Greetings folks! I bought my 2014 Model S a few years ago using TMC from a private party seller and had a very positive experience. After sifting through the pages of "For Sale" Teslas I'm not seeing what I'm looking for there. I want to replace a Honda Civic that was unfortunately rear...

I'm not sure about the foam, check the Tire Rack website for details...they are quieter than the Michelins I had originally and about the same as the Bridgestone Turanzos I had before these Pirellis.

I can't see the hub caps being just like that on the truck in production, but then you never know. They are "aero." Take them off and I bet there's a nice wheel under there...but I haven't seen them off yet. No matter. The specs are why I'm buying it. Sold my F-350 dually a few years...

Excellent. Taking a Tesla road trip is what it takes to truly understand the benefit of stopping every 2.5 hours. Kids love it, dogs love it, we really enjoy our road trips in the 14MS85. We bring a frisbee and baseball gloves. Stretching the legs and family time has been the best result of...

Big difference in cost though. My stock wheels were damaged from pot holes and 178,000 miles of road abuse. They started to allow my tires to loose air occasionally when I was parked. I had already had one wheel welded because it was cracked by a pothole. Once I had them removed the dented...

That’s why I shared my Wh/mi on a fairly long distance real world trip. Weight makes a difference and there are lighter wheels out there, some from Unplugged Performance, with different looks.

Can’t have too many pictures of the Cybertruck. Seeing it in person is highly recommended.

Depending on the door handle generation there may be details not covered in this thread.

After shopping around I ended up simply looking into all the tires on the test chart, then ended up going with the Perellis in the newest version. Test results: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/chartDisplay.jsp?ttid=220

From the Pirelli description on Tire Rack: “The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is Pirelli's Grand Touring All-Season tire designed for the drivers of touring and luxury touring cars looking for tires offering predictable handling, everyday comfort and all-season traction, plus enhanced...

Freeway driving over grooves seems stable. I’ve driven 4,500 miles on these tires so far. Columbia, SC to New Orleans, LA and back, then SC down to the Space Coast (Titusville) in FL and back in the mix. Heavy rain and dry roads at 70-80 mph, very stable and a comfortable ride.

Find a place that compares these tires and gives them ratings based on specific criterion. Energy consumption, low rolling resistance, and tire wear rating, are numbers that can be found. Tire Rack is just one place that categorizes tires and lists ratings. “Eco” for low rolling resistance...

Enjoying these wheels. Just had to go to New Orleans from Columbia, SC and flights were not convenient. Took my daughter and we had a good time. Average 323 Wh/mi for a round trip of about 1400 miles driving 70-80 mph on I-20 across SC to LA and back.

Road trip to/from New Orleans from Columbia, SC complete. New Pirelli tires performed wonderfully. We saw heavy rain for a few hours and lots of sun West of Alabama. My 14S85 and AP1 worked well. TACC alone is worth a lot. Averaged actual 323 Wh/mi traveling “highway speeds” of 70-80 mph. No...
