EV tyres

[Lappintyre]

Tesla is needing a set of tyres, came orginally on Hankooks.

Been looking around for options & local tyre place will only sell me Tesla branded..

Question being, is it ‘compulsory’ to run only a tyre designed and branded ‘T or Tesla’ or will any of the same spec, load rating/speed/acoustic etc be ok, legally/insurance wise etc?

I went from Pilot Sport Acoustic to Primacy+, which were recommended by Black Circles. Slightly cheaper, and if anything, quieter.

TBH you could probably run anything half decent, BMW 5 series weighs the same and there's some of them flying about on Linglings.

Its a car. Put tyres on it.

It doesnt need non offensive, non-binary, Vegan, Oatmilk, Lactose-free tyres, and neither do you.

Go sniff some petrol from the M3 and man up ffs

lol

Listen to Kev, he's put Goodsails on their EVs.

Are the primacy + acoustic too? Currently running PS4's, Audi branded but same spec, local tyre fitter will only quote me for Tesla rated/branded which has me questioning myself!

They're not listed as such, but I find them quieter.

Parked beside a Model S the other day and noticed Lassa on it. I doubt were anything special.

Look like semi slicks, Davanti have also started doing track day focused budget tyres, mightn't be too bad actually.

Is right @GrantR they aren’t bad priced either

I presumed it was that there were more holes than metal in the brake disc

Perfect for when you've just dropped £12m on a new car and haven't got the budget left for the model specific tyres!

Check out the logo on the centre cap.

No idea, what is it? McLaren F1? Something old presumably given they are 17” tyres

Yep, an F1 wearing Landsails.

You'd be gutted if you'd just done a Rowan Atkinson and the insurance refused to pay out because you were on non-standard tyres.

They own a F1. Already one step above anything most of us will be able to afford tbh

I think they are AK01 Track day Semi-Slick tyres.

He's doing track-days in a McLaren F1 and the internet are looking down their nose at him
