255/45-19 tires will not fit a Model 3 in the front. I have 255/45-18 and they barely fit so 255/40-19’s will fit. You can go wider but not taller and wider is going to gain you nothing but less range squeezed on an 8.5 inch wheel.

What is the best M3D front brake upgrade under stock 18” wheels? The 320mm upgraded rotors don’t seem like much oh an upgrade. I would prefer using the Performance 355mm rotors because they are larger than stock and less expensive than true 2 piece rotors. Sanding/grinding M3P calipers the only...

Can you run the Model 3 performance 335mm rotors with the Model S front calipers?

I get phantom braking when I approach an overpass that casts a shadow on the highway...dangerous and surprised that no one has com close to rear ending me! I also get collision warnings on the same curved roads with parked cars on the sides. How do I report these to Tesla?

I have 245/45-18 tires on my Model 3. It does provide rim protection! Range is hard to gauge, seems about the same but mileage and speedometer are different, actually more accurate than stock 235’s but speedo still reads slightly high. 255 tires with same aspect ratio as stock should make...

Air spring reliability is not a matter of miles but years. The rubber cracks like tires over time. My 11 year old Mercedes w/100k mi is on its 3rd set at $4000 a set. Glad my Model 3 that is replacing MB has lifetime springs.

I am in Colorado as well. My tpms shows 40psi and my $100 tire gauge shows 44psi. Optimum ride and handling is in the 32-35psi range for these cars...wish Tesla would set the warning threshold lower and let owners choose whether performance/ride or hypermiling are more important to us. I have...

Around Christmas I did it in my M3 dual motor with aero wheels. It was around 20 degrees and averaging about 5mph over the speed limit with a head wind I made it to the Amarillo supercharger with 0 miles estimated range showing. On the return trip through heavy snow and at 25 to 35mph below the...
