passed before you and its packed, (IE: Ski Resorts), they will do not so great. If you can, get two sets. Blizzak for the winter, AT for the summer. Best of both worlds!

These will be legal for snow for those that need it -- but don't expect miracles in any AT tire. A well sipped highway tire will do better in ice any day.
