StrengthsThe Giti Control P10 is the standout of the test and one of the original-equipment tyres fitted to the Tesla Model 3. It led every wet test, was quickest around the dry handling course, and ran comfortably the lowest rolling resistance of the three, which matters most for EV range. It feels genuinely tuned for the car. ConsiderationsThe only area where the Control P10 gives ground is interior noise, where it was the loudest of the three on both smooth and rough surfaces. The margins are small, but drivers sensitive to cabin noise will notice it, and in an EV there is no engine sound to mask it.

StrengthsThe Michelin e.Primacy is the quietest and most refined tyre in the test, best on both smooth and rough interior noise, and it recorded the shortest dry braking of the three. As a replacement tyre it also carries Michelin's usual long-mileage reputation, which owners chasing everyday value will appreciate. ConsiderationsThe weakness of the e.Primacy is efficiency: it had the highest rolling resistance of the three, which costs EV range, and it could not match the original-equipment Giti in the wet. It is a comfort and durability choice rather than the sharpest or most efficient option here.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Turanza T005 EV is the second of the Tesla original-equipment tyres, and it leans towards comfort and efficiency. It was among the quieter tyres on both road surfaces and returned solid rolling resistance, so it makes an easy, refined everyday companion. ConsiderationsThe Turanza T005 EV was the weakest of the three for grip and handling, trailing in wet braking, wet handling and especially subjective dry handling, where driver confidence dropped away. It also trailed the other original-equipment tyre, the Giti, on efficiency.

These are calculated scenarios, not new test awards. The published verdict may reflect judgement, close results and factors outside this calculation.
Not ranked: a measurement needed for these weights is missing. Missing results are not treated as zero or redistributed.
Reference tyres provide context only. They do not set the benchmark and cannot win the personalised ranking.
Weighting vs real impact
What decides this ranking
The weighting is how much each category counts. The real impact is how much of the difference between the tyres it creates: a discipline in which every tyre performed about the same barely changes the order, however much it counts.
No weighting is recorded for this test, so the weighting here starts from Tyre Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Dry Weighting 35% Real impact 26%
- Wet Weighting 50% Real impact 37%
- Comfort Weighting 5% Real impact 1%
- Rolling Resistance Weighting 10% Real impact 36%
- Rolling Resistance counts for 10% of the score but creates 36% of the difference between the tyres, because their results in it were far apart.
- Wet Handling counts for 22% of the score but creates only 7% of the difference, because most tyres performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 9
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking | 16.1% | 5% |
| Dry Handling | 15.8% | 13% |
| Subj. Dry Handling | 3.2% | 8% |
| Wet Braking | 22% | 25% |
| Wet Handling | 22% | 7% |
| Subj. Wet Handling | 6% | 4% |
| Noise | 2.5% | <1% |
| Rough Noise | 2.5% | 1% |
| Rolling Resistance | 10% | 36% |
How it is worked out: each discipline’s weighting is multiplied by the spread of its results (the gap across the middle half of the tyres, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tyres; it is not a second set of weights, and it follows the weights you set.
How your ranking is calculated
Each discipline is scored against the best non-reference tyre in the full test field: best ÷ result × 100 when lower is better, or result ÷ best × 100 when higher is better. Discipline scores are rounded to two decimal places, then combined using your weights.
Within-category weights divide that category’s share of the overall score. A 50% wet category and 40% wet-braking share give wet braking 20% of the total. A weight is a scoring priority, not a measure of its actual effect on the ranking: the performance gaps matter too. What decides this ranking ↑
Published joint positions are preserved separately. Calculated positions tie only when their underlying scores match; two displayed scores can look equal after rounding.
A zero weight excludes that category or discipline. At least one active discipline is required, and the disciplines in every active category must have a positive total.
