Does anyone have Michelin MXM4 on their 19" wheels?

[Rpgonzalez]

Update:
I was going to fit new 19's with Michelin MXM4's to keep from possibly losing range. For lack of info on my original question, I pulled the trigger and bought 19" wheels with Pirell's p7+'s (and crossed my fingers.)

After 1000 miles on the OEM michelins and 500 miles on the Pirellis, Im firmly stuck on 250wh/mi for my commute for both sets of tires. Anecdotally, I feel like the Pirellis do not grip as well on launch. Either that, or the SR+ isnt fast enough for me anymore

Conclusion: buy LRR tires when upsizing and range will stay the same.

I recently had to replace my tires on my 19s. Went with 245 width Michelin AS 3+ which are a HUGE upgrade in handling and ride quality. I did lose ~10% efficiency but i'm completely satisfied.

How is the noise?

How is the noise?

Not noticeably different than the contis. Based on the reviews, the noise supposedly starts getting a lot worse as they wear but so far they’re perfectly quiet.

still relevant, at least for me! Thanks!

This is a hard car to find a tire for. Since it is a tesla, I really want it to be quiet. Ideally, long lasting as well. That leaves so little on the market already when the standard for quiet is raised so high by the OEM tires.

Ugh...I wish I just knew already. I'm exhausted of all the research and conflicting answers or lack of answers. It seems to almost always be one or the other when it comes to tires especially. And especially even more so for Tesla.

What about the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife? They won't work for 18" rims, but should work for 19". They don't have the same speed rating as the Contis, but the TireRack reviews are good.

Especially with the 19s. There are very few choices at 235 width which is the main reason I went with 245. Good luck with the decision.

Plus the 245 provides extra wheel protection if running 8.5" or 9" wheels. I will not be installing 235 when I replace rubber.

Pirelli P7+. If all you are looking for is long life (UTQG700) and quiet ride, then this is the tire for you. I did exhaustive research too, and on top of maintaining range not sure why you are still looking.

Not too heavy as well, which is what made me keep looking after discovering the Turanza Quiettrack. I'll check your suggestion out. Thank you !

FWIW I don't find the 19s to ride harsh at all compared to 18s.

Agreed

The effect that tire profile has on comfort is grossly overrated.

I went from 20" OEM PS4S to 18" PS4S (in OEM size) and felt no difference in ride quality at the same tire pressure.

However, I recently put on 18"OEM MXM4 and felt a significant difference in ride quality and quietness.

They are on closeout at tirerack.com right now. I was able to get Americas Tire to Price match, so right now they are a super bargain (since the p7+ II's came out)

Sorry, I haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet. Just haven’t had a chance. Will let you know as soon as I do.

I see you put the quiettracks on your car. How's performance? Wearing well?

I did, and apologies for not updating the thread. I plum forgot!

so far so good. I’m down to about 7/32 tread right now after about 15,000 miles. I’m happy with that.
The tires themselves are great; they feel fantastic, are fairly quiet and haven’t hurt efficiency much. I’m showing average wh/mi at 253 right now. Can’t complain about that!

My only issue is that the 19s are too low profile for the horrific roads here in NJ. I’ve already bent and repaired 3 wheels. Once I wear through the QuietTracks, I’m considering getting a set of T-Sportline 18s, so I get the “look” of the 19s but with a taller sidewall. Still haven’t committed to it.

I plan to put either MXM4 or P7+ On my 19s. I’ll post when I have some efficiency numbers. Despite everyone trashing the stock tires, I’ve been through like 6 sets of tires now and haven’t found any as efficient as the MXM4.

I put on larger brakes so the 18 aeros don’t fit anymore. (I could swap the rotors off when not racing, but seems like a hassle).

I have a performance and the 80k warranty looks good. Good chance I get a free set. 32k from Conti's.

Bump.

Hoping to buy some Tsportline TS5 19” wheels. Has anyone tried MXM4 tires on 19” wheels yet? Can’t lose too much range for looks alone with my long commute.

 

[MountainPass]

We have the MXM4 tires in a non-Tesla spec on our 19x10" wheels for daily driving. The efficiency of them is horrible. Keep in mind that non-Tesla spec tires are very different, even among the same tire model!

They are fun in that they don't have much grip, so sliding around is a good time. That's about the only positive

For reference - the 21" Tesla-spec P-Zero's on our Model Y performance gets more or less the same efficiency as the 19" MXM4's on our Model 3 on city roads.

Putting FAST EV-01's with aero covers on the car with the Tesla Model 3 spec Conti 19's dropped the consumption by something like 18%. It was massive. And this was very much at low speeds as well as at high speeds, so it's not just aerodynamics.

 

[MasterC17]

Honestly, I really like the Tesla Spec OEM 19" Conti's. Good efficiency, can easily last 40k miles or more.
