@spartan0516 Pictures would be great. Good to know about the fitment; the Martian wheels I am considering are 19x8.5 +35.
Thanks

I just received the tires from Italy.I just ordered Pirelli P-Zero Winter Staggered from Italy on eBay. $1900 !!!
BTW they are available in Canada but not in the USA.
Tirerack said they won’t have them this year.
Tesla said go square.
Sorry but square doesn’t meet load range and issues discussed above. Not worth the risk to find out who’s right.
Nokian have poor wet braking. Well, roads are more likely wet than snow covered in New England. Nokian also slightly noisier. Pirelli are less efficient. I can deal with that.
So Pirelli is the best snow I can find for my needs.
Xice is a great tire. You will not be disappointed. Road noise seems the same. If this was a more dedicated winter driving car I would have opted for xice but have the BMW for the heavier days. Nokian R3s here. Also a great tire.The wheels look great. Have you noticed any additional road noise? I was going back and forth between Michelin X-Ice and Vredestein. I went with X-Ice because they said road noise should be less. Also, I don't have a backup SUV, so I hope these will get me through when needed as long as clearance is good.
I went with Martian MW03 wheels 19x8.5+35 Satin Black and Michelin X-ice 255/45R19XL
I will post some pics after Blu Mobile installs on 11/15.
Here you go. Initial impressions of 19" vs 21" (with non-max performance tires) are that it rides a LOT smoother. I didn't notice any additional road noise and can't comment on range since I haven't put enough miles on them yet. But so far so good and they look like they fill up the wheel wells just fine.@spartan0516 Pictures would be great. Good to know about the fitment; the Martian wheels I am considering are 19x8.5 +35.

I got the same setup from TireRack. Haven't really challenged them much but seem to be solid. I am mostly surprised by how quiet they are. I expect snows to be a bit noisier but these actually seemed to quieter than the all seasons.I just got a set of four 19X8.5 RIAL LUGANO OE CAP GRAPHITE SILVER wheels with four 255/45R-19 VREDESTEIN WINTRAC PRO XL from Tire Rack for my '22 MSLR. Full disclosure: I haven't mounted them up or driven on them yet, but I was very surprised at how good they look and they arrived at my house next day ready to mount up! They even came with factory Tesla center caps.
I haven't taken mine on the highway yet, but yeah.... quiet with a smooth ride. Hopefully they'll tackle the snow!I got the same setup from TireRack.

Is there any chance you can provide the details on the wheels and tires you bought, and where you got them from? I have a '22 Model S with 21" wheels and in Massachusetts am concerned aobut trying to get through winter. The folks at Town Fair Tire looked very not-confident when I was trying to work with them on a wheel/snow tire package.Wheels/tires are mounted. Overall I’m happy with how it looks. Way better than the tempest wheel. Have 5 miles on them so hopefully things go well View attachment 870758View attachment 870759
Nice - surprised you were able to find them. When I checked yesterday, they were backordered until end of Jan for the 19’s from Tirerack and same with my local Discount Tire. I ended up going with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV’s in Tesla normal 19 sizing. Get them installed next week.I have a set of the new Pirelli P Zero Winter tires being installed on the OEM 21" wheels this Friday. They are Tesla marked (T0), the electric mark, and the foam. Will see how they do and report back.
I got a set of the Tesla spec PZero WInters for the 21" arachnids from 1010tires in early October. Looks like they have the front in stock but the rear is out of stock right now; it was a similar situation in early October, I submitted my email to notify me once in stock, and a few days later it was and I ordered. Pleasantly surprised that even though they are a Canadian company the tires arrived at my doorstep less than 24 hours later! Not too much snow yet here in the Detroit area, but doing great in the cold weather (mid-20s) and we had like a dusting of snow a few days ago.Nice - surprised you were able to find them.
