Really wish somebody would compare these directly with the cross climate 2's. Like.. one car with these on and one car with the CC2's following each other in the same conditions.
@SharingAccount-lw9gw nice! I git the weatheractives. No complaints yet..have 2k miles on them but nothing other than dry and rain which they have done well in
I have been using Nokian WRG3 and 2 for years and they are spectacular, they have the mountain symbol and I live in Alberta so they get a real test in all seasons, summer and ice.
You should do a video that details stat difference between an all season and WRG5 i.e 0 to 60, braking, noise and efficiency. Tests should be performed on dry, wet, snow and ice.
Absolutely love Nokian tires. I won't drive in winter without my winter tires. I live in an extreme winter climate. Four vehicles in our fleet, for now.
You should have disclaimed your comment at 9:13 about the pothole warranty...as another UA-camr pointed out, the warranty is only valid for the 1st year of ownership and void if the treadlife is below 60%. I own a set of these tires on my '18 Accord Hybrid and drove through snow and ice yesterday without issue. They are awesome!
Currently running cross climate 2s here in Seattle, but these seem even better. Definitely on my list for the next set. Thanks Kyle for the review, much appreciate your insight and I've watched your channel enough to know that you'd call these out as garbage if that's what they were, sponsorship or not! Keep it up
Great vid Kyle. I run WRG4 Nokians on my MX-30. They work really well even in snow. It’s nice not to need 2 sets anymore considering I only drive about 7500 miles a year.
I remember when I lived in Denver seeing all the people heading up into the mountains for skiing without proper tires. On one snowy and slippery day I saw a jeep Cherokee that had flipped over into the ditch. The roof was so crushed that the side window opening was about 6 inches. Can’t imagine anyone survived. The crossclimate 2 has been really popular. Hopefully these all weather tires continue to evolve. As you say many don’t want to do wheel swaps.
In a place like the Front Range, wouldn’t y’all have some pretty big temperature swings in the fall & spring (and maybe even sometimes in winter) that would be outside the operating range of both winter and summer tires?
@@ryanevans2655honestly it’s not that cold. I’m originally from MN and now back in WI. Here we get months were it barely cracks 0F. In Denver it often is close to the freezing point which makes it really slippery. Going up into the mountains it does get colder though. That change is where the all weather tires would come in. Kyle’s description in the beginning as reason for the all weather tire is spot on.
When it came time to buy new tires for my LR4 I went on the forums and the WRG4 was the tire of choice. We've done a few cross country summer trips (minimal road noise) and have been up and over Loveland Pass most of this winter with great traction in ice and snow. Super excited to try the WRG5s next time around!
I agree with all your observations (despite the video being primarily a Nokian ad😉). My experience has been with the Michelin Cross Climate vs. snow tires from Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, and Bridgestone. I have lived for the last 30 years in MN and north central WI, where snow ice and cold are the norm for 4 to 5 months. The cross climates are as good or even better on snow and ice than any dedicated winter tire I have owned. They are also as competent or better on non winter conditions as any of the so called "touring" all season tires that ever came as standard equipment in any of the more than a dozen vehicles I've bought in that time frame. In fact, as close to the "perfect tire" I've ever seen. They are fairly expensive and some have complained of excessive wear compared to other long treadwear tires. In my book they are a bargain simply since they completely eliminate the endles chore of swapping tires on multiple cars every darned year.❤
May 2 - just installed my WRG5’s on my Model X LR 2019 Raven. Drove 45 miles back from Reno to Truckee. Noticeable improvement in drive dynamics. Quieter than the stock continental tires and better handling. Today it was 65F but a big snowstorm is coming in for Sat-Sun. It will be great to test the snow performance with 8”-18” expected where we are (6,700’ el). Thanks for the review - helped make my decision to go nokian for my 3-season tiers. I have the studded nokians for winter which are awesome
I put the WR G4's on my Bolt the same month I got it. Huge improvement just in the normal rain and dry from the torque but it really helped in Chicago winter, which is usually just cold dry roads.
All my golfs R and my current one MK8 DSG had/have dedicated winter wheels and tires. And I do not even live in snow region. I want maximum capabilities of the vehicle at any given time of the year.
The BEST comment was made at 4:43 where he said "What if you live where it gets cold most of the time, and you have ice and snow to deal with, but then you also get some really warm days, where it gets into the 60s where it is just too hot for most winter tires." Well, winter tires can easily handle up to 65F, but not 70F. If you get 70F (or more) in the winter, and then you also get a few days of snow, then the WRG5 all-weather tire is the tire for you.
Great video, thanks for sharing content about tires I think it's really important. Could you in your next video share more information like efficiency and acoustics inside the car? Thanks again
I'm looking forward to seeing reviews in the future that compare this tire with the Cross Climate 2. I'm considering going down this option instead of winter tires for next year. I currently just have all seasons that came with my car but they will be due for replacement in a few months and I'm torn between going for summer/winter tire combo or all weather tires.
I also bought a set based on this review, tires 🛞 are good but unfortunately very loud with a heavy humming sound. I have 2 sets of wheels 20” &22” and have Conties OME and I think I’m going back to them. Good luck on yours.
@@dukea4580, I tend to agree, that on uneven surfaces they were noticeably louder than the summer Continentals that were previously on the vehicle. Maybe have a couple thousand mile on them now.
Thank you for the video. You influenced me into ordering these as a primary set for my ID.4 to run 3/4 of the year. Now I just need help finding a really quiet touring tire for summer.
Would you please ask Nokian to offer this in Model Y 19" OEM size? Have been waiting for them to offer it for WR G4; so disappointed they're still ignoring the Model Y 19" size with WR G5!
Great video Nokian tires are definitely one of the best tires out there. If not, the best winter tire out there haven’t found one better when I don’t have a set of extra rims for my vehicle I usually go with an all terrain tire never an all season and they perform really well but I always make sure they have the snow and ice symbol on them. But if I do have a side of extra rims Nokian tires are the way to go. But I definitely agree. It’s all about application and conditions. My all-terrain that run right now on my truck are 18/32 most people don’t run that size of tread. Again, thanks great video great review.
I'm ready to see what the Tyre Reviews @tyrereviews channel has to see on review of these. The Michelin CrossClimate and CrossClimate2 have been tops of the AllWeather tires for awhile now. He generally likes the Nokian winter tires in testing, will be curious to see where these rank.
I hate the cross climates. They don’t last and they have poor performance when driving hard. And they’re so freaking soft they last for only 7,000 miles
Just did the Nokian One all-season mostly because my Nokian R3's are still in good shape - but once those are done, I will most likely go this route next time. Fits the PNW / Washington / Oregon traveling we do.
I love the efficiency numbers on my Nokian One tires....but the ride is so harsh and wet pavement traction is lousy due to the hard compound. I switched to CrossClimate 2 and the ride improvement was night and day. I know my Wh/mi is down and I won't get as many miles out of them....but I'm addicted to the ride and the grip.
@@rctezluh42069super harsh ride on my model 3. Also, the hard compound makes gives great efficiency and longevity but the traction on wet pavement isn't great. I switched to Michelin Cross Climate 2. They won't go as many miles and they cost me a little range but the ride and grip are worth it to me.
@@ron2280 my ride is great with little slip and this is in the rain? My r3s don't perform well in general driving but it's also a snow tire so I don't expect it to unless it's the actual condition. The ones have been great on my car.
@@AustinFerguson I didn't realize it either until I switched to the Michelins. The softer compound and the unreinforced sidewalls are the difference. My Model 3 is not heavy enough to need the reinforced sidewalls. It handles just fine on regular car tires. Hard to beat the Nokian One tread life though. I put 30k miles on them and am still around 50%.
This is a great video. However, there are cases where you get cold temperatures but really no snow or ice. I believe Kyle lived near Raleigh NC before. We don’t get snow or ice here anymore but we do get low temperatures in January and February each year. You could almost get away with using summer tires year round here except for January and February. However, this really is the perfect case for a true all season tire that leans more towards a summer tire as opposed to an all weather tire. It gives you the performance you want even down to temperatures below freezing but it also is much more efficient and quieter than a winter or even an all weather tire would be. The main thing is picking the exact right tire for your particular location and your driving style. It is great that we have so many good options now for all scenarios.
Winter tires are not just for snow. They are also for cold weather. The rubber compound on a winter tire is designed to grip the road (dry) while it’s cold compared to summer tires where the rubber compound is geared for warmer temperatures. A winter tire will not grip the road as good in warm weather and a summer tire will not grip the road as good in cold weather. So, yes the tread of a winter tire is designed for snow. However, the rubber compound is designed for cold weather.
@@Itsme-vo4fx an all season tire will work just as well as a winter tire for temperatures that aren’t extremely cold. However, the all season tire will handle very warm temperatures MUCH better than the winter tire.
The typical Nokian summer and winter tires are often lower rolling resistance - the Hakka R winter tire in particular is great for minimal reduction in range.
Kyle thanks for this video I am in the process of buying new tires for my Tesla so this is very interesting to me I am looking at all seasons right now just trying to find the best ones.
I don't doubt these Nokians are good for a do it all tire, but I'm sticking to dedicated winters in Salt Lake City. In my experience, regret is almost exclusive to the compromised decision.
I have an MSP and when I switched from the PS4S to the PSAS4 the consumption stayed the same, dry handling was almost as good but not quite, wet handling was as good or better, and driving in R2 CA chain controls was fine with no drama. I fall into the “go to the snow” category and I have no regrets about my choice.
We need all weather tires for rivian 21” wheels. I have all weather tires on all my other cars, except the rivian where I’m stuck w crappy 21” oem tires during the winter months.
I saw a report that indicating the negative camber in the rear suspension causes excessive rear tire wear. It happens when the car lowers at highway speed or towing.
Thanks Kyle. I didn't see any mention of the expected mileage you might get out of one of these . Any idea? I have the original tires on my MY, not expecting them last much over 15k (lead foot). I'm definitely keeping these on my short list for new tires. Wait a minute, that road you are driving down looks very familiar. That looks like Taft that turn into Wilson, yes there's Woodward. I commute that way to work. Small world.
Hey Kyle...(Big old Hakk fan myself. I heel like I'm a rally driver when I use them) You seem to be the guy who knows stuff. Can you do an episode on why low profile tires are less efficient than high profile ones?
Thank you , Kyle for the great video. Thinking to buy all-weather for my tesla m3 rwd, l live in Vancouver area and occasionally driving to the mountains for skiing. Not sure if all-weather enough for rear wheel drive. Also , I don’t know how much it compromises efficiency and range compared to all season tires.
Just got the WRG4 for my Model S 2015… 😢 didnt know they had a new one coming. My previous WRG4 only lasted 50.000 KM.. But i was able to use milage warranty to get 30% discount as they were supposed to last 70.000km
I endorse a different tire, the Pirelli P-Zero All Season Electric (electric is part of description) tire. For my Tesla Model 3P I got Martian 18" wheels and put on these Pirelli P-Zero All Season Electric tires which were 235/45/18. My usual efficiency on a trip is something like 281 wh/mile.
These have been out for months and are still almost impossible to buy anywhere. Not stocked at discount tire, tire rack, amazon, Walmart, only the small sites like simpletire where warranty is a hassle and you have to find somewhere to install them
Was there a video detailing Makayla's selling of the ID4? I seem to remember that she was having some troubles - would enjoy hearing more about that. What did she replace it with? Thanks for the tire purchasing tips.
Not really applicable to me, but I can testify to how much I love my new Nokan One tires on my ‘21 M3 SR+! The OEM Michelins gave me about 38k miles before I got the Nokians. My lifetime average was 237 Wh/mile on the Michelins. Since I’ve switched to the Nokians about 3,500 miles ago, I’ve averaged 231 Wh/mile. The comfort, noise, and handling have all been excellent. So if the Ones are any indication of Nokian quality, I’m sure these all weather tyres are awesome as well!
@@randyshanofsky9903 they are listed as all season but they are rated for snow as well. I don’t think Michelin has a category of “all weather” tires but the CC2s are pretty good
The important thing to check for is the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake), which is the de facto measure of "all-weather", and requires passing some basic testing in snow. 3PMSF is a higher rating than M+S (Mud and Snow), which doesn't mean much. The Michelins and Nokians both have the 3PMSF rating. That doesn't mean the tires have the same performance in all conditions, and you'd need to do some research with publications/organizations putting them head-to-head to get more details.
The legendary Michelin CC2's were horrible in fresh Sierra cement. They great when you're driving after the plows come through. Too bad the Remedy WR G5 came out after I bought the Hakka 9 unstudded from Wal-Mart for cheap
The real questions are how does the Nokian WRG5 compare to the King of All Weather tires: Michelin CrossClimate2? If the Nokian has similar snow and wet weather grip with superior rolling resistance for better efficiency, then I’m sold.
@@azimmer328gaming8 the CC2s are popular for a reason but they really suck the range down on EVs (8-10% range loss). If the Nokians are even half that, it’s a huge improvement.
Greatings from Norway It puzzles me that Europe doesn't get 3-season or these all wheater.. i.e. Nokian and Continental is big here, but we don't get this WRG5 (or 4), Conti DWS6 or what it's called. And you (america) don't get some of the tyres we get. Nokian we have Wheatherproof, WR snowproof, and then the R5 (nordic), well plus the studded... What also puzzles me is that in Norway, and I guess Sweden and Finland, you pretty much can't buy tyres like wheatherproof, Goodyear vector 4season. Tyres that I would say is a great summertyre here as summer normally is pretty cold, and in many places you can have snow and ice in pretty much any month.. Also spring and fall is difficult all over, "everyone" is shocked both spring and fall creating a mess with lots of cars on normal summertyres. The reasoning a I understand it is that those are "not suited for Norvegian winter"..
Kind reminder for some countries: all-season tires cover only 3 seasons, not 4 seasons. So if your roads are covered in snow in winter and 6 months later you have HOT summers, you are unable to cover whole year with just one set of tires.
In northeast. Sticking with P Zero for summer and spring but want a colder month swap for lower temps and definitely some snow storms. In your opinion, would these, or CC2s, or a dedicated snow be a better balance considering handling, inclement weather performance, comfort, and especially range? Expertise request! Thanks!
Next time stop at Colorado Cherry company! We ate there almost every day we were in Estes Park. Also, how do the All-weather tires compare range-wise to All season? We all know winter reduces EV range so that affects tire selection also. Would the Nokian All weather have increased rolling resistance over All seasons?
Great video Kyle! I’m definitely going to get these tires. Is that color on that Model X Ultra Red? I ordered 2024 MYP in Ultra Red to replace my leased MYLR. I’m so excited, can’t wait.
Can you review the new Model Y stock tires Pirelli SCORPION MS that came on my Dec 14 "born" 2023 MY LR from giga Texas? Curious how they perform in the snow.
Everything I saw is similar to Continental ExtremeContact DWS 6+ tires that i had on all my cars. Even the tread pattern seems like a copy:) Could you add a comparison video? I also wonder how the Continental tire would perform in EVs.
At 13:14 he says "Let's get this Prius out of the way....." and then the video interrupts and when it comes back the Prius is gone. I wonder what he did to the Prius.
Don't think you mentioned the efficiency of the tire. I just got Michelin cross climates on my M3. My efficiency has gone down by around 20 percent from 277 WH per mile to 333, Good tires but I'm bummed about the loss of range.
Any idea if they are making these tires for the 2021 model s arachnid wheels? I just bought one out of state and have it parked on summer tires while doing research
Really wish somebody would compare these directly with the cross climate 2's. Like.. one car with these on and one car with the CC2's following each other in the same conditions.
I just got the CC2 because of the lack of reviews and tests.
@SharingAccount-lw9gw nice! I git the weatheractives. No complaints yet..have 2k miles on them but nothing other than dry and rain which they have done well in

pothole protection replacement is only for 12 months and 60 percent tread left (40 percent wear)
Nokian FTW!
I saw a report that indicating the negative camber in the rear suspension causes excessive rear tire wear. It happens when the car lowers at highway speed or towing.
Really wish they made these for the ID.4! Shopping now and the Ones are the only option from Nokian...
Thanks Kyle. I didn't see any mention of the expected mileage you might get out of one of these . Any idea?
I have the original tires on my MY, not expecting them last much over 15k (lead foot). I'm definitely keeping these on my short list for new tires.
Wait a minute, that road you are driving down looks very familiar. That looks like Taft that turn into Wilson, yes there's Woodward. I commute that way to work. Small world.
Hey Kyle...(Big old Hakk fan myself. I heel like I'm a rally driver when I use them)
You seem to be the guy who knows stuff.
Can you do an episode on why low profile tires are less efficient than high profile ones?
You doing a 50 in a 25 zone. Great video though, love the Nokians
How do the Nokian tires compare to Hankook tires for EV’s?? Thanks for your response
Michelin Cross Climate 2 VS Pirelli Scorpion Weather Active vs Nokian WRG5? Tough choice!
Thank you , Kyle for the great video. Thinking to buy all-weather for my tesla m3 rwd, l live in Vancouver area and occasionally driving to the mountains for skiing. Not sure if all-weather enough for rear wheel drive. Also , I don’t know how much it compromises efficiency and range compared to all season tires.
How much range would you be giving up compared to the stock tires?
Just got the WRG4 for my Model S 2015… 😢 didnt know they had a new one coming. My previous WRG4 only lasted 50.000 KM.. But i was able to use milage warranty to get 30% discount as they were supposed to last 70.000km
How does the wh/mile look like? Thank you!!
What are the WRG5 specs and mileage ratings. Where can you get these tires??
I endorse a different tire, the Pirelli P-Zero All Season Electric (electric is part of description) tire. For my Tesla Model 3P I got Martian 18" wheels and put on these Pirelli P-Zero All Season Electric tires which were 235/45/18. My usual efficiency on a trip is something like 281 wh/mile.
Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive are highly rated.
The P-Zero isn't comparable to the WRG5 in snow/ice
My Volvo came with these. Pure garbage imo. Sidewalls are made of porcelain and the grip is not great.
These have been out for months and are still almost impossible to buy anywhere. Not stocked at discount tire, tire rack, amazon, Walmart, only the small sites like simpletire where warranty is a hassle and you have to find somewhere to install them
anyone know the size to get to put these on a set of model y gemini wheels?
Was there a video detailing Makayla's selling of the ID4? I seem to remember that she was having some troubles - would enjoy hearing more about that. What did she replace it with? Thanks for the tire purchasing tips.
Michelin Cross climate 2 is the best. I think it would be good if you do a comparison.
Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive beats CC2 in many categories. CC2 is not the best anymore, except wear.
Not really applicable to me, but I can testify to how much I love my new Nokan One tires on my ‘21 M3 SR+!
The OEM Michelins gave me about 38k miles before I got the Nokians. My lifetime average was 237 Wh/mile on the Michelins.
Since I’ve switched to the Nokians about 3,500 miles ago, I’ve averaged 231 Wh/mile. The comfort, noise, and handling have all been excellent.
So if the Ones are any indication of Nokian quality, I’m sure these all weather tyres are awesome as well!
Are the Michelin cross climate 2 considered all weather? How does it compare to this?
Yes they are. Arguably one of the best that money can buy.
Double check. I believe they are All Season.
@@randyshanofsky9903 they are listed as all season but they are rated for snow as well. I don’t think Michelin has a category of “all weather” tires but the CC2s are pretty good
They are and they are what I currently run on my EV6 as well as my wife’s 3.
The important thing to check for is the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake), which is the de facto measure of "all-weather", and requires passing some basic testing in snow. 3PMSF is a higher rating than M+S (Mud and Snow), which doesn't mean much. The Michelins and Nokians both have the 3PMSF rating.
That doesn't mean the tires have the same performance in all conditions, and you'd need to do some research with publications/organizations putting them head-to-head to get more details.
Please do an efficiency test of these vs all seasons
It appears they only go up to 20" size, so this won't work on the stock wheels that come on the Plaid X.
The legendary Michelin CC2's were horrible in fresh Sierra cement. They great when you're driving after the plows come through.
Too bad the Remedy WR G5 came out after I bought the Hakka 9 unstudded from Wal-Mart for cheap
The real questions are how does the Nokian WRG5 compare to the King of All Weather tires: Michelin CrossClimate2?
If the Nokian has similar snow and wet weather grip with superior rolling resistance for better efficiency, then I’m sold.
This is exactly what I need to know I’m getting close to buy another set of tires and was sold on the cross climates and now I’m on the fence
@@azimmer328gaming8 the CC2s are popular for a reason but they really suck the range down on EVs (8-10% range loss). If the Nokians are even half that, it’s a huge improvement.
Greatings from Norway
It puzzles me that Europe doesn't get 3-season or these all wheater..
i.e. Nokian and Continental is big here, but we don't get this WRG5 (or 4), Conti DWS6 or what it's called. And you (america) don't get some of the tyres we get.
Nokian we have Wheatherproof, WR snowproof, and then the R5 (nordic), well plus the studded...
What also puzzles me is that in Norway, and I guess Sweden and Finland, you pretty much can't buy tyres like wheatherproof, Goodyear vector 4season. Tyres that I would say is a great summertyre here as summer normally is pretty cold, and in many places you can have snow and ice in pretty much any month.. Also spring and fall is difficult all over, "everyone" is shocked both spring and fall creating a mess with lots of cars on normal summertyres.
The reasoning a I understand it is that those are "not suited for Norvegian winter"..
Kind reminder for some countries: all-season tires cover only 3 seasons, not 4 seasons.
So if your roads are covered in snow in winter and 6 months later you have HOT summers, you are unable to cover whole year with just one set of tires.
Great information KYLE, thank you again!
In northeast. Sticking with P Zero for summer and spring but want a colder month swap for lower temps and definitely some snow storms. In your opinion, would these, or CC2s, or a dedicated snow be a better balance considering handling, inclement weather performance, comfort, and especially range? Expertise request! Thanks!
good review, though pothole guarantee is only for 1 year or 60% of tread wear. Would have been nice to see more driving on snow/ice surfaces.
Next time stop at Colorado Cherry company! We ate there almost every day we were in Estes Park. Also, how do the All-weather tires compare range-wise to All season? We all know winter reduces EV range so that affects tire selection also. Would the Nokian All weather have increased rolling resistance over All seasons?
Nice Kyle!
Do the newer model X’s have the dreaded acceleration shudder like others you have mentioned? Some say it’s the half shafts.
Where can I buy these tires? Can’t find them 255/45R19 anywhere!
You might be able to size up to a 255/50R19. Other owners have done this with other tires, not a guarantee though.
Great content. What size are you running?
Great video Kyle! I’m definitely going to get these tires. Is that color on that Model X Ultra Red?
I ordered 2024 MYP in Ultra Red to replace my leased MYLR. I’m so excited, can’t wait.
Can you review the new Model Y stock tires Pirelli SCORPION MS that came on my Dec 14 "born" 2023 MY LR from giga Texas? Curious how they perform in the snow.
How's the Tesla's efficiency with the WR G5 vs your old set of tires?
Everything I saw is similar to Continental ExtremeContact DWS 6+ tires that i had on all my cars. Even the tread pattern seems like a copy:) Could you add a comparison video? I also wonder how the Continental tire would perform in EVs.
These all weather tires (like this and the cross climate 2) are much better in snow than the dws.
Kyle, I am buying a Tesla X Plad and like the Martian MWO 5 wheels and the Nokian WRG5 tires . But can i get them in 22 by 10 1/2 to fit
Is there an efficiency hit compared to a typical all season tire?
Doesn't the round steering wheel cover the speed limit signs on the screen?
You were wearing perfect a-tire for the video. You are definitely a tire nerd.
Kyle, I need to replace the 20” stock ATs on my R1T. What do you have on yours or what would you buy?
How do they compare to cross climates?. Have MXLR. THX.
Does he talk about the noise anywhere in the video? That's all I really care about
Are we going to get these in 255/45R19 for Model Y ?
remedy run on flat? or Wrg4? I can't find. I want rof all weather.
How do these complete to Michelin Cross Climate 2?
Would these tires work for your dad’s car as it splits time between Conn. and Florida? Very warm in Florida.
I swear I saw your double in Waterville maine Walmart yesterday
I wonder what the wear rate is like.
How quiet are these compared to all seasons and other all weather tires?
SOLD! I know what to aim for when I buy my 2025 EV in several months.
Whats the range difference you see?
At 13:14 he says "Let's get this Prius out of the way....." and then the video interrupts and when it comes back the Prius is gone. I wonder what he did to the Prius.
Don't think you mentioned the efficiency of the tire. I just got Michelin cross climates on my M3. My efficiency has gone down by around 20 percent from 277 WH per mile to 333, Good tires but I'm bummed about the loss of range.
That drop is not all from the tires. Most likely tires and weather. CC2s drop range closer to 8%-10%.
They don't fit the 19” on the model y
Any idea if they are making these tires for the 2021 model s arachnid wheels? I just bought one out of state and have it parked on summer tires while doing research
