Dumb question - can 2016-17 MS P100D use 19" tires? Sticker only mentions 21" tires for max weight

The sticker on a 2016.5 MS P100D I'm looking at only mentions 21" tires on the VIN and "Tire and loading information" stickers. Maybe this is a dumb question, but can I safely put 19" winter tires on this car and then load it up with passengers, etc, up to the GVWR (5996 lbs)? Or are 21" tires more supportive of the extra weight? Just curious why the stickers wouldn't mention the other potential tire size.

I would be looking to replace the 21" with 19" permanently, for lower noise and better range.

I wouldn't normally ask, as I've seen plenty of P100D's posted with 19" tires, but this one has the 3rd row jump seats (in addition to the heavy 100kWh battery, larger rear motor, etc).

Yes, the 19-in version from the same vehicles fits just fine. In fact, this is generally the very first thing I do upon buying a Model S with 21s is to swap them out for 19s.

The sticker just reflects the wheels your car left the factory with. Mine is the same - sticker for 21s but as above I swapped them out for 19s pronto.
