275/45-19 Tires

[RyFreddy]

Hi all,
I’ve been browsing the tsportline website and see that they now offer this tire size as an option with their wheels, in addition to the stock 255/45-19 tire size.
I googled and searched the forums but can’t find anything about this tire fitment, handling, range, etc. I found some items on staggered set up’s and on 20-21” wheels only.
Any thoughts on this size, or links where this has been discussed? I would imagine the tire might protect the wheel from curb rash a bit more and may provide better handling on pavement, however, that be at the cost of less range, slightly costlier tires, etc.
Let me know you’re thoughts!

275/45/19 will definitely provide better protection for rims and wider tires will result it better handling. And it will fit the rim.
But it will mess up your speed reading. There is no way to correct it.
Some people go with Tesla 3 rim and put 255/45/19 gives a better protection and keeps speedo in check. As an option.

How much more do they weigh over the OEM tires, I wonder what the range hit would be?

Good point.
275 would be 6 lbs heavier.
255 is 26lbs and 275 is 32lbs.

Great points, thanks all! Speedo not a huge concern for me but hadn’t thought about the tire weight… I’m not really considering the 275’s but just curious since they were now offered from a 3rd party. I think a 265 width would be perfect if more tire choices were available.

I have the 275/45R19's on my Model Y and love them. Absolutely no curb rash now.

GeezerSquid, Can you post a few photos of your 275/45R19's? I am thinking about picking up a set of the Martian MW03 Forged 19x9.5 +45 rims with Continental DWS 06 + tires at 28.7" diameter. Not too many choices in High Performance All Season Tires in the size but I like Continentals for their capability and ride quality.

Sure, but I do have my car lifted 10mm. So take that into consideration. But I can tell you they aren't even close to the suspension system. I got them thinking they would better protect my rims from Curb Rash. Well, they may help, but they do not totally prevent it.

I'll take some picks later today.

Ok no rush! Thanks

 

[GeezerSquid]

Forgot yesterday! I'll try for today.

275 /45/19 Dws06 plus in the rears. Fronts only running 255/45/19 not squared. I do love the beefy look and ride. Super smooth.
