TESLA MODEL 3 AND 3 PERFORMANCE WINTER WHEELS
TESLA MODEL 3 CAN EXTEND THE WINTER RANGE WITH WINTER TIRES THAT HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE AGAINST WATER PLANNING
Tesla 3 is a leader in range, but cold days combined with water in the roadway greatly reduce range. The new electric car tire FIRGUS EV ICE 3 works excellently on ice and snow, but still has full drainage against aquaplaning. Good continuous drainage reduces the water wave that builds up in front of traditional winter tires. Such a water wave also requires a lot of extra energy, so it is not abnormal with 10% lower energy consumption on FRIGUS EV ICE 3 compared to competitors on wet roads.
See illustration sketch below which shows the differences between the well-known tire brands and the new electric car tire FRIGUS EV ICE 3. The previously popular Tesla tire from Nereus is replaced by the FRIGUS EV ICE 3 which has a little softer rubber and a little better drainage, but most importantly the FRIGUS EV ICE 3 is reinforced both trunk and shoulders. FRIGUS EV ICE 3 is the only winter tire on the market that passes the moose test and which provides as good maneuverability on asphalt as the best summer tires. FRIGUS EV ICE 3 also requires at least balancing weights of all known tire brands in the market. Read more to click on the image below.
COVER TESTS ARE ONLY SMART ADVERTISING. MANY END UP WITH '' TEST WINNERS '' WHICH WATER PLANES LONG BEFORE THE SPEED LIMIT IS REACHED ON A WET OR SLAP E6
The tire test for NAF is not a real tire test but only smart (and stupid) marketing where you enter a lot of "emotions" and points according to free imagination, to bring out the kickback - "test winner" . The recommendations here on the website for model 3 are based on actual measurements that we do regularly, and which many of our customers also follow, and therefore we offer both a right of exchange and a 5-year guarantee on the rubber quality. In the winter, you drive a lot in water and slush, often at high speeds. Therefore, FRIGUS EV ICE 3 has been developed both to pass the "moose test" with a large margin, but the most important properties are maximum drainage for water and sludge.
TESLA MODEL 3 HAS WIDE TIRES THAT REQUIRE GOOD DRAINAGE AGAINST WATER PLANNING. GOOD DRAINAGE ALSO REDUCES ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON WET ROAD.
We drive a lot on wet roads with water and sludge, and good continuous drainage both increases the range and reduces the risk of aquaplaning. The wet grip on rough asphalt is actually better than well-known summer tires with wet grip A, measured on the Tesla 100D in 18 - 20 degrees Celsius. Simply explained, soft rubber will achieve a much larger contact surface on rough asphalt than a hard summer tire. An opposite reality in relation to what is claimed by many industry teams. What is important for an electric car in winter is the range when it is at its worst. Most people who have driven an electric car before experience that the range difference between dry and wet asphalt at the same speed and temperature is often 10-15%. With a lot of water and sludge in the road surface, the difference increases, and then it is important to have good drainage channels and a good pattern in the tire. Good binder in the rubber maintains a good life and a good pattern. Click on the image below to see the current price of the FRIGUS EV ICE 3
WINTER TIRE FRIGUS EV ICE 3 IS MADE FOR ELECTRIC CAR AND IS THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION OF TESLA MODEL 3
Long experience with the tire brands Nereus, Royal Black and Roadmarch on Tesla S, X and one year of experience on Model 3 has given us a good basis for building a new specialized electric car tire that provides a better driving experience and safety on Nordic winter roads. Covers are not built for ice rink driving but to perform as well as possible to relevant winter surfaces, such as wet and cold asphalt, occasionally with ice, slush and snow. The tire is more than good enough on ice and snow-covered mountain roads, but should be far better than competing tires from Continental, Pirelli, Michelin and Nokian at more than 95% of the distance covered in winter. The ability to counteract aquaplaning is optimized with 4 continuous drainage grooves, similar to those we see on summer tires. FRIGUS EV ICE 3 also brakes extremely well on wet asphalt, and if the asphalt is rough enough, it brakes better than most summer tires,in the summer . The rubber compound has a high proportion of natural rubber and is therefore more expensive to produce than its European competitors. The tire will still be sold more reasonably in the market with simpler logistics, little advertising and no smart tire test advertising. Bloggers and Youtubers can borrow FRIGUS EV ICE 3 tires to make their own comparison tests and we also lend measuring equipment.
WHEN YOU BUY RIMS AND TIRES FROM MEGA WHEELS, YOU ARE PRODUCT INSURED (IF INSURANCE) FOR UP TO NOK 5.0 MILLION
On several occasions, usually in connection with the delivery of new cars, we have received calls from customers who have been threatened with waiver of warranty on their car, if they buy wheels elsewhere than Tesla. This is contrary to Norwegian warranty rules, and there are clear parameters on which dimensions can be set on which cars. For you as a customer of Tesla Motors, this would mean a serious encumbrance on the purchase relationship that can be perceived as a hidden defect, and reduce the resale value of the car.
If you are presented with this type of intimidation propaganda from your seller, we greatly appreciate you telling us the seller's name so that we can take this further with Tesla directly. We also encourage all customers to request to receive this information in writing.
YOU CAN SAFELY BUY TIRES AND WHEELS FROM MEGA WHEELS WITHOUT LOSING ANY FORM OF WARRANTY ON THE CAR
Rims and tires from Tesla Motors are third party products in the same way as our products. We only deliver what is approved for the car, and we can guarantee you that recommended products here on the website do not affect the warranty relationship on the car, and you are insured against defects and consequential damages, including all kinds of threats and claims of reduced warranty, up to 5 .0 million NOK. WE have been supplying winter and summer wheels to Tesla S and X since 2013 (well over 40,000 product units), without a single inquiry from Tesla about product defects. There has been a lot of changing of wheel bearings on model S, both with the original wheel set and our wheel sets that also have original specifications. There has never been a request from Tesla that something is so "unoriginal" that they believe it has caused damage to the car. We have many Tesla S and X as company cars (we also have Model 3 on order), and we recommend Tesla over other car brands, because we have made thorough comparisons of cost / benefit + technology. When it comes to tires and rims for the Tesla models, we can say with certainty that we have much more experience with different solutions than Tesla Motors, because we test and compare continuously, on our own cars and with customers and partners (car companies, large users of Tesla etc. )
MOST RECOMMENDED WINTER TIRES BUILD ON EXPERIENCES FROM MEASUREMENTS AT TESLA S
We have made a number of measurements on the Tesla S, including friction properties against surfaces in the form of hard-packed snow and ice surfaces with a little wet snow on top and wet asphalt, which we drive the most on, and FRIGUS EV ICE 3 measures just as good friction on winter surfaces, and significantly better friction on wet asphalt, than the most well-known reference tires. These are simple measurements that are easy to verify, so the seriousness of such measurements is definitely interesting in relation to the tire tests from NAF where the tire results are adjusted with "feelings" (read kickback feelings), so that the underlying kickback agreements give the best possible return. You can read a good deal about the previously recommended winter tire from Nereus in the article NEREUS WINTER TIRE TEST hvor det også vises til at Nereus dekkene har en svært god levetid på gummien i forhold til de mest kjente dekkmerkene. FRIGUS EV ICE 3 er en stor oppgradering på de viktigste egenskapene, og for dyktige bilføreren som har god kjørefølelse vil dekket oppleves som en betydelig oppgradering av bilen.
Nedenfor kan du se noen videoer av enkle friksjonstester. Det er sannsynlig at Nereus fungerer like godt på Tesla Model 3 som på Model S
VI HAR VÆRT LITT NYGJERRIG PÅ HVORDAN VINTERDEKK KAN MÅLES MOT HVERANDRE DIREKTE. HER ER ET GODT EKSEMPEL
We focus a lot on aquaplaning, wet grip, noise and durability, but the Nereus rubber also adheres well to the winter surface and has many effective slats. Therefore, we say that where you do not get up the hill with studded tires, you should choose Nereus studless. When the industry talks about '' Premium '' tires, it is probably these characteristics that one should be able to document and not just '' premium 'price.
RUBBER QUALITY IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH LIFETIME AND SAFETY throughout the life of the tire
We have tried to gather a lot of relevant knowledge about tires in the article THIS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WINTER TIRES . There is a lot of good information here based on actual measurements, and in relation to what is written in the media by both NAF and other "experts", our measurements show that a lot is written that is directly incorrect information, probably with the intention of increasing sales of high priced medium good tires. Our measurements show that good winter rubber does not wear measurably more in the summer, and the tire's production date does not necessarily have anything to do with the rubber's properties. We now base our measurements a lot on the tire brands we recommend, so at the time of writing we can vouch for the positive measurement results for the relevant tire brands that we mention in the articles.

TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE DELIVERED WITH PERFORMANCE BRAKES
We have a good dialogue with several players in the tire and rim industry in North America in connection with delivering the industry solution that this website represents. When asked which rims fit the Tesla Model 3 with Performance brake calipers, it is delivered down to 18-inch rims and tires for these. When you choose the Tesla Model3 Performance here on the website, you will get all the rims that fit the car, including 18-inch. The rims have been tested and mounted on the car, and at the time of writing (updated 21 Dec.2020) we have delivered a very large number of 18-inch wheels to the Model 3 Performance with very good feedback. 18 and 19 inch winter wheels work well on the 3P model, and cost significantly less.
ADJUSTMENTS OF WHEELS TO TESLA MODEL 3 PERFOMANCE
The Tesla Model 3 Performance has a slightly different hub than the other model 3, and requires an extra recess in the hub on the rim. See picture below. Some of the rims we offer have this recess from the factory, but there are many rims that do not have this. We have an advanced CNC machine at the main warehouse in Fredrikstad that adapts rims, so we can make this recess on all rims that fit in the CNC machine. Feel free to call 3P for more information about rims if you have any questions.
