A few months back, I took delivery of the TSportline TSS 20 inch wheel & tire package, with Michelin AS3+ 255/40/20 tires. I was excited to have them installed at my local Discount Tire after hearing many good reviews and recommendations from the Tesla community.
Discount Tire, however, refused to install the wheels on my Model Y Performance because the load rating on the tires was below the stock wider rear tires on the 21 inch Uberturbines (103W). They said they could install them in the front which had a lower load rating due to the staggered fitment. Despite me explaining that the Performance model is the same weight as the Long Range, for which the stock tires matched the load rating of the Michelin aftermarket tires, they said they could not install my aftermarket tires since they were below the factory spec.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue switching to a square fitment aftermarket wheel/tire package on the Model Y Performance? I would like to consider going back to Discount Tire for rotations, but the rep said they would be unable to service my car with those tires installed.
