Introduced in 2008, Tesla’s Roadster was based on the Lotus Elise and had the distinction of being the first street-legal production car with Li-Ion batteries as well as being the first production car to be launched into orbit, aboard a Falcon Heavy rocket. Your 2011 Tesla Roadster would have been equipped at the factory with Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07 tires as OEM.
When it’s time to shop 2011 Tesla Roadster tires, remember that this make/model is designed for a staggered fitment, with different tire sizes in front and rear. Best choices for a 2011 Tesla Roadster would include premium all-season tires like the Bridgestone Turanza EL42 RFT, Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season and Dunlop SP Sport 5000. For more spirited driving, we’d suggest summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. Just be mindful that the softer, stickier tread formulation that delivers great cornering for summer/UHP tires will stiffen and lose grip on colder days. Summer/UHP tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
