Tesla vs. BMW: Do Tires Matter? (14:23)

Category: Tire Tests

Featured: Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS, Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season, Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season, Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

Do the tires make the car, or does the car make the tires? We took our Tesla Model 3 and our BMW 3 Series and ran the same test on the same tires. These are very similar vehicles aside from powertrains, as they’re both AWD sedans, and used a select grouping of both EV and non-EV Ultra High Performance All-Season tires to see where the results are similar and where they vary.
