Great tire overall, can be a bit slippery on moist surfaces. Definitely better suited to fast and sporty driving around corners then some other touring oriented tires.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Tesla Model 3 standard plus drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I have barely covered 100km on these so the review is based on initial impressions. Mounted on a Tesla model 3, I immediately notices how silent the tyres are especially above 100kmh. Also they seem to be very comfortable despite the low profile. Handling seem compliant too. As a negative, maybe the fact that it comes at 7mm tread depth as new which is low. I also expect short lifespan.
These are relatively quiet tires with good winter grip in northern Germany. However, I was blown away by how comfortable these tires are. I have Pirelli winter tires on my Model Y and previously had Vredestein Quatrac tires on this car. The Bridgestones are more comfortable than either of those, especially compared to the Vredesteins. I did not expect that. This is especially surprising given the Tyre Reviews reviews considered them sporty but not quite comfortable.
The tires were very good at first. I wanted sporty, summer-oriented all-season tires, and I found them in these tires. BUT: These are mounted for approx. 20.000km now and the wet grip and noise level have deteriorated considerably. Although I regularly changed the tires between front and rear. Would not recommend these tyres.
These tyres completely change the behaviour of my very efficient but boring Model 3. With touring tyres like the Michelin Primacy the car is difficult to control when sliding and on wet roads: all electronic systems make the car hard to control.
With the InterStates semi-slicks the car was very predictable on the dry track and the car gave me enough confidence to really push my daily driver to the limit.
Excellent grip and steering feedback: very direct steering.
Back home the tyres were very noisy: my comfort sedan felt like a go kart again.

Michelin E-Primacy in T0 Tesla OEM Spec.
Fairly quiet and OK in dry conditions.
Wet or moist conditions no grip whatsoever.
It gets even worth with colder temperatures.
Not recommended.

Fitted to a Tesla Model 3, replacing the original Michelin Sport4. The Landsail Qirin 990 tire is less lively than the Michelin, but it holds very well on dry ground and in the rain, is quieter. It costs 2 to 3 times less, purchased at the beginning of 2023 at €67, compared to almost €209 for the Michelin...in lifespan: 35,000 km, with lively driving.
Model 3 Rwd.
Fronts did 45k miles rear did 25k miles.
Could have pushed them more but became noisy at the end.
Efficiency amazing 180-190wh/mile. Cornering and traction amazing. Noise 2-3 dB lower cabin noise than my old PS4.
Amazing purchase.
Went back to them after having Continental Ultra contact NXT.
Strongly recommend. These are not the AS tyres.
AA traction and A temperature. 320 tread wear.

Second best tyre I've ever driven on, after Michelin Pilot Sport 4.
Dry grip was exceptional, almost as good as the Michelins. Under normal driving conditions, they're outstanding. It was only if I pushed them really hard did I noticed they were just a smidge less grippy than the Michelins, but they're very close.
Wet traction was pretty good, they were a bit easier to deliberately slide my Tesla with on wet roads than the Michelins, not dramatically so.
Once the tread wore a bit, probably in the last 5000kms, on a wet, smooth road, it was easy to break traction and slide them with the Tesla. But otherwise, they were still safe in the wet when worn. In the dry, they were still at about 80% of what they were new.
Pretty quiet, comfortable too.
Lasted 30,000kms which very good for me.

Frankly superb durability on the 2021 tesla model 3 SR+ unicorn motor setup. Have driven through Australian summers and torrential rain with no issues. Wet handling is great and dry handling feels like you are on rails.
