Tesla is an American electric car manufacturer that has fast become one of the best known electric vehicle brands on the market. It was founded in 2003 and combines its accolade as the top electric car manufacturer with being in the top 20 auto manufacturers in the world – demonstrating the growing demand for EVs.

Tesla has several core models, including the Tesla Model S, the Tesla Model X, and the Tesla Model 3 – each designed for a different climate, application, or driving experience.

Choosing Tyres for a Tesla

As an all-electric car brand, Tesla is at the heart of automotive innovation and development – creating vehicles which are sustainable and future-proof both in design and in engineering. Just some of the leading features that put Tesla at the forefront of the market include high quality safety features, a high performance range and distance on single battery charge, responsive handling and acceleration, and advanced technology that includes upgrades delivered seamlessly to the vehicle.

Suffice to say, if you’re considering an electric car than Tesla is often recognised as the go-to name. But how do you decide which model to choose?

Tesla’s collection is diverse, covering the needs of everyday drivers to those seeking adventurous driving experiences, off-road and multi-terrain driving functionality, and speed. The Tesla Model 3 is considered an ideal family car, mixing high performance and aerodynamic design with safety and quality.

The Tesla Model Y is an SUV with mixed driving capabilities and plenty of interior space, while the Tesla Model S is the original mass-produced Tesla, built to make EV driving more accessible. Other Tesla’s include the Tesla Model X and the Tesla Cybertruck which is a futuristic boxy vehicle that hasn’t made global distribution but is nonetheless worth mentioning for its creative and unique design.

While all of these different Tesla models suit different applications and journeys, one thing that unites them all is the attention given to OEM tyre brands and recommended fitments. For Tesla, Michelin is one of the top tyre brands, alongside Hankook, Continental and Pirelli. Any tyre that is approved formally by Tesla is marked with a T on the sidewall, with the number following that T indicating its quality rating.

Tesla Tyres FAQs
Wondering what tyres you should match with your Tesla car? Here are a few commonly asked questions and the answers from our tyre experts.
The Cybertruck is undeniably the best Tesla for off-road performance, with its all-wheel drive function and the ability to switch it into off-road driving mode with ease. It also has great ground clearance and optimal steering on challenging terrains. For a more accessible model, however, the Tesla Model Y offers off-road capabilities for long range driving and high performance driving alike.

The Tesla Model S vehicle was the brand’s first vehicle to be mass released as part of the Tesla collection, and bridges performance with safety, handling, and fuel efficiency / environmental value seamlessly. The best tyres for this vehicle are, for UK drivers, all-season tyres – including models like the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus and the Goodyear Eagle Touring OEM tyre. Some other options include Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 summer tyres, and Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tyres.

Run-flat tyres offer convenience and added safety – however, it’s important to note that they also add weight. Tesla’s are already heavy vehicles owing to the battery power, and so opting for run-flat tyres can hamper fuel efficiency. Having said that, the convenience of being able to continue driving safely even after a sudden loss of tyre pressure, makes run-flat tyres a great option for mixed terrain driving and long journeys.

Tesla is a leading EV manufacturer, recommending premium tyres that not only enhance the safety of its vehicles but are compatible with load rating and weight, the handling and acceleration of the vehicles, and their performance. Brands like Michelin, Pirelli, Hankook, Bridgestone, and Continental often top the list of recommended tyre brands.

The annual MOT in the UK looks at tyre condition as one of the core testing points, checking the tyre tread depth and how even the tread pattern wear is, as well as tyre pressure, sidewall stability, and compatibility with the vehicle.
