Drive.com.au tested three different tyres See how the tyres performed on dry braking, wet braking, rolling resistance and overall.*
Tyres play an important role in an EV’s safety, efficiency and driving experience. To see how different tyres perform, Drive joined Top Tyre Review for a controlled, back-to-back comparison of three tyres:
Giti Control P10
Michelin e.Primacy
Bridgestone Turanza T005
All three were fitted to the same Tesla Model 3 in 245/45 R18 and tested at the same 42 PSI pressure at the Garja Tunggal Proving Ground in Indonesia.
| Category | Giti Control P10 | Michelin e.Primacy | Bridgestone Turanza T005 |
| Wet braking (80–0 km/h) | 32.73 m (1st) | 34.2 m | 35.09 m |
| Rolling resistance | 5.5 N/kN (1st) | 7.0 N/kN | 6.2 N/kN |
| Dry braking (100–0 km/h) | 40.06 m (2nd) | 39.37 m | 40.23 m |
| Dry handling | 2nd | 1st | 3rd |
| Wet handling | 2nd | 3rd | 1st |
| Cabin noise | 2nd | 1st | 3rd |
| Overall (Drive score) | 2nd | 1st | 3rd |
*Claims are based on the published Drive.com.au comparison test of three tyres fitted to a Tesla Model 3. Results relate to the conditions and products tested. Giti Control P10 recorded the shortest wet-braking distance and lowest rolling resistance of the three tyres tested and finished second overall under Drive.com.au scoring. See the published test for full methodology, results and conditions.
