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.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev 225-45-19 Tesla Model Y rwd 24,000 miles August 25, 2026

I had these tyres stock on a brand new Model Y RWD Standard Range.
Duration: 38k km until they reach more or less 2,5mm on all 4, I switch them since I live in a rainy place, and I wanted to be safe

Comfort: Very good for a EV Tyre that's hard, they are quiet, much more quiet than the SC7 T0 that I'm running now

Handling: Not that good, average at best, not sure if it was due to running them at 2.9/3.0 bars but the Contis are so much better, I didn't like to push them at all, they were mostly a touring tyre on my view. A hard sidewall, but they didn't respond well to steering inputs.

Braking: Good in both wet and dry

Aquaplanning: Good until they reach 4mm, then the middle grooves on the middle channels disappear and they switch to being not that good, average, at best.
Nothing scary, but whenever it rained a lot I had the feeling that I should switch them ASAP.

Energy Consumption: Very good, I think I average 15,5Kwh/100km during the time that I had them

PS: One thing that I noticed is that they start to be a bit more wore on the inside, which is totally normal for Teslas as I know, but the strange thing is that the same is not happening to the SC7 now with almost 20k km

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev 255-45-19 Tesla Model Y rwd 57,000 miles August 9, 2026

My front tyres cleared a staggering 57000 miles (91000km) on my Tesla model Y RWD (..without rotating!).
Never know a tyre come anywhere near that
The rears done 30k miles and had lots of tread left but I got a nail in one, so changed both. Still Amazing bearing in mind 300bhp goes through them!

Whilst I know a top end sporty tyre would give better grip for the bends when pushing it, These never missed a beat, no aqua plaining, wheel slip or noticeable deterioration over life span. I simply don’t want to risk swapping to a different tyre and then be kicking myself when they are done by 30k miles - so ordered same again!

Continental SportContact 7 255-45-19 Tesla Model Y rwd 7,000 miles June 4, 2026
This rating is strictly for the SC7 T0 (Tesla) version, I have used the normal version of SC7, the difference is HUGE. Got to say T0 version is trash, wet grip is like none, slip everywhere, I’m not even driving that fast. Just avoid the T0 version.

Hankook iON Evo 235-55-18 Tesla Model Y rwd 3,000 miles April 27, 2026
The braking was terrible. Stay away from it. It skidded on dry ground. The tires are very soft, but it leaned into corners.

Hankook iON evo SUV 255-45-19- Tesla Model Y rwd 15,000 miles April 12, 2025
I used this tyres on my Tesla model Y and have done 23,000 kms on it. It is very good in every aspect except the wear is only average. I think it will only last about 45,000 kms on this tyres. However, it is the best value money can buy in Australia. You can consider this tyres.

Laufenn S Fit AS 255-45-19- Tesla Model Y rwd 7,000 miles January 4, 2025
I bought a Tesla Model Y rear wheel drive, 2 years old which had a new pair of these Laufenn on the rear wheels only.
Good in the dry but they lose traction in the wet something crazy, I’m not sure if this is a Tesla thing with the instant high torque but I have to be very cautious when it’s greasy, I will probably swap these with the Hankook’s on the front before next winter here in New Zealand.

Hankook iON FlexClimate 255-45-19- Tesla Model Y rwd 5,000 miles June 22, 2024
The tire does exactly what a tire is supposed to do. It takes the car and its passengers from A to B safely, discreetly and comfortably.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev 255-45-19- Tesla Model Y rwd 23,000 miles March 2, 2024
Original tyres on my Tesla model y rwd, grip good on dry, but on wet very slippy. Today is 8 celsius degree, I run them back home on wet, they slip every time when I accelerate. They run 37000km now and according to the tread depth 4mm left, they should be able to last for 50000km, quite durable. They are hard tyres, steering quick, but bounce a lot, maybe any other tyre will be more comfy than these.
