Tesla Model 3 LR Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 given 96% (235-45-18)
Great, always sticky to the road, wet, dry, highway, city. Quasi eternal: already 4 summer, about 40.000 miles (maybe more, I don't track precisely) and they are still good for at least 1 more season. They manage perfectly the acceleration of my model 3.
They are a bit noisy but nothing annoying, btw, it is sensible only on highway. They consume a bit more than A economy tyres: my real highway autonomy in summer is 450 km, people with same car and michelin primacy EV manage 500 km (Europe highways: 120 to 130 km/h).
For me, the long life, the grip on heavy rain definitely worth those minor inconvenience, safety first.
When I will have to finally replace them,I will try goodyear F1 eagle, which seems to be in same league, but consume a bit less.

Writing about the Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3 given 65% (235-45-18)
The tyres came on the car when I got it, with 5mm of tread left. Lasted a whole year (17k km) before I replaced them for the next winter, as we have quite cold and snowy winters here. Used for everyday driving on an AWD Model 3, a mix of motorway and city. I don't have much to compare them to, but they seemed competent enough, especially on dry and wet. They did slide around quite a bit in the snow, but breaking was more or less acceptable. Useless on ice, as most all season tyres are. No real complaints, no excessive noise, no noticeable impact on range, no weird characteristics. If you want to save some cash and have mild winters, these are definitely an option.
I replaced them with brand new Nokian SeasonProof 2 and, no surprise, the Nokians are better in the snow. We'll see how they fare in summer, I may end up switching back to the Maxxis.

Writing about the Continental PremiumContact 7 given 86% (235-45-18)
Overall a very good tyre. Excellent grip in dry and wet. Towards the end of life grip in wet was noticeably worse. I did one tyre rotation around 23000 miles and they manage to last to 35000 miles. However tyre noise was quite poor especially at higher speeds. Kept pressure a little bit under recommendation at 40psi and wear was pretty even but still a slightly more central wear. Overall I would recommend. Next set I'm going back to Bridgestone Turanza6 purely because of price at £30 cheaper per corner.

Writing about the Continental MaxContact MC7 given 83% (235-40-19)
My Tesla Model 3 Long Range had the OE Hankook Evo3 which is designed for driving range. The MC7 significantly stepped up in terms of comfort, noise, and steering feedback but the friction is much more than the stock EV tyres. Hence the driving range is reduced. When you take the pros of the tyres against the cons (pretty much only the higher friction/lower driving range), I think I made the very right decision. The noise and ride quality of the stock Hankook are pretty bad while the steering felt loose. The MC7 are also cheaper to be replaced than the EV tyres. So even the driving range is reduced, the amount of additional cost to charge up the car will be far less than cost of replacing EV tyres.
The treadwear of 360 from MC7 is higher than the stock Hankook 340. So it should last about the same mileage before the next replacement. I did about 50K from the Hankook though.
The MC7 made me at least wanting to drive my car. It made my car suddenly a limo with smoother ride and comfort and less noise. The MC7 fits the purpose of this car with bit of tradeoff with range.

Writing about the Hankook iON FlexClimate given 97% (235-45-18)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
This is a very good tyre. Before this, I had a Michelin Crossclimate 2 - and that was also a good tyre. Now, I think and feel, Hankook is better. I know, the Crossclimate 3 is out now, but I could not buy that, when I bought the Hankook. My Long Range Tesla is a rear wheel drive, more than 300LE, and it is amazing, how balanced this tyre. In Dry and Wet environment, the Flexclimate feels like one of the best of any tyre I tried. Had to tell, I could not try in Ice and Snow yet, but I am looking forward to check that.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy MXM4 given 53% (235-45-18)
Driving on mostly town for 20000 average miles
I got this tyres with my Tesla M3 LR DM with this tires. Previously I used summer & winter tyres, but not all season one.
So I was disappointed during first rain. Handling is too low for me, after for Pilot Sport 4. So I'll not going to use all season tyres. Unfortunately I can't compare them with other all season tyres. Maybe it's good if comparing with other all season tyres. But I'll change them when winter comes.

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 given 86% (235-45-18)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 easy going miles
I have had the original 19” Sport wheels with Hankook Ventus Evo 3 tyres when I bought the car second hand, but changed to Michelin ePrimacy on 18” wheels for the improved ride & efficiency. Come winter and it was time to change to all season tyres. I have used CrossClimate tyres on other vehicles previously, starting with the originals, then the + then the 2. In snow they were great, but we hardly get any snow where I am in the East Midlands, UK, and found that the tyres could not cope with the torque of a front wheel drive EV Kia Soul in the damp or wet and in general I was not happy with the CreossClimate 2 wet weather performance.

Having seen the 2024/2025 review of the all season tyres, I decided to try the SF3 tyres. Really impressed in the cold and wet weather we had over the winter. Great feel, sure footed, efficient and quiet and very hard to get wheel spin on my model 3 Dual Motor. After 10,000 miles they have gone from 6.0mm starting down to a little over 5.0mm. The only reason I probably would not buy again, would be to get a dedicated EV All Season tyre, and at the moment there is only one on the market, the Hankook Ion FlexClimate. As I have not yet experienced snow or ice yet, I have not been able to rate in these categories. As I have still got my ePrimacy tyres, I have had them put back on for the summer & autumn. The Pirelli’s will be back on for winter. I currently drive around 25,000 miles a year, so I tend to drive for efficiency rather than performance.

Very poor performance on wet surface. Dangerous even when you are driving at motorway speed and passing on this flyover bridge joint, these tyres will lose grip immediately and give you a shock.

Writing about the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 given 26% (235-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 27000 average miles
I bought these tires after having driven with Michelin CrossClimate on my TM3 LR AWD. I drove 85,000 km on the Michelin, and it was a great tire. These Hankook tires were ranked first alongside the Michelin CrossClimate 2, where Michelin performed better in snow than in rain (where Hankook was best). And since there is more rain than snow in Denmark, this seemed like the obvious choice.

It turned out I was terribly wrong. They are not very good tires. They are decent in dry conditions, but in wet and snowy conditions, they are terrible. It feels like there is no grip or feedback. We took them on a ski trip, and there were multiple moments when the car felt like it was slipping for no reason. In the rain, when accelerating hard, they struggle to maintain traction. This was NEVER a problem with Michelin.

I have now driven approximately 35,000 km on them, and they will need to be replaced within the next 5,000–10,000 km. Do not buy these Hankook tires unless you want to gamble with your safety!

Writing about the Davanti Alltoura 4 Seasons given 88% (235-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Put the Davanti AllToura on my Tesla model 3. The grip and handling are great and range is better than I got on my Michelin x ice snow. They are a bit noisier than the x ice but at the price I got them in very happy with the purchase.

Writing about the Hankook iON Evo given 61% (235-40-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
It's a good quiet and comfortable tyre for my EV, however the grip is quite limited compared to PS4 or PS5. A bit of an unfair comparison but I feel grip is the most important rather than comfort. Dry grip is just slightly above average, wet grip is average.

Was swerving to avoid an object on the road, the tyre screeched loudly and provided just barely enough grip during that situation. If it was ps4 or ps5 in the same situation, there probably will not be any screeching and would have plenty of grip left over.
