265/40r20 works great for rim protection. I’m running that size for winter tires on factory turbines. At 70 on the Speedo your really doing 69. Really no big deal.

Great. I have the tires and induction wheels, ready to take them to the shop to get built.

I went with the Perelli Sottozero 2 tires. They are the only ones I could find in the 265/40/20

I also took the plunge and replaced my stock Goodyear with the Crossclimate 2 in 255-45-20. The day after I put them on, we had 8 inches of snow and it’s a night and day difference driving in snow compared to the stock Goodyears.
On dry pavements, the ride is softer thanks to the taller sidewalk. The car has noticeably more roll. And they’re just as quiet, or maybe even quieter than the stock tires even at highway speed. It’s been a week and efficiency dropped a bit. I’m averaging 358 wh/mi with the new tires mostly highway driving. These tires do not provide any rim protection though.
Overall I’m satisfied with these tires. They even look kinda cool with the interesting tread pattern and filling up the wheel well nicely. Those traded offs are a small price to pay when it comes to my family’s safety.

You might notice some tire hop - I actually have my car in service as we speak today due to a sometimes occurring clunk sound I hear. I was told it's "tire hop" due to the slightly out of spec OEM tire size. Nothing to worry about in terms of causing damage, but you might hear it when you are at very low speeds and turning the wheels at full lock. I have the same crossclimate 2's 255/45R20's installed.

I also think the tire hop can be exasperated by the unique tread pattern of the cc2’s.
Can you describe the feeling? I’ve had a handful of times where I’ve had a slight shimmy on the tire, I’ve kind of attributed it to roll but it feels more at the tire. Also correct me if I’m wrong you’re on ubertine 20” not induction 20’s? 9 vs 9.5”

Correct, I’m on the m3p 20” ubers.
It sounds like a quick clunk and then I can feel it in the footwell. Without informing the SC when it happens they said it will happen more likely at slow speeds, on pavement, and when it’s cold. That is exactly when it happens more. And turning. It won’t happen when the tires are warmed up, and also correct…. I haven’t had it happen after I’ve been driving for a while.
It sort of sounds like how the battery can sound when it’s flexing at a supercharger. Little lower.

This is the setup I’d like to go with. Any luck with getting the speedo recalibrated?

You don’t need to recalibrate the Speedo. It’s off by like .4mph.
I’m told by Tesla that they cannot do a speedometer recalibration for non-standard configurations. But it’s only off by 2-3 mph at high speeds, so little that it barely matters (i.e. not wrong enough to get you pulled over unless the cop is a real stickler)

Thanks for the information! I agree that it is negligible and just more annoying than anything.
Hi Everyone - I read through this post and want to confirm I have it correctly. I have a 2021 MY LR with the 20" Induction wheels. I need an all season tire that is hopefully less bumpy and offers rim protection.
It sounds like the concensus is to do the Michelin CrossClimate 2, in 265/55/r20? Is this too much? Any feedback before I make the plunge? Thank you!

Incorrect. 255/45R20 is what you want.
265/55r20 will be way too big and will 100% rub.

Also note that the CC2 in 255-45-20 offer NO rim protection. The edge of the tire sits flush with the rim.
The Vredestein offers some rim protection as you can see in post 25 in this thread.
