    19" Gemini [Mostly Winter] Tire Replacement - Vredestein Quatrac Pro?

    Sounds about right. Outside of here, maybe reddit or ebay as well. Ebay will get the most eyeballs, but a little more to consider in order to come out the other end alright with shipping & selling fees in that marketplace.

    19" Gemini [Mostly Winter] Tire Replacement - Vredestein Quatrac Pro?

    Great feedback, thank you. Good point regarding the wheel weight as well, could be a factor. If I do go A/S and like them as is, not impossible I choose next year to unload the 21's as well. Just curious on that front, do you have a listing place in mind to sell? When Iooked around online in...

    19" Gemini [Mostly Winter] Tire Replacement - Vredestein Quatrac Pro?

    Greetings. So far I'm the opposite of a fan of the stock Continental Pro Contact RX tires, winter driving here in the upper Midwest. Started out feeling a bit too cushy/dead in cornering for my preference, and now in cold & light snow, care for them even less. They do not bite, sort of as...

    New 19 inch T Sportline wheels on Midnight Silver metallic

    Satin black powder coated Geminis on a blue Performance Y here for reference. In my profile pic are 19" black TST rims on our MSM Model 3 for comparison as well.

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    PUP with powder coated Geminis ready for the cold months ahead. Relieved to have this done and the Ubers stored away in the basement. So silly Tesla doesn't have these available yet for purchase on their site for those like me who prefer a 2nd seasonal wheel set.

    Tesmanian Model Y Floor Mats

    They do a great job marketing with affiliates.

    Awesome. Appreciate what a pro detailer can do to make questionable factory finish look great.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    FWIW to go through the hassle of piecing together your own nice set (and also tracking dowm TPMS from Tesla anyway), or ordering something from Tsportline, you're in at least $3K, probably more for most choices outside of TSS, so anywhere south of that for a set of Geminis and TPMS is nothing to...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    Wheels look really good. Just curious is that a gloss black finish? Also for center caps do those have a white or silver logo? White seems to be a bit easier to find online but IMO doesn't seem to look as nice. Currently debating between gunmetal or black powder coat for my Gemini winter...

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    If you've got one vehicle where you flip wheel sets, I would agree it probably doesn't make sense to DIY cost or convenience wise. With two vehicles (or I guess if you change more often for some reason) it has saved me time to go that route myself.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    If you purchased from Tsportline, they *should* be balanced ane ready to rumble. I have a set for my M3P and popped them on out of the box last year (as in profile pic).

    PUP Brakes - 19" Geminis?

    Order and pickup of TPMS through the Milwaukee service center was straight forward. Having an actual contact in parts made that possible and he was really helpful. I know unfortunately this is often not the case elsewhere.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    Agree with this. Having Tesla do these wheels swaps provides no benefit in outcome and cost, timing, and communication will all be [possibly much] worse. If you have a good local tire/auto shop as an option, if not able to DIY, is a much better choice. Would suggest erroring on having the...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    I was also used to BMW rubber all seasons. Comfortable under foot. The Tesmanian mats are just like WeatherTech liners. I had a set of those for about a year and never got used to my feet sliding around and for long drives were not comfortable. Hard plastic. I went with the 3D maxpider...
