This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Nokian Hakkepelitta R3 19" snow tires fits Model 3. Please add to the discussion here.

I put E revision cameras in my ‘19 to resolve the glare from the repeater indicator making them completely useless at night. They work great.

They’re still doing well. It’s in the 10-20”F range here now, but there hasn’t been any real snow or ice yet. I’m anxious to see how they do in those conditions as well. I’m not expecting them to be nearly as good as the Hakkapellitta R3 winter tires that I also have, but I’m hoping that they’re...

UPDATE #3: 7/25/22 I continue to be impressed with these tires. We took a 1000 mile trip over summer vacation in June. No issues at all to report. Just smooth, quiet cruising and competent handling of wet and dry roads. I’m really starting to believe that these tires are a great purchase.

Mine just started squeaking like crazy. Ironically it started doing it immediately after they performed a proactive reseal of the ball joints with urethane. I’d never had any noises prior to them doing that. I have another service scheduled now, I guess we’ll see if it ends up getting delayed.

UPDATE #2: It turns out that my car did have some toe-out issues in the rear. Hopefully now that everything is aligned within spec it will prevent these tires from becoming cupped. The tires continue to do well. I should mention that they do have a little bit of a rim protection rib on them...

UPDATE #2 5/23/22 Longer trip today. 72 degrees, no precipitation. 76 mile trip, 90% highway at 70-75mph, fairly hilly terrain, A/C at 68 degrees. 258Wh/mi

Thank you for the toe-out info and the link. I’ll definitely take mine in for an alignment, probably should’ve done it long ago.

I do plan on updating my thread periodically. 👍🏻

Could you link that review? Search isn't turning it up for me for some reason.

$595 shipped for the 19" from Walmart.com, believe it or not. The 18" are like $20 more each for some weird reason.

I had considered the WR G4's, but it seemed like overkill since I have Hakkepelitta R3's for winter. I will say that Nokian's vehicle selector on their website doesn't always turn up all the options for a particular vehicle. I had to search by tire size. They do have them in 18" for Model 3.

I will try to update this periodically. Was there any other indication of your toe issue other than the cupping? Were they toed in or out? I may have to look into an alignment specifically for that reason to prevent it from happening to these tires. Tesla Service was actually who alerted me that...

I wish they would implement a 'time before auto-lock" setting. I've lost count of the number of times that I've gotten out of the car, walked around the rear to get to the right rear door to get my son out only to have it auto-lock right as I reach for the door handle.
