That thought crossed my mind, but no one makes “bias-ply” tires in that size any more!
I guess someone still does make them, for boat trailers!That thought crossed my mind, but no one makes “bias-ply” tires in that size any more!

13" will get you 2 seconds faster around any track, just like F1
Ceramic coat #3 applied. #4 will go on after tires are mated with wheels! Next up - re boxing wheels and loading/securing them (and the tires) on the utility trailer that I will pull with my MYP! Next stop, Discount tire at 8am tomorrow morning!

Do Discount Tire offer touchless mounting? I hate the thought of a tire shop damaging my expensive rims, which is why I use my PPF guys, who have special machine that folks like Ferrari require in order to change the tires without damaging the rims.Ceramic coat #3 applied. #4 will go on after tires are mated with wheels!

Well, I think so and I told them what the value of my rims were! Will ask again when I get there. I do know they do road force balancing, which I want.
All loaded up and ready to roll early tomorrow morning! Good, trailer and tow vehicle (aka, "TV")!

Could you let us know how the ride comfort compares especially over small bumps in the road? I heard that with lighter wheels comfort over small bumps might suffer. This is the only worry I have with going to lighter wheels. Coming from a Raven Model S, ride comfort is the only negative with the Plaid. Thank you in advance
Will do! One reason I went with 19s is comfort.

Day 3; Big day…
Up early, picked up two dozen donuts and headed to Discount Tire at 7am. Road force balance was the best outcome they’ve seen on a set of wheels and tires, they said! The most sr. tech worked on my mount and balance. Total time was 30 minutes. They really dialed it in precisely, knowing it was going on my vibrating Plaid!
This afternoon will bring rear flap, N2itive RXS-2 Plaid lowering links and wheel installation. Photos to follow of the completed mod.

Well, for those that use, they are our very own @M4H4X member’s design! I like my paint and don’t feel like replacing sheets of doubled up PPF!

Looking forward to your pics and experience. I too have a Plaid currently swapped out the arachnids 21” for SV104’s 19” with Michelin Pilot All Season 4 matching Tesla 19” setup. This is my winter and road trip setup. Signature Wheels are high quality. Love them.
Which tires you mounting?

I have Continental ProContact All Seasons on the OEM wheels for fall-Spring. These will get summer Pirelli PZero TO Elects.
