    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Oh I wasn’t expecting a tire replacement, I thought they could do a patch no matter the tire size. Lesson learned.

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Just an FYI, today I got a nail in a tire and decided to call Tesla road side assistance to see if they would come do the tire repair. To my surprise, they wouldn’t because my tire size isn’t the “right” size. Is this common for other automakers?

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Whose got time to measure all of that haha. Im just taking what the car is displaying and equating that to 20%. Many factors not mentioned that can contribute to a range/efficiency hit, I suspect my spirited driving the first couple weeks as the main culprit . But as others have stated that...

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    I went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+. Definitely took a range hit, roughly 20%. My previous was ~180wh/km on stock tires. Now its ~220wh/km. Not sure how to convert that to miles but like I mentioned about a ~20% hit to range and efficiency. It provides a bit more curb protection but...

    -30C / -23F

    I probably average 50km daily. Yep the cost needs to be considered. Guess this isn’t needed or best practice for long term battery health.

    -30C / -23F

    Have an extended week of super cold temps. Have the car plugged in while not in use so would keeping camp mode @20C (for say a week) be good/bad? Im assuming camp mode also keeps the battery warm. Thoughts?

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    It's the overall diameter that im guessing could rub. And ive yet to read/see anyone running that sizing.

    244/50/19 Blizzak Winter Tires

    What you want to do is look at the specs for a given tire then find the rim width range, this will tell you the recommendation. In your case, the recommended rim width range is 7-9. Stock gemini wheel is a 9.5. So technically no but ive seen many users on this forum use this tire sizing.

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Oh man, you’d be pushing the limit with that. My guess would be some rub with stock gemini wheels. Im running 275/45r19 on stock gemini and theres no rub but my diameter is only 28.7inches whereas yours would be 29.4inches.

    Best Aggressive Wheel Offsets?

    Took my car to a local shop and got them installed. They initially pushed back and said these arent the same size, had to convinced them to mount them to see if theres any rubbing at full lock. Which they did and there was no rubbing. First drive I couldnt really tell any difference but I did...

    Best Aggressive Wheel Offsets?

    Tsportsline offers this tire size and says it would fit all model y’s. I swear ive read users on this forum with this sizing too.

    Best Aggressive Wheel Offsets?

    Noob question… Recently took my MYLR in for some service at the local tesla service centre and wanted a tire swap too. Provided them with 275/45r19 DWS06 to replace the stock 255/45r19 gemini. And they wouldn’t do the tire swap…told me every excuse from potential rubbing to long term wear on...

    Acceleration boost upgrade

    I know what you mean, that got me to think perhaps it needs some downforce aero help…spoiler, diffuser etc. Or better tires?? Anyone with any mods see any improvements?

    Tire question

    TSportsline offers a 275/45R19 Offset +35 that fits all model Y variants. I believe these will fit the stock gemini rims too.

    Stupid questions…

    I watched this one and he says you’d need a high horse power car with a lot of torque such as a tesla to overcome the negative affects of such a stance. Heavier wheels, more friction etc. another negative is no rotating tires so high cost to outfit, but who cares, I need the extra grip Haha. Be...

    Stupid questions…

    My assumption is that a MYP’s factory staggered setup helps it accelerate and corner better. Course that come with a hit to efficient and range. So I wonder if i staggering the LR would do the same to it. Two reason here, the rear wheel bias and when you punch it and all the weight goes to the...

    Stupid questions…

    270/40r19 would create different diameter and circumference. From what I’ve researched, you need to keep these within 1%. Couldn’t find 280/40 tires, but again diameter/circumference would be off. It would look strange haha im just wondering if theres a benefit.

    Stupid questions…

    Have a 2021 Y LR with AB. Everything else is stock. Looking at upgrading tires and have narrowed it down to either DWS06+ Or Pilot Sport SA4. Just wondering if staggered tires on the stock 19x9.5 rims makes sense or just plain silly. I would keep stock size up front 255/45r19 and 285/40r19 rear...

    MODEL Y UK LR SPEED BOOST

    Should be in the app under upgrades. You’ll have 48hrs to test it out and return for a full refund. If you purchase it a second time there is no refund option. I bought it and no regrets.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    I just google it, i think i get it now. The sidewall just bulges out more.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    Ok now im a bit confused…so it stretches the sidewall and increases the diameter?

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    Im assuming it stretches it’s width, for more contact with the road. And if my math is right total sectional width goes from 9.6” to 10.4”???

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    Question…235/55r19 specs states rim width range to be 6.5” to 8.5”. Stock gemini are 9.5” wide, a full inch wider than the recommended range. What does that do to the tire?
  31. B

    Finally the ride I was hoping for!

    What kind of consumption numbers are you getting now?

    Anyone regret buying the Acceleration Boost for their Model Y?

    No regrets paying for the extra giddy up. But now kinda having regrets not going with the performance. ;)
