245/45 or 245/50 instead of 255/45 tires for MY LR AWD?

[Volleyballmom]

Any northern-clime Model Y drivers out there with experience with Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV or EV studded tires?

Apparently, we're supposed to get 255/45R19 tires for our Model Y Long-Range AWD, but we can't find any in stock.

Wondering if any of the tires below would be a good option, and if anyone had any experience using any of them?

245/45R19

245/50R19

255/50R19

Thanks,
Rhonda

Try this to see the difference in size compared to OEM 255/45R19 tires: Tire Size Comparison | Compare tires and wheels

Tire Size	Tire Diameter (in.)	Speedometer Difference (%)
255/45R19 (OEM)	28	N/A
245/45R19	27.7	+1.3
245/50R19	28.6	-2.1
255/50R19	29	-3.5

I don't actually have any experience with these alternative sizes but I'm looking to replace the OEM tires with those that give more tire sidewall / ground clearance w/o hitting the suspension knuckle or rub.

Thanks. Aside from speedometer difference, do you know what other impacts a slight difference in tire diameter would have? In terms of safety, tire lifespan, braking, energy efficiency, etc.
