How to choose the right tires for your Tesla Model S and Model X
THE UPGRADED TESLA TIRE - FRIGUS EV ICE 3 - IS POWERFULLY REINFORCED TO BEAR WEIGHT AND TORQUE, BUT ALSO HAS SOFT NORDIC RUBBER THAT GIVES GOOD GRIP ON ICE
Many skilled Tesla drivers experience that the car's good driving characteristics disappear when you put on the winter wheels. The Tesla models are relatively heavy cars with enormously powerful torque, and the performance models can in practice tear the tire partially to pieces. Cord and rubber can be damaged over time, and the tire becomes wobbly and unstable. Tires with the softest rubber also have the greatest tendency to wobble more on the roads than tires with harder rubber, but now it turns out (after a lot of information gathering) that the actual stiffness of the tire construction and shoulders is also more important. We discovered these issues after selling Nereus / Firemax as the most recommended tire for 2 years, rather than the more well-known tire brands. It is common knowledge that the car wobbles on the roads with the well-known tire brands with soft rubber, but it is not only the soft rubber that causes the instability on bare ground (bare asphalt), but also stiffness in the construction and shoulders. Nereus / Firemax is actually somewhat stiffer in the construction, but not in the shoulders, and the accuracy can be uneven on some tires as well. The tire stem on the FRIGUS EV ICE 3 is significantly more stiffened than all other tire brands, to meet the demand from the powerful Tesla.
"I HAVE A DREAM"
Conclusion is that the best winter tire for the Tesla models and similar electric cars (Taycan, Polestar 2) are tires with both reinforced stem and shoulders, which will maintain the driving characteristics / stability you have with the best summer tires. When it comes to reduced risk of aquaplaning, the winter tire should have the same tire tread profile as a summer tire, with 4 longitudinal drainage channels. For the tire to work well as a winter tire on hard-packed snow and ice, the tire must have soft rubber and many slats, but also rubber that does not harden over time. If you want to reduce the environmental damage that car tires cause, the tire should emit much less rubber dust for every kilometer driven, compared to the well-known tire brands that dominate the roads today. The rubber dust that ends up in nature should be degradable natural rubber instead of plastic rubber (fully synthetic rubber) which kills life in the sea. Nevertheless, the tire should still have soft rubber that grips well enough on ice and hard-packed snow. No extra sales expences, marketings or logistics makes the price affordable.
THE RECOMMENDE FRIGUS EV ICE 3 FULFILLS MOST WISHES FROM SKILLED DRIVERS
In collaboration with the factory, partners and test drivers, we have concluded a mix of parameters that today work very well. The tire works well on snow in the mountains, on roads with ice, and at least where you want driving pleasure in the winter as well, on wet or dry asphalt in high speed through curves. Skilled driving-happy Tesla owners get a tire here that fulfills many wishes. The tire comes with a satisfaction warranty and return rights. The 5-year warranty for rubber compound stays just as soft confirms the information in this article.
