For the first test in this two-part series, we compare the OE Michelin Primacy MXM4 T1 on the Tesla Model 3 to the ever-popular aftermarket option, the Michelin CrossClimate2.
Original equipment (OE) tires on electric vehicles (EVs) are highly focused on efficiency. While that’s all well and good, there tends to be the lingering question, “how much” more efficient are they than popular replacement tires? The answer varies with each tire. We wanted to start developing a picture that would help us provide some guidance for drivers.
