Hi all, I'm looking to get a Tesla Model Y Standard Range with 19-inch wheels next month. I'm super excited, but nervous about the tyres and have already decided that I would like to get a set of all seasons instead of the ones that will come with the car. I'm extremely new to the world of tyres and my research (from here amongst other places) has convinced me that the Michelin Cross Climate 2s are the ones to go for.
The only thing I am unsure about is that my understanding is that I should look to get 255/45/R19 XL tyers and I can't seem to find Cross Climate 2s in that exact spec. The closest ones I could find are 255/45 R18 XL, 255/55 R18 XL and 255/55 R19 XL. From what I've seen, other users are comfortable with having tyre sizes that are slightly different to the factory spec of their cars and from what I understand, all this leads to is a slight change in driving experience or loss of range, which I'm comfortable with in theory.
My question is, would either of the three specs that I mentioned above still work with the Tesla? If they would work but would just change the driving experience, can anyone share their insight into how those experiences may differ?
I appreciate any advice you may have to offer.
Thanks!
