Tesla Model S Tyres

Poor handling, bor road feel. But worst of all the noise!
So much resonans from the tire i swaped to other brand efter 2 month

Ok tire, but starten dry cracking after a summer with a lot of driving.

Maybe better for light cars
Not rekommende for heavy cars like my tesla model s

AT least low noise

Having not long brought my Tesla Model S that was fitted with Budget tyres. Run flats that made the card lack comfort and stability when driving. I immediately found the car handled far better in all weather conditions. (Not driven in snow or icy conditions yet.)
The tyres have made the driving experience much more enjoyable and comfortable. I will update in 10000 miles.

Not bad for a low budget Chinese winter tire. There's a slight pitching notice at speeds above 90km/h, which is obviously more noticeable because I drive an electric car. But it's not that bad, and quite bearable. Rolling resistance is decent. Feedback not that good, and steering response is a bit slow. But for a set of 19" that costed 360e, you cannot really complain, no? If they can last for two seasons, I'd say it's absolutely best bang for the buck on the market right now.

Nice performing tire, and a good price too. Works well in the rain and dry conditions. Acceptable in the snow, but not as good as a true snow tire. These tires wore out quickly - I have had them for 15 months and 27,000 km (17,000 miles) and they are nearly down to the wear indicators.

Had to buy these in a pinch for the rear of my car. Absolutely horrendous steering feel and handling. Super unpredictable and felt awful at higher speeds. It wandered all over the road. Comfort was average and can't comment on life span as these stayed on the car just long enough for me to drive home. Replaced with Michelin PS4S and the difference is astronomically high. Would look at other options.

Took a bit of a gamble on going for these brand new Hankooks, with only half a review/test out when I ordered them. Chose them anyway since I was very pleasantly surprised with how well the S1 EVO 3 that came with my previous Tesla handled. I'm indeed very happy I went with these, they are -very- quiet and offer excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. Handling under high load/speed is excellent too. The only thing they lack a bit is road feedback compared to the Michelin PS4 they replaced when not pushing on them, but my car ain't that great on that front anyway.

Very quiet, soft and comfortable ride, seems to handle very well over the first 800 miles. I am shocked that they are so inefficient however. My 2018 AWD Model S has averaged 266Wh/mile for the first 3 sets of tires over 90,000 miles. So far the Turanza EV is averaging 281Wh/mile, a loss of range of about 11%. The only way they can make up for that loss is to last longer than the 30,000 miles the previous tires have lasted. I hope they do.

I previously had the Goodyear Asymmetric 5 and they lasted 62000km (38500 mi). The Asymmetric 6 lasted less than 16000 km (10000 mi) and in fact they had been done for at least 3000 km since when I was going to rotate the tyres when I saw they were completely flat, I was surprised such a short life; the front ones were a little bit better but almost done as well. Maybe it's a quality problem but I took the car to the same shop and had installed the previous version, the Asymmetric 5. I hope they perform equally as the ones I had 3 years before. I drive very very smoothly and gently and my driving style hasn't changed. I wouldn't buy them again and I wouln't recommed them to anybody eventhough the tyre is silent and the grip is great.

After the preliminary review (200 miles - Tesla Model S, 11 Aug 2023) I thought I'd come back with extra thoughts several thousand miles in:

- The efficiency gains is accurate, these helped me get some of the lowest Wh/mile I've achieved in my Model S covering quite some miles in France over the summer, and then over the autumn. I've had my MS for 130k miles so have a good feel on what is achievable, and they did very well.
- They are definitely more refined from a noise perspective.

However - I do drive "enthusiastically" and having driven them a lot more now I can state confidently that these tyres are greasier than the PS5s I had before. They are progressive in their loss of grip, so you have good feeling and there's not a moment of surprise where you suddenly lose your back-end, which obviously is a positive, and therefore I was not uncomfortable driving these, but in dry cornering they just don't hold up as well as I would want, and you feel the car sliding a little.

My wife also has a Model S with these tyres on. She is not an aggressive driver but she also noticed that they are greasier too.

I've since sold my MS and have a X. When the summer tyres on that need replacing I am very unlikely to buy these again (if they even do the size) - I just miss the grip too much. For my wife, we may stick with the Hankook's for the efficiency/noise as she is not an aggressive driver and the cost saving, and refinement/efficiency are probably worth the compromise on grip.

I have used for tesla s. At 6 mm level I decided to change to another tyre model as these ones seem not safe anymore

Given there aren't any consumer reviews on here yet, I thought I'd give my preliminary view after running them maybe 200 miles.

I bought these off the back of an autobild comparison on the exact car I have (Model S, 19" alloys) where they outperformed the OEM and where about par with Pilot Sport 5 (which is what I was running before).

So far, I'm broadly in agreement with that comparison. Pros vs PS5 (or PS4 which I had before that, or Primacy 3 OEM which it came with)

- Quieter: without a shadow of doubt. Makes the car feel more refined.
- Efficiency: hard to be 100% sure yet, as driving style, weather, temperature etc affect the efficiency of EVs, but I do believe that there is an improvement in line with that mentioned in the autobild review (~5%)
- Price: I think it was about £730 for 4 tyres vs £850 for PS5

Cons:
- Handling in dry is perhaps marginally worse, but I'm being quite picky on that. I'd say that they are ever so slightly greasier in corners, but it's marginal. It could even be due to the new compound not being worn enough.

TBC:
- Handling in wet
- Longevity

So far I'm not displeased. Will try to remember to come back in a few months time when I've driven 5-6k miles.
