Tire Rack Compares OEM Electric Vehicle Tires With Aftermarket Alternatives via insideevs.com
Tire Rack recently compared the standard Continental and Michelin tires that a Tesla Model 3 Long Rance comes with from the factory to aftermarket alternatives from the same manufacturers. The test was performed in order to be able to gauge the differences and provide recommendations to Model 3 for when the time comes to swap out the factory rubber.
The tires tested were the standard-fit Continental ProContact RX T1, which were measured against the Continental PureContact LS fitted to 19-inch rims. They also compared the manufacturer-equipped Michelin Primacy MXM4 T1 to Michelin CrossClimate2 on 18-inch wheels.In the case of some high-performance cars that have tires designed specially for them, the OEM tire is usually superior to anything comparable off-the-shelf.
The 50-0 mph braking distance improvements were substantial, with the replacement tires shortening the wet braking distance by 15 to 23 feet, or one to two car lengths. That can be the difference between a close call and a crash. The tires were tested on a 6-mile loop that included driving on country roads, an expressway and a state highway. Testing was also carried out at Tire Rack’s own facility, a test track where it can test tires in both dry and wet conditions, as well as drive around 90-degree corners and a slalom course and perform emergency maneuvers.
