Has anyone used a Tire of a different size on their Tesla Model Y

[MikeHolliday]

My car used 255/45 R19 from the factory. I am thinking about the CrossClimate2s in 265/50 R19 110V XL BSW.
The 5% increase in circumference show in theory help with the approx. 5% loss in range. Has anyone out there
done something similar???

That is 15% more sidewall height and 4% more width, I am wondering if it'll rub on full steering lock.

The wider tires are probably not helping with rolling resistance

I am considering a 245/55R19 - It is 0.4" narrower, is 1.6" taller. The Circumference increases by 5" or 5.7%. The taller sidewalls might soften the ride and increase in circumference means that I would travel further per revolution and might help to overcome range loss due to the stickiness of the tire...

CrossClimate2s have a much higher rolling resistance than oem. A afaik ev owners complain of around 10% range loss when switching to these in same size. If you are going even wider, expect that range loss to go up even more.

Mike Holliday: An advanced search will return several ongoing threads on this topic. Lots of good info.

Here's my experience, just yesterday, with a curb and some wider tires:

Caught the curb, no rash. Ugh.

I am thinking of going with the 245/50-R19 it is 1/2 in. 4% narrower with a 1.9 in. 2.1% increase in circumference. I really would like a 245/55-R19 it is 1/2 in. 4% narrower with a 5 in. 5.7% increase in circumference, but that tire is not available in a 245/55-R19....

MikeHolliday: Going to a 245 will increase the amount of Gemini/Apollo rim that juts out from the tire. Check out this thread...

Is this tire fit correct, does anyone have pictures of their Michelin cross climate 2?

255/45/R19 1. Is this normal/installed correctly? 2. Will this be a problem (e.g. mud/snow)? 3. Should I get a different size? Purchased the new CC2s for my 22 model Y, but the wheel lip sticks out. Other pictures in TMC or elsewhere seem to show the same thing.
