Yeah, this is definitely a part of the issue. If only I could lower the Tesla TPMS squawking threshold... Right now I have them about as low as they can go without triggering the warnings, at 39 psi @ 10 F. (Tesla claims they want 44 all around!)

Hankook winter tires have good grip accelerating and braking, but add in some yaw and their performance drops off quickly. Braking around a corner will lead to some raised eyebrows (at the very least). Hakka R2/3 will offer more grip when the steering wheel is turned, and break away with more predictability. FWIW I was pretty impressed with the Goodyear Ultragrips I had on my C63. They performed very nicely, and handled wet slush very well. |

I switched from Michelin X-Ice 3s to Hakkapellita R3s for ice racing. Night and day difference.
Nokians must be witchcraft. |

If you can deal with studded tires, their Hakka 7/8/9/whatever version they are on now ROCK! Back in the day the Subaru was rocking Hakka 4 studded tires and they were amazing. The difference between them and the X-Ice2s that I went to was the same difference as an all-season vs. a winter tire. If it wasn't against condo regulations to have studded tires in the garage I would have kept them. |

Model Y on the road in CA next to a 3. I can’t see how any reasonably sized person will be able to sit in that third row. I will make sure to have a picture taken of me in that row when they make it to my local Tesla store. |

Isn’t there some rear passenger crash testing protocol coming out soon? That will be interesting to see for these fastback vehicles.

Those from 4 Wheel and Offroad? They and Edmunds are the only ones who publish RTI figures even semi-regularly, it seems. I stuck with Edmunds in the above list this time since they test more "normal" vehicles.
To me it seems there are 3 categories, more or less: Street vehicles. These have IRS, have their vulnerable exhausts routed below the center crossmember (or whatever the technical term is), and have RTIs of 334 and lower. Self-respecting competent off-road vehicles not designed specifically for this test. These have a solid rear axle and thus tucked away exhausts and end up with RTIs from 350-450. Flexy flyers, ones where the designers explicitly made flex a priority. See disconnecting swaybars, off-road packages, KDSS here. 450+ RTI, noting the 200 series Land Cruiser to be the champion of Edmunds' data, for what little that's worth in reality. In reality tire choice and traction control calibration most likely are the determining factors in 99% of scenarios, but it's still a fun topic to think about if you're me. |

I'm not too sure, someone on a forum grabbed the info from a TFL blog/video or something where they tested those models.
One surprising thing with my truck is there didn't seem to be any consideration for the massive exhaust tip hanging out the back waiting to be crunched. Damn thing is probably 4" diameter and isn't tucked at all. Only one company makes a DPF-back system that tucks the tip up near the bumper, and they want nearly $500 for it. |

That's because showing off your truck-anus is more important than off-road performance, of course.
