    What 18" Summer Tires Are You Performance Owners Using? PS4? PS4S?

    They're solid. Very quiet, But hard to compare to the original All season tires that came in the car because I only drove them a couple miles. I do wish they had a bit more grip but I attribute a lot of that to having a pig of a car on skinny tires. I feel like the weight of the car makes me...

    Model 3 Performance 18” rims efficiency?

    Tesla's own website where you can build your own model 3, now gives you the option to build a performance 3 stealth with 18 inch wheels or full performance version with 20 inch wheels. The 20 inch full performance version only gets 299 miles per Tesla versus 322 for the stealth with 18 inch...

    In Phoenix: 99.9% new OEM Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/45/18 tires full set Model 3 Tesla

    I am selling a full set of 4, basically new OEM tires, Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/45/18 tires, with only 30 miles of use. The only use is going home from the dealership and to my local tire shop the very next day for removal. I just wanted a more summery tire living in Phoenix. These are the...

    Best Bang for Buck Model 3

    The Stealth comes with track mode and the extra shiny light weight super high performance pedals aren't worth any meaningful premium. So basically $5000 for a spoiler, 20" wheels/tires, a 1" drop, and better brakes you'll only notice a difference with on the track. Add at least another $400...

    Clunking noise right before driving (Not the battery breathers)

    That's weird, I get a crackling sound when I first turn the air on in the car when I first get started but definitely not a clunk like you do

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Can someone explain how torque in the Performance is still slightly higher throughout higher speeds on this chart compared to the LR AWD with the acceleration upgrade (yellow) , but horsepower looks like it ends up being even between the two cars at higher speeds? In the ICE world if one car...

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    Picked mine up yesterday...2020. Was disappointed in the paint quality as there were a few spots on the car that had tiny paint bubble patches with one patch having about 30 tiny bubbles in a concentrated area. The chrome strip around the window on one side was protruding out about 1/8 of an...

    What 18" Summer Tires Are You Performance Owners Using? PS4? PS4S?

    Well I ended up ordering the 235 wide pilot sport 4 with the acoustic foam. If I don't like them I can burn through them quickly and get a pair of 4s's instead.

    What 18" Summer Tires Are You Performance Owners Using? PS4? PS4S?

    What's interesting is Discount Tire's website says an 8 1/2 inch rim is okay with the 265 tire whereas Tire Rack suggests no less than 9". I'm on the fence between the 265/40/18 PS4S no foam and the PS4 (no S) 235/45/18 with foam. Trying to decide if it's worth paying an extra $150 for the...

    LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

    What tires came on your 19" wheels? I have a stealth with 18 inch wheels in production that should be here in a few weeks, and I'm wondering if it's too late for me to get 19 inch wheels on those with summer tires before delivery.

    I didn't even know 19 inch wheels were an option on the stealth?

    What 18" Summer Tires Are You Performance Owners Using? PS4? PS4S?

    265's don't "require" a 9"+ wide rim, that's just what is recommended by the manufacturer. People sometimes push the limits just a shade with more tire than manufacturer's recommendations. It's not optimal, but I've done it before on previous cars....

    What 18" Summer Tires Are You Performance Owners Using? PS4? PS4S?

    If I'm going to go with a bigger tire, wouldn't it make more sense to go with the 265/40/18 in the PS4S, which is even a better match diameter wise to the OEM 18 inch tire with the benefit of even more rubber? I have read some mixed results as to whether or not going with that size in all...
