I went with Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 from Discount Tire - they are really nice, I don't think they have any foam inside them but seem quiet and smooth so far.

I just ordered a set of the replika r263 which are basically the same and come in the same specs as the 19” Gemini wheels. Only thing is they come in satin black, wish they would have the grey option.

For what it’s worth. Replikas are 9.5” wide, drag dr-83s are 8.5” wide. Not sure what sort of a difference having a narrower than stock makes.

Wow, they come with 70k mile warranty. I was planning on going with Michelins but I may have to reconsider, the Michelins I was looking at come with a 50k warranty.

Waiting on my replika r263 to be delivered to my friends tire shop to be installed soon.

Where do I see that screen? I don’t know why I can’t find it.

New shoes were put on yesterday - I think they turned out great....ride is smooth and quiet.

I'm noticing Discount Tire says these wheels won't fit a '22 or '23 MYP, but WILL fit a 2020 MYP (I skipped '21). I'm wondering why that is. They should've had time to update their website for at least the '22. Did Discount Tire note that? How did that discussion go?

Just stopped in the store and discussed that wheel option with the DC Tire dude, they checked the specs and said we should go for it.

What do you mean? I thought you already had them.

I do, misunderstood your previous comment about the discount tire website....I would suggest anyone interested in wheels or tires talk to the peeps at the store, they are very happy to help and have great information.

I just got a call today that the replacement wheel was delivered to my friends shop but I’m on vacation in Mexico. Getting them mounted next week.

Weather is getting better, but these wheels and tires are doing a nice job - 308 Wh/mi

Just picked up my car from getting the replika r263s installed. 19x9.5 +45 with the tires from my Gemini wheels.

DR-83 18x8. Nitto Nomad Grappler 245/60-18. Tesla center cape from my stock wheels fit great.

I might have to grab a set of the induction center caps to switch it up sometimes.
