Limited replacement tire options for the 19s?

[apmorgan]

Curious about this, too. I'm going 245/40r19 in the spring.

I don't have the spacers yet - any pros and cons with them based on your experience?

Thanks!

On a related note, I assume the 20” wheels on the P could go from 235/35R20 to 245/35R20 without any issue, correct?

Someone here had 255/35 on the 20" (Michelin A/S 3+). Both MPP and Apex assure me that the 265/40 18's will fit no problem.

Our M3 actually came with 245/40r19s when we bought it used from Tesla. I always wondered why the speedo was off by 1mph slower than the speed limit.

Actually went with Conti DWS06 in a 255/40/19 and am very happy with them, approx. 7 to 8% range loss but no rubbing and excellent handling/stopping compared to stock.

How does road noise compare with DWS06? I'm considering this or the 235/40 Purecontact LS

They are a little noisier than the stock 19's and I had a set of the aero 18" wheels on once with the stock primacy tires, those were even more quiet but handling and comfort went up on these 255's, handling by a bunch and comfort by a little. also they have approx. 25k miles on them now and am down to 5/32 on the fronts and 3/32 on the rears, I cannot blame Continental on this though, the blame lies squarely with Tesla on this one, if the damn thing wasn't so fun to drive then we would have much more meat on the tires!

Spacers with this set up?

If treadwear maximization is your thing, i.e. maximum miles per set of tires, then consider either the existing Tesla OEM 19” Michelin Primacy MXM4 or even the Pirelli Cinturato.

That said, I keep hearing good things about Continentals and may well try a set if there’s no appreciable benefit from the Pirellis over the Michelins - both in terms of longevity and particularly in terms of noisiness during the last third of their lives.

I had the stock set of contis (19's) on my P3D-, they only lasted 20k miles and were super noisy toward the end
