About this generation
This generation of the Model 3 runs on 19-inch or larger wheels in some trims, which means short-sidewall tyres that handle precisely but are less forgiving on rough UK roads.
As an EV, the Tesla Model 3 carries more weight than a comparable petrol car and delivers torque instantly — both factors that make EV-specific tyres a sensible choice. Original equipment was typically EV-rated.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What should Tesla Model 3 drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Did UK-market Tesla Model 3 cars use the same tyres as US versions?
UK-spec Tesla Model 3 cars often had different wheel and tyre packages from US-market versions. Use the size on your sidewall — don't rely on US owner forums for fitment.
What wet grip should I look for on the Tesla Model 3?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Tesla Model 3?
Some trims of the Model 3 can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Tesla usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2018-2023 Tesla Model 3?
Most 2018-2023 Tesla Model 3 cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
