I just bought 19" black wheels and Blizzack tires from tirerack.com. The rumor is 19" is a better ride and works better in snow. Total out of pocket with taxes and shipping was $2107. I have always had Blizzacks on our other cars and they always have performed well for me. They also test well with Consumer Reports. It seems like my research shows the Pirelli's are better for dry/wet pavement at cold temps, but Blizzacks and others do better with snow and ice. Easy to work with and no one including Costco could touch the price. Should be here in a few days. Now I just need to pick up my Model X friday! Looks like I may be rolling home thru the snow on the all weather tires - so I'll see how squirrley the MX is without snow tires. Tirerack should do a head to head Pirelli vs Blizzacks on the Teslas and then hit the forums with the results - could be some money to be made.
It should be the same as the fronts. You can tell by the tread. If it has arrow shaped blocks down the center they are directional.I just installed Scorpion winters on my 20" Helix rims. Is the rear tire (275/45/20) directional? On the front tires the 265 it says "rotation" direction on it with an arrow. I can't find it on the rears. I hope they mounted it correctly.
Thanks

I ordered mine Nov 17th and they arrived at the Springfield, NJ SC about 2 weeks ago but the first opening that they had to have them put on is Dec 20th!!If you order snow tires from the Tesla's web site - any guess at how long it takes for them to be delivered to your SC?
I have the same question. On the S, you can also select the new tire size. Which you can't on an X. Why is this so? Why would the TPMS need the tire size? I suppose that in the SC they set it for you. But what if you don't when switching wheel size?@evanevery -- when you installed your new wheels with the new TPMS sensors for the first time, did the car pick up the sensors automatically without the need for you to do anything other than driving ~ 5 miles? Model S owners have stated here that they have an option in the Settings menu to "Reset TPMS." However, my X does not have this option, and I am assuming yours would not either.
My Tesla service center is telling me that they need to program my new set of TPMS sensors, and this will cost $150 (only for programming; sensors are $200). Are they lying to me just to make money?

Those of us that have 2 sets of wheels here in the US have found that the TPMS simply sees the new sensors after 10 min or so of driving and resets itself. No need to go to the SC to have them reset them!I spoke to my SC. They say that with the X and the new model S versions being delivered, the menu has vanished from the screen. They also claim that for EVERY wheel swap (winter-summer), even if the size is the same, the TPMS need to be reset. They seem to be using a new TPMS system that knows which tire is which (wasn't the case before?), so that can only be done in the SC. When I asked him if it could be done at a tire center, he wasn't sure.
Can someone shed some light on this? It's all very unclear...
Wow, that TPMS is "Made in Mexico". Quick, delete that picture before Trump gets a hold of it.Those of us that have 2 sets of wheels here in the US have found that the TPMS simply sees the new sensors after 10 min or so of driving and resets itself. No need to go to the SC to have them reset them!
I bought TPMS sensors from my local SC but others have found that the system will see other sensors as well. I chose not to test that and the ones from Tesla weren't that much more expensive. Here's a picture of the sensor from Tesla.

What rim model is that? Those are really nice.I put on 19" Bridgestone Blizzaks from Tire Rack just in time for two long trips in ice and snow. No slipping and no issues. Tire Rack sent direct to my home a set of four, ready to mount with balancing and Tesla-compatible TPMS for $2278. That's more than $500 less than Tesla charges, and the Blizzak is one of the highest rated winter tires.

Hi, my question is not as much related to snow tires, but rather to the difference in offset (ET) of the 19" Cyclone rims vs. the 20" Slipstream rims on the rear axle. We have a X90 up for delivery in March, and as we're in Europe, it comes on summer tires. We would have liked to have all-season tires on the original 20" Slipstream rims, but this was unfortunately not possible.
As a courtesy, we have been offered a set of 19" Cyclone rims with snow tires - very nice, but not very convenient, as we live in two different locations, and stocking the unused wheels represents a logistical problem. We are currently considering putting Pirelli Scorpion All-Season on the 19" rims, and using this setup all year round. Until now, we have only seen photos of the 19" Cyclone rims from the side, and the rear track seems narrow - narrower than the 10 mm reduction in tire width and the 5 mm difference in offset should justify. Does anyone by chance have photos taken from the rear of these two setups?? TIA, sorry for the long post.
