255/50r19 quatrac pro on Gemeni w pics

Keep in mind that even if some YouTubers say it's fine, our wheels are 2 sizes (1") too wide according to the tire specs. I'd use caution basing safety decisions on a YouTuber (or someone like me posting on a forum for that matter). At some point, being out of spec is an issue. How much? Hard to say.

I'd be concerned if they are fine under a high lateral load and hitting a pothole.

Thanks for your detailed response brother I appreciate it

I personally didn’t have a single issue. Decided to test it myself since there wasn’t much info online. 40k miles later zero regrets.

How was handling and acceleration? The same as the stock tire setup? Range?

Definitely more grip with the falkens in all conditions. Slower acceleration and less range are trade offs but worth it to me. Plenty fast still and i get about 260miles at 100% soc. It all depends on what you are looking for in a car

Do you think with the +35 offset you’d be able to go 265/50-19? Curious about the clearance…

Did you end up going with that tire size? I'm looking to get 255/50/19 for 19x9.5 +35 wheels for winter

Here are mine. 255/50/19 as OP. Wheels are Replika 241 19x9.5. I like the smoother ride on rough roads.

What offset are your rims? I'm looking at the same setup but +35 offset, hoping it works

My tyre shop refused to put the 255/50/19 winter tyres on today, stating that it would completely 'ruin my car' and citing safety issues due to the 3,6% increased circumference compared to the standard 255/45/19

What is the experience from others, any issues with the bigger tyres? No interference with control arms or fender? Other issues?

 

[MY-Y]

As the OP, I can tell you that I've got over 38K miles on mine with no issues.

Thanks. Not even over potholes or traffic humps?

Pretty bizarre the the tyre shop just turned us away. Will need to find another more flexible one.

I also have an update. On the same setup, Quatrack Pros are at between 4/32 and 5/32 depending on the tires at 25000 Miles. The thread wear is the best I had on any of the 4 Teslas I had before including OEM MY Contis. I probably have another 2-3 K Miles left on them before the wet season starts in SF Bay Area. Has anyone tried Nokian WR G4 SUV on the Model Y? Tirerack pricing is not making the Quatrack Pros a value tire anymore thus will try something else. We have used WR G4 on Lexus sedan year around in Chicago and it performed great. Still going to go with 255/50/19 size. Oh, and I do have MPP Lift now.

DId you end up trying the WR G4 yet on 255/55/19? I just got a 1.75" lift and think this will be great combo. What do you think?
