Customer Reviews
These tires really tightened up the ride & handling on my Tesla Model 3. Noticeable improvement performance wise over the past tires on the car. Tracks better, handles firmer, ride is very acceptable. They are not the quietest tires, but given the performance and the expected longevity, I am very happy with them.
Love them. Been buying them for years. Will continue until a better tire comes along.
