Different driving habits and different elevations. Plus, break-in period for new tires. Kind of have to take all shared numbers with some level of skepticism.
Yes that's what I see as well. Some additional reports on the Lightning forums but I think we'll know significantly more about this tire's performance in 2-3 months. I'm expecting the SL to have significantly higher (>10%) efficiency than OEM with similar performance. If the SL is not significantly more efficient than the LT I'll likely go with the LT for the added durability for my off road needs.

I love the look of those wheels. I just wish they weren't steel. The aluminum wheel and tire package is heavy enough!

grip. I got some long-lasting, high UTQG tires for my other EV and now I spin out when I floor the accelerator at an intersection. In retrospect the long-life tires were not worth it -- whatever you get, make sure that braking and acceleration performance are good.

You want to see something funny?

115 pounds a corner with steelies and 35” MTs - 30-50 degree temps (add 3% to mileage, brings it to 1.62 mi/kWh)

OEM 20” Wheels and Scorpions - same weather, maybe a bit colder. Same general driving.

even with all the weight at each corner - you can’t feel much of a power difference these rigs are so overpowered.
