TESLA MODEL 3 AND 3P WITH ZAX WHEELS IMPROVES RANGE, ACCELERATION AND SMOOTH DRIVER COMPARED TO OE

Wheel weight reduction is the most important for electrical cars. If you google wheel weight versus horsepower, you get many hits (510 000 000) . In motorsport, it is common knowledge that 1 kg lighter rim gives 7-10 hp reduced energy consumption. 20 inches closer to 10 hp. 18 inches slightly less consumption.

TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE IMPROVES EXTRA 50 KM RANGE WITH LIGHTWEIGHT 18-INCH WHEELS FROM ZAX WHEELS

The range of the Model 3 Performance is 50 km less than the Long Range model, solely due to heavy 20 inch wheels. If you replace these with the light recommended ZAX wheels and recommended tires, you will reduce energy consumption and achieve the same range as the Long Range with 18 inch wheels. We also have ZAX wheels that are lighter than the original Long Range wheels, so it is possible to increase the range even further. You get a much fresher acceleration and a more sporty car, and improved comfort on uneven surfaces.

All ZAX Wheels are approved for the EU-market and each wheel application comes with homologation certifcation passing JLW / VIA standards

We have frequently questions from customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland about TÜV or ECE certificates for ZAX Wheels, but the rules in the EU is minimum homologation certification passing JLW / VIA standars, same as the global rules. These standards makes us capable to upgrade the ZAX Wheels for EVs with less weight, to improve range and acceleration for electrical cars. 

The OE aerodynamic design on a wheel increase weight on the face (front) compared to an open design like the lightweight design EV531, EV592 and the Forced Magnesium MAG52 design. The weight of most aftermarket wheels are even heavier than OE wheels, so this camparasing article only cover OE wheels. Please also note the OE Tesla 3 wheel is 18x8.5, which a very wide dimensjon for tire size 235/45R18. According to the STRO-norm 18x8 is recommended size. Please read below recommendations for 18 inches wheels.

TESLA MODEL 3 AND 3 PERFORMANCE 19 INCH WINTER WHEEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Most experienced drivers know that the winter road accumulates dirt on the inside of the rims. 18 inch wintet wheels is most recommended, but 19 inch winter wheels still works great on Tesla model 3. For winter wheels the most challenging is accumulation of mud and dirt inside the rim edge. We have a solution with ZAX EV531.

TESLA MODEL 3 AND 3P RECOMMENDATION OF 20 INCH WHEELS

FOR WINTER TIRE OPTIONS WE ONLY HAVE ONE STRONG RECOMMENDATION IN 19 AND 20 INCH

For the winter conditions we have tested most brands and all kind of tread pattern. For the last 2 years we recommended Nereus NS805 as the first choice, although the tire should be greatly improved to meet high quality requirements from extreme cars like tesla. This resulted in us developing the FRIGUS EV ICE 3.
