I will 100% go with 19” rims, some design that doesn’t collect snow (or is at least easy to remove - no 10 spoke bullshit), but will keep the staggered pattern. Losing 30 tread width on the rear is too spooky for me at 1,000 HP.It’s a difficult question it seems. Been researching and not able to find a good answer on square setup. Tesla recommends the standard 19 scattered for winter. Below is the official spec from Tesla winter package which should come out in few weeks. I assume it will cost around 5-6k which is very expansive. I am moving toward 19x9.5 rim with 255/45/19 square setup. Ideally nokian rubber
Here is Tesla official winter:

This is official model S Manuel about tire setup

Let me know which way you go. From where I stand they are all about 4 weeks lead time
Having the same weight over less surface area would mean more frequent tire changes, but the difference is probably minor.
