Hi there

Is these tires suitable for Tesla 3 long range size 235/45/R18 XL.

Thanks

If you can find the correct load rating the tire will be suitable, but this is a budget tire so you might find the wet grip very low or higher energy use than you're used to.

It's 2021/22 on the west coast and these tires are on my Tesla Model 3 (rear wheel drive) and performing well in wet and dry. There has been no evidence of hydro-planing. Have had three dynamic balancing jobs done to the wheels (by two different professional jobbers within a 72 hour time span and they still hint at being slightly out-of-balance at speeds 102 - 105 kph. Not convinced that the present-day tread pattern will be effective in snow but that remains to be seen and felt.

Good tires for a winter option on a budget. Not high performance by any stretch of the imagination.
I wouldn't trust these for track use, but very good in the ice and snow!
Without snow, they're not really worth it however.
