If you put larger diameter tires on your car, the camber will be off. That’s just math… tires that are wider or taller than original equipment tires stretch the suspension slightly and cause changes in camber and caster angles

it was about $180. I also had them inspect my suspension. After a set and a half of these larger tires I was curious. Camber Adjusted. Suspension components are in good shape

I drive like a madman. I got the performance for the same reason. not sure where in Cali you live, but I drive Santa Cruz to San Jose every day on the 17, fast. it's brutal on tires. still got 32k miles on the first set, and 35k miles on the second, the AS4s will last you!

yes. I was told specifically by a tesla engineer to do so. just a single alignment. in includes a camber adjustment Its tires. people change tires sizes all the time. Tesla will do the alignment.

My efficiency is the same. after 2 sets. Handling is great. still. 99% of people are thrilled with the upgrade. if you dont like them, that's fine. but no need to worry people with problems that don't exist. Youre looking for issues.

Yea, the first 1000 or so miles are rough on efficiency with any new tires. Glad youre enjoying them!

So you did the setup wrong, and discount tire was wrong. There’s no real loss in efficiency, and no reduced handling.

I want to clarify that I haven’t seen anyone have traction control warnings the only reason that would happen is a large mismatch between front and rear. Which isn’t the case with the setup I suggested.

That’s really odd. What was your tire pressure? And what did you put on the front? If you just upped the rears and left the OEM size on front, that would be the culprit.

OP here, Not sure who you're asking as I didnt switch to 20's. If I did, I would go with a square setup.

cost doesnt really matter... the price of the tires is basically the same with 35/40

You'll get around 35k miles. The 70k is not honored by Michelin or any tire place when there is a staggered stance. they will honor 50% (35K). I already looked into this.

Youre basically the only person who has thought that. You do you.

That makes sense. Hard for me to imagine 6k/yr. I do 40k-45k/yr!

speedo difference for the 40's is not that extreme. If you set your tires at 39, realistically, 70mph is 72-73mph. which doesnt matter at all. all of those ".86"" measurements are not exact for every person. tire pressure, occupant/cargo weight, and other things affect the actual running...
