So hopefully I no longer need another alloy, but if you do happen to have one spare get in touch...………..
I'd never leave my Michelin summers on my S8 or Model S after November - though I agree about swapping them back on as late as May Winter PA4s are much, much safer on any winter surface, whether that be snow, ice, or just colder road surfaces. I was in a Model 3 performance on Monday afternoon, shod with MPS4S's, and it was much more jittery than it should have been. Winters all day long between November and April for me.
