I'm looking for tire recommendations for our 2021 Model Y Long Range. We have the 19" wheels.

We've put ~33k miles on the OEM tires, but I was stupid and never bothered to rotate them. So, the rear tires have worn out faster than the fronts.

Presumably I'm looking for some variety of all-seasons. Ideally ones that won't have a detrimental impact on range.

Honestly, EVs have some really weird tire requirements because of their weight. Also since road noise is relative, you will hear the differences in tire roar between different tires much more on your Y than in regular gas cars.
The safe answer, unless you are planning to drive on snow is to just get another set of the stock tires.
Just my two cents.

That was my general conclusion. I'll have to see if Discount Tire stocks them, or Costco or wherever.

My brother put some non-ev-specific all seasons on his model 3 performance and apparently saw a 15% reduction in range so obviously I want to avoid that.
