We have inductions on our Model Y. No issues whatsoever with the this tire/rim combo.

Any noticeable hit on range? Would you mind posting some pics? I'd love to see how a 275 looks on the wheel and fills the gap.. I personally feel the 255 looks way too stretched
I am also thinking of getting M3 20" uberturbines with 255/45R20 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on my Model Y LR which is getting delivered next week. I prefer a comfortable ride and would like some rim protection but sounds like I can't have both. I was initially thinking about going with 265/40R20 but this thread has me convinced to go with 45s. Has anyone done both and preferred one over the other?
This exact setting I'm think of too....
I love my induction wheel but hate the noise from tire.
I did some research and looks like dws has soft wall and low noise..
Who is you ride with it?
I live in the SF Bay Area, so 99% of the driving is on dry or wet roads (very little snow/ice driving for me). Of the following tires, which are best for ride comfort, road grip (yet keeping Wh/mile low), and longevity? Both tires sizes are the same (255/45/R20).
1) Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus ($233 per tire).
2) Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 ($273 per tire).
Thanks in advance!

Do a search for both online, you will see that people who have had both will say they are very close with negligible difference. As high perf all season, they are decent but compromise across the factors you care about, and Wh/mile is going to be much worse than stock tires for the road grip provided.
Nobody is going to be able to give you the measurable difference in range. It’s already too difficult with multiple variables on different trips, plus changing these (255 and 275 width) change the overall diameter so the trip computer and efficiency readout on the car will be wrong. If you just care about looks, you need to suck it up and accept whatever the range impact is.
Reviving this thread a bit but need to put new tires on my Model Y and am stuck between these two:
CONTINENTAL CONTROL CONTACT SPORT SRS+ 255/45R20 105Y XL / Tred 560 Traction A Temp A
PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS ELECT 255/40R20 105Y XL / Tred 500 Traction AA Temp A
Leaning toward the Pirelli with that better traction rating since its probably going to start being really rainy here.

Plug in the numbers and compare:
OE 255/40-20
? 255/50-20
Tire Size Comparison
Tire size comparison the easy way. Use our tire size comparison calculator to compare diameter, width, sidewall, circumference and revolutions per mile.
Probably not; 2" larger diameter. Speedometer would be off, read low by 7.1%.
I think the 30" diameter tire (255/50-20) versus the OE 28" tire might not clear the front suspension. Perhaps someone who has installed the 255/50-20 size tires on their LRMY can provide information re the fit.
Here are Michelin Pilot All Seasons 255/45 20R on M3P Uberturbines. I like the way they turned out. No rubbing even at full tilt. The ride is definitely more comfortable but they are new so no real data on how it has affected range. I am coming from 21" Uberturbines-> 19" Gemini -> 20" Uberturbines.
I'll update when I get more time with them

Don’t do it. I tried. You lose road feel. 255/45/20 are best for performing and ride cushion.
