21 Uberturbines to 19 Gemini

[Pcuz]

Can I reuse the lug nuts from my Uberturbines to put on my gemini winter tire setup?

Anything else I need to worry about or consider in making this switch?

Yes. Am using my Gemini lugs on my Uberturbines right now. Assuming you are using TPMS on both sets, it is a very easy swap.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Appreciate it!

If both sets have TPMS... is there anything you need to do for the car to recognize the new TPMS sensors?

Hi Jimmy,

So regular lugs from Ubers definitely work on geminis? And you were able to torque them to the proper amount?

when you switch wheels to another set with Tesla TPMS, how to you tell the car?

My understanding is that with a Model Y, it recognizes it automatically after driving the car for a little bit.

Yep. They worked great and torque down to spec.

Thank you!

Was the ride much improved?

Well I went from Geminis to Ubers, so no improvement in ride, but not a huge degradation either. I go back to the Geminis for winter setup later this month.

Yep - It just worked. You can change the setup in the UI if you want more accurate range.

I am getting a MYP but plan to sell the Ubers with the tires as soon as I receive the car. I plan to purchase the Winter package Geminis from Tesla but this disclaimer from the website has had me confused "Note: This package is not compatible with Model Y Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configured with 21" Performance Wheels. " Does this mean it will not fit on the YP? and would it void any warranty if I did?

What I've heard is the tires fit. It's more of a tire rating thing. ie.) Winter gemini's aren't speed rated for a MYP. Doesn't seem like a big deal imo, plenty of people do this.

Just finished switching my Uberturbines to Gemini wheels on my MYP. Used my original lugs and torqued to spec 129 ft lbs. Haven't driven it yet since the swap but excited to see if there is any performance difference and comfort. I'm using the Gemini wheels for winter set up.

where'd you get the Geminis from

How’s the ride? Improved?

I bought them on this forum from a local seller. Basically brand new with everything included with less than 50 miles for $1700.

This can be all in my head but I did notice a pretty big difference. I've put 14,000 miles on my Uberturbines so I have a good sense of what the car felt like prior to doing the swap. Overall the car feels lighter to me and smoother. Acceleration feels more snappy to me but again probably all in my head . Road noise seems to be the same to me and maybe slightly quieter.

I'm definitely happy with the end result and plan to still keep my Uberturbines for summer set up. My wife will eventually drive the car too so she'll give her honest opinion as she doesn't care about stuff like this.

Actually, you would choose any of the 3 presets for the appropriate wheel size via the wheel configuration menu.

I know you can choose the wheel size in the menu settings. I was referring to TPMS configuring themselves automatically.

TPMS automatically synced up after about 2 minutes of driving for me.
