Biggest tires on model Y performance

[jellyfam]

What are the biggest tires you can fit on the model Y performance on 21 inch ubertines without hitting the sidewalls? I like the rim size but I just want a little more smoother ride. Would 275/40/21 fit?

This is a good thread for reference with plenty of first hand experience and pictures.

Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

I am trying to determine what the maximum tires size anyone can confirm so far on the MYP. I just swapped over to my winter setup, but will to replace the Pirelli’s come next spring. I am running 20mm spacer in the front and 25mm spacers in the rear. I would like to run Vredestein Quatrac...

Was wondering if anyone had replaced the suspension with some aftermarket ones versus just changing the tire size and if the difference in quality of ride was significant.

I’m also eyeballing this setup @Candyman2385 - however I’m also 1”ish lower than stock MYP on UPP sport springs.

I’ll certainly go wider OR taller… but not convinced I can have both.

Thanks. Have you had any issues with tire clearance when carrying a full complement of passengers or while towing a load?

Stock/Staggered Überturbines and I just got new rear tires only… Pirelli P-Zeros in 275/35… I wanted to go wider but Discount Tire didn’t have any available. AND the “new” P-Zeros have a curb rash “lip”!!

Compare my pictures of the new P-Zero rear 275/35 w the stock/Tesla P-Zero 255/35…

My tire sizes are still stock/staggered, but the rears have rim protection now! Had I known that, I may have just replaced the fronts also but they have enough tread left so I didn’t. (Lead foot)

Wtf that's like 4 inches taller??

I've had both Pirelli and Michelin OEM tires. The Michelins in OEM sizing have a lip similar to the Pirelli 295s pictured. It isn't much protection but still slightly better than nothing.

275/40/21 and 295/40/21 - smoother and less bumpy

275/40/21 and 295/40/21 - smoother and less bumpy

But he said 22" wheels.. typo?

I used 285/35/20 on ,9.5x 20 35 offset rims and definitely found the ride to be still firm which is fine but less harsh. Car has a way more sold feel less nervous over broken surfaces. List about 6% in range but may up tire pressure a little as ride is less annoying. No doubt will get better as tires get run in.

Can you just do 265/40/21 all around?

Rear is not the problem it's the fronts.

Rear is not the problem it's the fronts.

I’ve read from multiple people that front 265/40 is totally fine

 

[Yperformance]

So should be ok depending on tire brand, they all differ slightly.

Will this setup work for my MYP with OEM Uberturbines?
Front - 265/40/21 - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S
Rear - 275/40/21 - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S

I am rolling with the same fronts and 295/40/21 - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S for the rears with no issues. So you should be fine. It has been a great upgrade!

I have 295/35/20's on all 4 corners.
