Tesla Model 3 standard plus Tyre Review Highlights
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.

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.

Unfortunately, this tire does not live up to the manufacturer's claims; it is all marketing hype. While the price is low, the quality reflects it and you get what you pay for.

The tires that came with the new BYD Yuan Up feel very unsafe, especially on wet surfaces. They seem to slip easily on grass and even on wet roads. Despite my very conventional driving style—never accelerating past 100 km/h—the tires feel like they are about to lose grip on regular turns at speeds above 80 km/h. On some occasions, even when starting the car from a stationary position, such as leaving the garage with minimal force, the tires feel like they are slipping. I would not purchase these tires again.

For contents review is from Australia
I’ve done approximately 124,000km at time of writing this the car is almost 2yrs old in February 2025. Tyres have been thoroughly tested.
Having the pilot sport 4 tyres that came with the Tesla model 3 and getting 80k km out of those tyres I switched to the hankook ion evo after a lot of research. They are Horrible in the wet! the car doesn’t corner anywhere near aswell in the dry with 40k km on them they will need replacing by 50k km. The pilot sport 4 a week out from replacing in moderate rain wouldn’t break traction would grip even after several intentional attempts. Would not recommend hankooks regretted buying them never again.

Everyday drive tyres, coming from a Michelin Pilot Sport 4 I used before, the first impression is the Pirelli lack precision and reactivity; however, always at a first glance, they are far more grippier. After more than one year, I can confirm the great grip in all the driving situations I encountered, through all the seasons and all type of roads, from southern Italy to Denmark. The Pirelli Cinturato SF2 is also comfortable in noise, and rolling smoothly, both characteristic essential for EVs. The only feature that is lacking here is the BSW.

These tires came with my used Tesla model three, so I don't know about treadwear. But what I can say with surety is that, due to wet handling performance (or lack of!), I would never ever buy these tires again. Too dangerous, with sudden traction failure under mild turning force in any but ideal conditions. Also, I'm used to parallel parking by rubber-on-curb feel (think non-performance car), and the fact that the rims actually stick out PAST this tire's sidewall is super annoying, what with a mess of curb rash on my rims now, before getting used to the lack of tire feel.
