Yes, like any vehicle, tyre rotation is important. We recommend rotating your electric car tyres every 6,250 miles or when the tread depth difference between two tyres reaches 1.6 mm or more, whichever comes first. Driving aggressively can accelerate tyre wear, which may necessitate more frequent servicing.

While you can technically fit standard tyres on a Tesla Model 3, it’s not recommended. EV tyres are specifically designed to handle the unique characteristics of electric vehicles, such as extra weight and instant torque. Using non-EV-specific tyres can reduce your vehicle’s range, increase road noise, and lead to faster tyre wear. It’s always best to use tyres that are designed for electric cars to ensure optimal performance and efficiency as it standard tyres could cause serious damage.

The lifespan of Tesla Model 3 tyres depends on factors like driving style, road conditions, and maintenance. Regular tyre rotations and pressure checks can help extend their life, but most Tesla Model 3 owners will need to replace their tyres every 20,000 to 40,000 miles. Keeping an eye on tread wear and ensuring proper alignment can also prevent premature tyre wear.

While regular tyres can be used, they won’t offer the same efficiency or durability as tyres designed specifically for electric vehicles. Electric car tyres are optimised for range, load-bearing, and reduced wear.

Tyres for electric vehicles are designed to handle the increased weight from the battery, offer low rolling resistance for better energy efficiency, and provide quieter operation due to reduced engine noise. These features help maximise range and improve overall performance.

The tyres on electric vehicles are different from regular tyres as they have a reinforced sidewall to handle the extra weight of the battery packs. EV tyres also have specially designed treads to grip the road better and provide traction since they have a much higher acceleration than petrol or diesel cars. Ask us about the best EV tyres for you!
