I am a new owner of Model Y LR picked up in June 2021. I seen online with many folks saying OEM tires dont last too long etc. Any suggestions, what make and model is best suited for 20" Induction Wheels that is good for Winter(east coast) and other seasons. Hoping non-OEM tires give good mileage as well less road noise.

Well, here's a twist...
The OE Goodyear tires dropped in price and are now cheaper than the Hankook iON EVOs!
I'm now at 27,000 miles and the most worn OE Goodyear tire still has tread - I was certain it would have literally been bald by now, although it is getting close.
So, as of this moment, my plan has shifted back to the OE Goodyear tires and it looks like I'll get at least 30,000 out of the most worn tire.
Another option is to replace just that one tire and shoot for 40-45K out of the others.
I plan to buy a new Model Y when the 50,000-mile warranty ends on my current one and I'm over halfway there. If I go ahead and buy four new tires now, the next owner will need to replace them.
Decisions, decisions...

As I inch toward buying new tires, I was fairly certain that I wanted to go with Hankook ION EVO AS SUV, but now I'm considering Goodyear ElectricDrive 2.
I normally prefer OE tires, but at 28K miles on the OE Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 20" tires:
Things that are less important to me:
I normally prefer OE tires, but at 28K miles on the OE Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 20" tires:
- Tramlining started around 20K miles. Alignment is fine.
- At least two of them are wearing significantly more in the center than the edges, which is normally a symptom of overinflation. My tires have never been overinflated.
- Minor flaking/peeling of the inner tread.
- Unexpectedly short life even though I'm a gentle driver who uses Chill Mode 99.99% of the time.
- Quiet
- Smooth
- Long life
Things that are less important to me:
- Handling (this is a daily driver - not a race car)
- Winter weather performance (snow is very rare in my location)
- Wet weather performance (most days, it doesn't rain)

The Goodyears may have looked better on paper, but my instincts kept nudging me toward the Hankooks, so that's what I chose last week.
The Hankook iON evo AS SUV tires are slightly, but noticeably quieter and smoother than the original Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires. Handling seems about the same. Wet weather performance seems as good as the original tires, which surprised me with their resistance to hydroplaning even when they were worn out. I can't comment on winter weather performance yet, but the OE tires weren't particularly good in the snow.
I plan to buy a refreshed Model Y before these Hankook tires are worn out, so hopefully they last at least as long as the original Goodyear tires.
Four new tires at Discount Tire cost $1,410.16 with tax and that was WITH a discount of about $40 per tire. There is also a $120 mail-in rebate which brings the total down to $1,290.16. Naturally, Discount Tire scratched ALL FOUR WHEELS in varying places to varying degrees, so they will be paying to have them refinished. Most people wouldn't notice or care about the minor damage, but I do. Initially, they said it looked like curb rash to them, but they finally agreed that it was their fault and offered a partial refund or repair. I opted to have them repaired.
Initially, I am pleased with the Hankook tires and recommend them over the Goodyears. We'll see how they hold up over time.

As of today, 10 Feb 2025, I have 35,000 miles on my PSAS4s. They look like they still have about half of the tread left. I'll probably change them before next winter because I want enough tread to be able to have some traction in snow.
I had Cross Climate 2 tires on my previous vehicle and absolutely loved them! I am actively looking for some for my preowned MY, but I haven’t been able to find the correct size 😡

I now have almost 10,000 miles on the Hankook tires. I haven't rotated them yet because I figured I would have purchased a new Model Y and sold this one before the first rotation was due, but I haven't got around to doing that yet.
I measured the tread depth today. Three were at 9/32". The right rear was at 8/32". The tires started at 10/32".
At this same mileage, the OE tires were at 7/32" except for the right front, which was at 6/32". These tires started at 8/32".
I'm guessing the Hankook tires will last about 40,000 miles compared to 30,000 miles for the Goodyear tires mostly because the former started with more tread. The wear rate seems similar - at least for the first 10,000 miles.
Overall, I am still pleased with the Hankook tires and would purchase them again.
