Hi all. I'm getting mixed responses from Tesla vs a couple of tire shops. My question is not about specific tire or rim brands, but more so about the 'requirement' of a staggered wheel formation. Tesla has said 'although the rims you have will physically bolt up to the vehicle, your 2022 model S requires a staggered wheel formation 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear. Deviating from the staggered formation could negativity effect traction control and vehicle stability systems, overall handling, and in some cases prevent Autopilot from working". Is this Tesla's attempt to sell me on their winter tire package, or is what they are saying factual?
Here are the specs of the winter tires / rims I have currently (used just last season on my 2015 Model S if that matters):
Rims - TESLA MODEL S 19X8.5-5X120 Tires - MICH X-ICE XI3 102H 245/45R19. I went with 4 of the same rims and tires all around on my 2015
Thanks for any input!
