The stock tires that come with the Model 3 are quite impressive regarding their performance and mileage. If you love taking long road trips and drives, you might need to replace your Tesla Model 3 tires very soon.
Replacing your worn out tires, which tend to wear unevenly, is more of trying to match what the original tires offered. So you do not want to just pick any option out there.
For your information, the stock tires from Tesla are a bit special compared to what you will find out there. On the inside of Tesla tires are pieces of form aligned on the inner surface. Probably the form is responsible for absorbing noise produced during driving hence a quieter drive in general.
Choosing the Best Tesla Model 3 Replacement Tires
Quality of the tires should be at the top of the list if you want a quality drive. In that case, the easy approach is to opt for tires from the best brands. Some of the tire brands you should consider for your Tesla include:
- Pirelli
- Goodyear
- Michelin
When choosing a tire, be sure to consider the profile of the stock tires. The tire profile has crucial information like right wheel size, load rating, and the preferred surface of use.
Tesla owners have also been having a discussion on the best tires for their cars based on seasons. If you do not want to have two sets of tires for summer and winter seasons, you might as well consider all-season tires. Such a set will mean no need to swap them every summer and winter.
You can have the replacement done at a certified Tesla Service Center, by your mechanic, or do it yourself. Provided you have picked your preferred set of tires, you can replace the tires yourself.
