4 times load 94 = 1477lbs is 5908 lbs
150% of 4250 is 6375lbs. '
So you're about almost 500lbs short and that's empty weight on the model 3. With a full load, you are going to go way past that and a full load can add up close to 800 - 1000lbs (adults + clothes + whatever else is in the car). I wouldn't do it.
You can also look at it this way: assume one tire pops.
3 times load 94 = 1477lbs is 4431
That's only a difference of 180. Almost the weight of an adult (read driver). You're at max load already and you can risk popping the other tires too.
I wouldn't do it. Being close to max load also increases wear too.
To make sure this isn't a one time fluke I looked up a similar sedan from one of the most conservative and reliable manufacture the Lexus IS350 F sport gross weight is 3,195 * 1.5 = 5,872.5
OEM tires are Bridgestone Turanza ER33 front tire with the max load of 1,235 back tire has max load of 1,323, using the larger number 1323 x 4 = 5,292 way under your recommendation.
Another bullet point, another post mention his sonata 2020 comes with the tire, so I checked and confirm it does indeed
Weight is 4,354 * 1.5 = 6534 so 5,908 is still under
Another member mention it came on his 2021 Kia K5 AWD GT-Line with a gross weight of 4354 (heavier then the Tesla Model 3) by your math they need tire weight rating of 6,534.

The car weight pales in comparison to true road destroyer: 18 wheelers weight between 35k empty to 80k lbs full. According to this government report road damage grows exponentially with weight a 18000 lbs truck does 5000x the damage as a 2000lbs vehicle. To quote "tractor-trailer loaded to the 80,000-pound Federal limit, has the same impact on an interstate highway as 9,600 automobiles" I'm sure a few fully loaded 18 wheeler destroy more road than all the evs ever sold but "ev bad" have such a nice ring to it. Want tax put it on the shipping trucks I'm sure they can afford it.

You cannot load your car more than the gross weight sticker near the driver door, so taking the heaviest car in these discussion Tesla Model 3 at the max weight of 4,250 and a limit of 826 (same sticker) you are still way below the tire limits. You will be low riding and fender rubbing or popping your suspension way before you hit the tire limit

My F-150 gets around 15 mpg on average. I weigh less than a Dodge Charger and way less than a Tesla. So I pay more than my "fair share" of taxes.
Fuel taxes which primarily go to road maintenance are a good example of a consumption tax that actually works. Which is why it is grossly unfair that battery powered vehicles (and gas/hybrid powered super efficient vehicles) don't pay their fair share of taxes and should have to pay in other methods than fuel surcharges.
Yeah lets do go full libertarian that work so well for Texas and their energy grid. It was a hyperbole by the way the original poster say lets tax EVmore since they are heavier, I told him sure lets do it but lets apply to everyone. He agrees on the premise so I bring out the heaviest offender. Its call a thought experiment stop being a snowflake and bringing politics into it I was merely showing the absurdity of taxing a slightly heavier vehicle base on "fuel tax" and "road wear"
Stop tying your identity to some nostalgia feel good back in the days they were not great at all. Anyway I'm going to stop responding to these posts, way off topic and pointless; the old saying....wrestling with pigs...comes to mind.
Why not buy them from a tire store? Most will likely match this. I know Discount Tire will, or in my experience, I've always been able to get them to beat any deal. And I saw on the local Tire Discounters sign the other day that they match any deal, and they include a free wheel alignment.

They do sell P Zero PLUS but those are $177 each.
In this size and price range of $85-ish each, Discount Tire sells Nankang, Westlake or Milestar.

FYI the f150 starts at 4000 lbs and the fully loaded one are 5000lbs
A tesla model 3 starts at 3600 to 4200 so not really they are really comparable in weight, especially because the f150 will more often then not be hauling something compare to the 3. Comparing gross weight the disparity is even greater 6,010 to 7,150 vs 4,541 to 5,072 lbs
So on average the F150 does more road damage than the Tesla.

Sorry for the misunderstanding lets just talk about the merit of the deal and leave it at that?

EV pay their fees somewhat by being much more expensive at purchase (more use tax, later more registration tax) than comparable gas car sometimes 2x as much, the Kona starts at 20k, the Kona electric starts at 37k. So for electric car all the cost is front loaded and the gas car the cost is spread out.
If you read the link below, road damage is exponential base on weight but fuel tax is linear. To be fair their need to be a weight tax on top that grows exponentially with weight

It's not a simple tesla = awesome, all ICE = evil.
Disclaimer I am a tesla fan, but I do not think most American, or American families are ready for one car only EV ready.
