Not really.
Speed ratings are just max recommendations under loads at higher speeds . Unless you're gonna be going 150+ mph it won't make much difference.

W is rated to 168 MPH and Y to 186 MPH, so you are getting a higher rating which safer than going to other way which is defintely is not recommended. Neither is mixing tyres with different ratings, I would ring a couple of tyre place for advice. More info here: Tyre Speed Rating | Chart and Rating Letters | The AA

I assume that the Hankook K117 and Evo 3 are different tyres? I think you will notice running different spec tyres and in some situations could be dangerous. If it was me I would certainly be looking to replace as a matched pair and keep them on the same axle. Assuming the flat cannot be repaired, I would ask to keep the good one and if it has good life still left in it, either keep as a spare or sell it on - tyres often come up for sale on here.
@VanillaAir_UK , you are complete correct. I focussed on the speed rating, but if the tyres are different that is a problem.

Don't tyres mix on the same axle.
Michelin pilot sport EV's or tesla specific pilot sport acoustic - you could also go e-primacy's

I have a pair of e-primacy on the rear going on 4k. No complaints. I think they have improved the efficiency but that is anecdotal
The "acoustic" bit adds nothing, except cost IMHO. I cannot tell the difference when I ran two non-acoustic on the front with acoustics on the rear. Then, after rotation, there was still no discernible difference except in my bank account.

I went with the e-Primacy as the Tesla Michelin sports where not available, no complaints so far.
If they get around to doing the new Michelin pilot EV sport in 18inch I might go with them next on the basis of their range improvement promises

I have a tyre issue right now and i currently have the Michelin 235/35 ZR20 92Y Extra load
PILOT SPORT 4S fitted.
Looking at the Pirelli PZero instead purely from a cost and efficiency point of view - its rated as A over the Michelin rated B.
Anyone use this tyre and could recommend?

They are now standard on the M3P. Generally option is they aren't quite as good as the Michelin in terms of outright grip and colder weather performance but still good.

I did replace all four 14k miles ago with crossclimates. I did notice increase in noise but besides the first 2k miles interestingly enough no noticeable difference in consumption.
Don't dismiss the PS4 without the acoustic foam. Much less expensive and not any noisier. And often more available.
