Tesla Model 3 Performance Upgraded with Continental DSW06+ Tires

The 2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance, fondly named Rosso Diablo, has been a remarkable companion for its owner, mobike008. With 25,000 miles covered in 25 months, this electric sedan has proven its mettle on the roads. Recently, an unexpected tire issue led to a swift decision to replace the OEM tires with Continental Extreme Contact DSW06+ in an upsize of 245/35/R20.

The tire replacement saga unfolded during a freeway drive when the owner received a low air pressure alert for the rear right tire, plummeting to 12 PSI. Quick thinking led to a safe exit and a visit to Discount Tire for the much-needed replacement. The Continental tires with a 50,000-mile warranty promised enhanced performance and a silent ride.

The decision to opt for Continentals over Michelin PS4 All Seasons was based on user reviews and recommendations for high-performance vehicles. The tire certificates purchased ensure free flat repairs and replacements for the tire’s lifespan. The upsize to 245 width from the stock 235 promises better ride quality and cornering grip, a common practice among Tesla enthusiasts.

The initial 75-mile drive post-tire replacement revealed a quieter cabin and improved steering response, especially in the heavier steering modes. The break-in period in “Chill Mode” aims to acquaint the tires with the car before unleashing their full potential. The Continental DSW06+ tires are renowned for their performance in dry, wet, and snowy conditions, offering a promising future for Rosso Diablo’s road adventures.

Despite the unexpected tire mishap, the owner’s meticulous approach in tire selection and maintenance underscores the care and attention devoted to the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Cheers to many more miles of silent, high-performance driving experiences ahead!
