The best tires for your
Tesla Model 3
will depend on a number of different factors, one of the most important being tire size.
Your owner’s manual should tell you what tire size you need to look for. As an example, one possible tire size for a 2022 Tesla Model 3 is 235/45R18. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
  • The 235 means the tire is 235 millimeters wide
  • The 45 means the tire’s height is 45% of its width
  • The R means the tire’s inner layers lie radially
  • The 18 refers to the rims’ 18-inch diameter
You’ll also want to pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index as well to make sure they’ll be compatible with your
Tesla
.
And as for tire types, here are a few options to consider:
  • All-season tires: All-season tires can be a solid option for reliable handling all year long
  • Winter/snow tires: You can switch out your summer tires for winter ones to prepare for snowy, icy roads
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires: Some UHP tires can be used year-round, while others are only meant to be used during warm seasons. They can provide added traction and improved handling, but the tread on UHP tires can wear faster than some all-season tires

car insurance
policy is giving you little to no traction, it’s probably time to replace that, too. With the top-rated
