Eco Info

What your tyre choice really means for the environment.

Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of a vehicle's fuel consumption. Moving from a Class C to a Class A on the European label represents up to 0.3 l/100 km saved, or several hundred kg of CO₂ avoided over the lifespan of the set of tyres.

Durability is the second lever: a tyre that lasts 20% longer reduces raw materials consumed and waste generated by the same amount. Correct pressure (monthly check), a timely swapped set, and healthy alignment extend tyre life much more effectively than any rubber choice.

Wear particles and rolling noise complete the picture: tyres with the best noise rating (dB) and the most abrasion-resistant compounds limit non-exhaust emissions, which are becoming the main source of pollution from electric vehicles.

Optimal energy efficiency: optimize your fuel consumption and reduce the cost per kilometre of your vehicles.

  • Vehicle : TESLA MODEL 3
  • Dimension : 235/45 R 18 98Y

Your Situation

You drive a Tesla Model 3, from model year 2018 onward. The specified tyre size is 235/45 R18 98Y: 235 mm width, 45 profile, 18-inch rim, load index 98 and speed rating Y.

In Hampshire, conditions include 100 days below 7°C, 32 frost days, moderate ice risk and 6 days of snow. Rainfall is 125, with 11 days above 30°C. The relief indicator is ▲.

Summer, Winter or All-Season

Your preference is two separate summer and winter sets. This is also the strongest option in the comparison: summer/winter tyres receive ★★★ for rain and handling, versus ★ for all-season tyres. They also score better for limited snow (★★ vs ★) and mountain snow (★★★ vs ★).

There is no Mountain Law requirement and no compulsory winter-tyre rule indicated for the UK. However, 100 days below 7°C, frost and moderate ice support using 3PMSF winter tyres in colder periods.

A 3PMSF all-season set remains a simpler alternative, but it conflicts with your selected preference and has lower comparison stars.

Mileage and Running Costs

At 10,000–20,000 km per year, durability and efficiency matter. Two sets distribute wear between summer and winter tyres, although actual lifespan is not provided. EU fuel ratings and economy scores help compare running efficiency: an A fuel label and higher economy score are preferable within this selection.

Recommended Tyres

•GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 6 — 235/45 R18 98Y: summer tyre with EU A fuel / A wet grip, global score 88, economy 83 and ecology 74. It exactly matches the specified indices.

•MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 — 235/45 R18 98V: 3PMSF winter tyre, EU C fuel / B wet grip, global score 82, ecology 83 and economy 63. Its V speed rating differs from the specified Y, so professional compatibility confirmation is essential.

•CONTINENTAL ALLSEASONCONTACT 2 — 235/45 R18 98Y: 3PMSF all-season alternative, EU B/B, global score 74, ecology 69 and economy 67.

Points to Watch

Wet and cold braking performance remains critical. Check tyre pressure regularly using the vehicle requirements. Arrange tyre rotation only where appropriate and professionally approved. Confirm all load and speed indices before fitting, especially winter alternatives. This guidance is indicative and does not replace advice from a tyre professional.
