So I assume all tesla vehicles have low rolling resistance tires. How well do these low resistance tires perform? Cornering? Acceleration? I just don't know much about low rolling resistance tires...

Thanks, but "Depending on the specific technique and materials used by the manufacturers, tire life may be as good as conventional tires, and traction may also be as good" is too vague to for me. Anyone with experience, particularly with Tesla vehicles, care to weigh in with their experience?
Latest M3 tires on 18" wheels are Michelin Primacy MXM-4 "Green". 235/45 R 18 TireRack has a video review of them compared to similar tires from other manufacturers. The test cars they used were BMWs. The Michelins did very well.

How do you know its the 235/45? All photos I've ever seen its too blurry to tell.
All I want from the M3 tires is a quiet, comfortable ride that last at least 40,000 miles.
To whoever is in charge of the M3 tire procurement - Do whatever else you want but don't sacrifice those three things to get there please.
Looks like the Primacy MXM-4's (tread wear: 500) might be the more conservative option for the Model 3 considering it's the 18" wheel. It's far from a street tire that would be considered good for performance. Considering that Tesla puts Continental Contisportcontact 5P (tread wear: 280) on the Model S 100D & P100D, there'll probably be a different tire for the 19" wheels. It probably won't be as aggressive as a summer time UHP tire like the Contisportcontact 5P. My guess is that it'll be some kind of HP all season tire.
What a perfect example of how difficult it must be to try and satisfy all potential owners!Yup. I couldn't care less about "performance".
Looks like they'll be continuing their relationship with Continental for their 19" wheel/tire option.Here's a closeup shot of the 19's from a few weeks ago:
