Martian Wheels MW03

[Tanis]

I bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season Plus. But it looks to be a diffrent tyre in Europe. You have the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, which is a very good tyre.

 

[TonyJag]

Yes I'm running in SS. Had the tire pressures around 40psi hot. Think I will try a bit lower pressure at next event. Still waiting for my Eibach rear sway bar to arrive.

Nice. Did you find Track Mode and TPMS readouts helpful?

 

[kailm]

Any one have 0-60 timings for the 18x7.5 rims on a performance with 1 foot rollout?

 

[TonyJag]

Most major on-line tire companies like Tire Rack, Discount tire, etc. allow you to set up a comparison chart among up to 3 alternatives, but they don't include rolling resistance. During a chat with Michelin, they were able to quantify "Fuel Efficiency", so I used their data to make the following table for the Michelin tires under consideration. Unfortunately, all four have a Fuel Efficiency" of 9 and there is only one significant digit. Somewhere in this thread (cdrikari?), the cross climate, which BTW has the best Average Score, was said to have more rolling resistance than the MXM4. So I think we know more about Michelin Tire performance than they do!

Why are the MXM4 so expensive?

Tony-

I may have missed something you said earlier, but is there a reason why you're looking only at Michelins? (or am I wrong with that assumption?)

I am also looking at Pirellis. I just wanted to share the data I got from Michelin.

Makes no sense that the A/S 3+ would be worse than the MXM4

Replaced by 20” wheels with MW03 19” wheels. I’ve got a few miles on them now and it’s a definite improvement over the factory wheels. The ride a noticeably better.

Nice, black on red!

Mine were installed yesterday. 245/45R18 fits perfectly, they fill the wheel wells realy nice, offset is also perfect.

First impressions are positive, much better ride comfort, handling is good, also at high speed, tyres are quieter as well.

Tanis-

what offset did you get? +28?

 

[Tanis]

Yes, +28. I understood that they now changed that to +35. Good that I placed an early order!

 

[dwolvin]

So, the newer wheels stick out .13 less? (I don't know why, but the geometry kicks my behind here)

 

[Danny Brown]

I believe it’s in Millimeters. 7mm difference (28 vs 35 offset) is about 1/3-inch.

I intentionally went 35mm to keep the aerodynamics the same as stock. But those 1/3 wider ET28’s look really nice on the pics shown here.

Anybody know of a discount code that's still active? Also, did you guys go with the sensors from martian or go with something else?

Works on 3/Y

Ordered these for around $73

They have worked fine for me and its my second set of them. The stem is silver but they do make a black one just more expensive.

FYI....The TPMS sensors for the M3 are not compatible with the MY. The TPMS sensors for the MY are now bluetooth and, at this point, are only available directly from Tesla for $75 each.

This is a bummer.

And yes that is true dont know why the code got cut off meant to say code works for 3 and Y.
