Curb Rash MYP 21" Uberturbine (Fixable?)

[Destiny1701]

Should be very minimal or negligible.

Correct. I’d say maybe 2-3%

 

[Destiny1701]

Can you post a picture to see what they look like now? Thanks

Very Nice!!!
How much did you pay for that 295 tires? They look like the same Micheline AS tires as OEM.

They are indeed I paid around $350 each. USD. Tirerack.com

I had to find the identical OEM. The 255’s I have stored at home as spares incase of flats etc.

The rims are now officially semi ‘wife proofed’ lmao

My wife went on a Costco run and took the MYP. It came back with a deep curb rash on the right rear wheel.

This one looks pretty deep and not sure if it can be fixable. Looking for recommendations.

Does Tesla sell 21" Uberturbine wheels separately?

Is anyone in the Bay Area looking to sell their Uberturbine as a set (4x wheels + tires) or separate set (Just the rears only)?

Thanks in advance.

No sir. Zero rubbing or calibration issue.
The interesting thing is that the diameter of the 255 to 275’s is .5” variance front to back and the diff of the 275 to 295 is the exact same .5” variance. So the sensor it’s don’t see any change in % variance front to back.

From the aspect of Speedometer reading yes there would a slight variation in real vs rotational speed. Too slight to notice.

This is interesting! So does it mean we can run 4x 275 front and back? This will allow rotating tires. Wondering if anyone has this setup.

So just have a bottle of touch up paint handy.

Or Scotch

and it will look very weird because the rear tires will be stretched while the front tires are not.

Just looked at American Tire: Michelin, Pilot Sport All Season 295/35/21 $400 each.
I’m going with what came in the MYP Pirelli P Zero, 295/35/21 $390 each

Very fixable. Find an alloy wheel repair shop. They can easily make it look better than new when finished.

Yep. I’d just go with whatever stock you have currrently. Mine was the AS Michelins.

Correct there. The fronts will look perfect and the rears stretched. 4 identical sizes on the MYP 9.5 and 10.5” set up is not possible.
Going to a non staggered 20” 285/40/20 would work though

 

[nate704]

275 front and 295 rear will be perfect

285 on the 9.5in rim is the sweet spot imo. Can't believe they stretched the **** out of it with 255s stock, smh.

Tbh the 275 gives just enough protection without looking like it’s protruding out from the rim. Also 285 you’d have rubbing.

It’s also cost effective to simply move your 275’s to the front rims and only purchase 2 rear tires. If you sell the 255’s, can prob recover half the cost of the 295’s.

The additional .5” diameter on front /back and 39 psi also help mitigate bumps and soften the suspension over oem stock …added benefit.
