Tesla Model 3 - Tyres

Did you notice any difference?

I shall be going for them so, great price.

What site is this? I'd be in for 4 of them right now if that was teh price - glitch or not...

I'm on my 2nd set of rear tyres now (they currently have 15k km on them, and have noticed a few slips here and there when going around certain corners... TC always kicked in though so it never got hairy

Thankfully not.. the only stickers on mine are the vinyl number plates...

I honestly can't stand cars being modded with stick on bits etc.... seen a horrendous one in the FB group this morning.. Carbon Fibre'd to within an inch of its life!!!

Tesla, the same as any other manufacturer spends a lot of time & money designing their cars, so I'll stick with their judgement in these matters.

never even thought about the region effect on tyre wear....

The way I'm seeing it is I get 30,000km from the rears, and 60,000km from the fronts, currently at 45,000km and on track for a full change at 60k.

I didn't/don't rotate them (I'll only ever put brand new tyres on the rears of a RWD car). 30k was hit during the summer, and 60k will be hit next summer, so I'll have good thread depth going through winter.

I'd suspect the front tyres would even go to 70,000+ kms if I wanted, but 60k is a nice number for a full set. Theres a lot to be said for no motor/engine on the front axle...

Tesla do them, but you'll be paying the Tesla premium for the privilege

Great info thanks @Kramer and @AndyBoBandy

Yeah, I bought online from Openeo, only got 2 for the rear and had them fitted in my local tyre place (waited til exactly 30,000km to fit), just a small place but they had no issue fitting them. They were aware that Tesla tyres were different, but I said it was grand as I was replacing acoustic tyres with non acoustic ones, and it was fine.

I brought my own jacking pucks, and when finished they hand torqued the nuts up to the (higher than standard) required torque of 175Nm.

Previously they also swapped a set of run flats on my BMW for me.

As I mentioned, I'll probably be doing all 4 this summer when I hit 60,000km, so the plan is to just do the same again. I reckon though I could get the front tyres up to 90,000km if I wanted, as at 49,000km they only look about half worn!! if even that! (They have so little weight on them (SR+), and they do almost no braking whatsoever!)

No, just my OCD......

When the tyres arrived, I was probably about 300km-400km under the 30,000km so figured to wait to change at the 30k mark, as its a nice round figure..

I'm the same with wipers! I bought a new set about 2 weeks ago, but I'll be dammed if I'm not waiting til 50,000km to put them on!! (currently on 49,171km)

I just got the wipers from Tesla, I presume they are like for like? They are Bosch.

Not that I trust the Halfords website but it does say those ones are not compatible with the car.

Last year I got 2x Michelin Pilot Sport 4 235/45 R18 98 Y XL, MFS, ZR from Openeo for €166 each, and paid €25 per wheel to fit, so worked out €191 per corner fitted, which I was happy enough with, so will most likely go the same route again this summer.

I see Openeo now have the (T0) Acoustic PS4's for €210 each!! Not sure I can stomach an extra €200 for the 4 acoustic's!!

But just looking again on Openeo;

Why would you take the PS4 over the E Primacy? E Primacy is A rated in fuel compared to the PS4's B rating, and though the PS4 is speed rated to 300km/h compared to the E Primacy's 270km/h, would that ever really matter in the real world, with speed limits? E Primacy is even coming in at 70dB compared to the 'acoustic' PS4's 71dB!

Not sure, they said i wont need to change my fronts until i need to change those rears again, so another 30k.

That would be 60k on the fronts.
