M3 2021 Tires from factory

[simeriaionut]

Hello,

I just ordered my Model 3 Long Range AWD with the 18 inch Aero wheels. What tires should I expect to be on the car from the factory?

I've seen both Hankook and Michelin, but Tesla doesn't really specify it anywhere

It’ll be a random OEM one. That’s how it is on all cars, except ones that specifically say it’ll come with specific tires.

Got my M3 LR 3 weeks ago and it came with Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/45r 18. They are W rated for 160+ mph which means they get a 45K mile warranty from Michelin instead of 55K for the slower rated tires.

From what I’ve seen online (like most tires), people aren’t getting the rated life. They start having tread issues around 25K - 30K miles but the warranty should pro rate that.

I test drove an LR in Austin on Friday, which was brand new and just had a few hundred miles on it, and it came with the 18" MXM4's. Didn't like them personally, when accelerating out of corners they were scrubbing quite a bit. But I'd say you have a good chance of getting those.

Thanks for the tips I was wondering the same thing. Ill update here with what I get

I'm coming up on 60K on my 21 M3 LR, with the original Michelin Primacy MXM4s. So far I'm happy with them. As long as you keep them rotated at the proper interval, no more thant 6250 miles, have alignment checked at least annually, and don't drive it like you stole it, you should get similar results. Another thing I'd suggest is keeping it in "chill mode" unless you really need the extra power. The mor egradual power delivery, and a few other things supposedly, in that mode can help preserve the tires.

Stock 2018 19” Continental Conti-silent 235/40/19. 67,000 km (41,600 miles) rotated every 20,000 km. Driven moderately aggressively still tread above the wear bars.

M3RWD SR 10/2023 build purchased 11/23 in New Jersey, USA came with hankook S1 AS sound absorber tires. I bought two used spares (with plugs) and didn’t realize one was not a sound absorber. The sound absorber one I got has foam glued to the inside. The second that was plugged was ruipped out.
