Oh I wasn’t expecting a tire replacement, I thought they could do a patch no matter the tire size. Lesson learned.

Just an FYI, today I got a nail in a tire and decided to call Tesla road side assistance to see if they would come do the tire repair. To my surprise, they wouldn’t because my tire size isn’t the “right” size. Is this common for other automakers?

Whose got time to measure all of that haha. Im just taking what the car is displaying and equating that to 20%. Many factors not mentioned that can contribute to a range/efficiency hit, I suspect my spirited driving the first couple weeks as the main culprit . But as others have stated that...

I went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+. Definitely took a range hit, roughly 20%. My previous was ~180wh/km on stock tires. Now its ~220wh/km. Not sure how to convert that to miles but like I mentioned about a ~20% hit to range and efficiency. It provides a bit more curb protection but...

I probably average 50km daily. Yep the cost needs to be considered. Guess this isn’t needed or best practice for long term battery health.

Have an extended week of super cold temps. Have the car plugged in while not in use so would keeping camp mode @20C (for say a week) be good/bad? Im assuming camp mode also keeps the battery warm. Thoughts?

Any pics. Im thinking this for a winter set too. No rubbing i take it?

285/?r? And what are the rears? Stock MYP suspension?

It's the overall diameter that im guessing could rub. And ive yet to read/see anyone running that sizing.

What you want to do is look at the specs for a given tire then find the rim width range, this will tell you the recommendation. In your case, the recommended rim width range is 7-9. Stock gemini wheel is a 9.5. So technically no but ive seen many users on this forum use this tire sizing.

Oh man, you’d be pushing the limit with that. My guess would be some rub with stock gemini wheels. Im running 275/45r19 on stock gemini and theres no rub but my diameter is only 28.7inches whereas yours would be 29.4inches.

Took my car to a local shop and got them installed. They initially pushed back and said these arent the same size, had to convinced them to mount them to see if theres any rubbing at full lock. Which they did and there was no rubbing. First drive I couldnt really tell any difference but I did...

On a LR or P? Also what offset?

Tsportsline offers this tire size and says it would fit all model y’s. I swear ive read users on this forum with this sizing too.

Noob question… Recently took my MYLR in for some service at the local tesla service centre and wanted a tire swap too. Provided them with 275/45r19 DWS06 to replace the stock 255/45r19 gemini. And they wouldn’t do the tire swap…told me every excuse from potential rubbing to long term wear on...
