Does the Tesla Model 3 have special tires?


Tires for Teslas and other electric vehicles must also accommodate the substantial heft of battery packs that can add hundreds of pounds more than similar-sized internal-combustion engine vehicles. That's why — for its Model S, X, Y, and most Model 3 versions — Tesla requires tires with XL load ratings.
