Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

[FlyGuyM0delY]

I am trying to determine what the maximum tires size anyone can confirm so far on the MYP. I just swapped over to my winter setup, but will to replace the Pirelli’s come next spring. I am running 20mm spacer in the front and 25mm spacers in the rear.

I would like to run Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s.
Front:
275/40R21
Rear:
285/40R21

I believe I have seen some members post the rear size being okay, but I believe the front might be a little ambitious?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Any chance you have pics, and since its been a while, have you had any rubbing or any issues?

I have reposted a couple of pics. The MICHELIN PS AS4 265/40R21 and 295/40R21 are still riding fine with no rubbing, even under load, nice ride and as quiet as the OEMs. I am very happy with them.

Looks great! How is the ride quality compared to stock tires?

Have a laugh, I reduced wheel size to 20 inch 9.5 All round, 285/35/20 tires. MPP comphy kit set as low as possible, set slightly lower than MMP spec as NE Ohio roads are not too good. Drive some miles to my favorite test road with ridges and patches for about 2 miles. The kids where great the ride was faultless , probably due to the fact the road had been fully resurfaced!!!!!!!!. No seriously the car rides a lot better bumps are they are way better absorbed. Also high speed much less nervous.

On running with The MICHELIN PS AS4 265/40R21 and 295/40R21, the basic ride is a bit smoother but not a massive difference from the summer Pirelli OEMs. However, with the OEMs the smallest pothole was jarring and with the new tires, it is not an issue. I would say the overall dry road handling is similar, wet is of course better with the new all season tires.

What wheels are you running--and which brand tire?

If I move the 275s to the front and add 15mm spacer, do you think that will rub at full turn?

 

[Yperformance]

I have same setup 35 offset with 12 mm spacers I am lowered about 1.5 inch so have some negative camber it works but it's tight

In case you are interested, the stock Pirelli 255/275 tires are in the top photo, and the Michelin all season 275/295 tires are in the bottom photo.

Is the sidewalls 35 or 40 on that setup?

285/35/20. All round on 20 x 9.5 rims .Small mileage hit but feels so much better

Someone asked about 275/40/20 fitment a while back. Here is my set up on Aodhan 20x10.5, +35 offset. Matt bronze wheels with Conti DSW 6+ tires 275/40/20 square set up on MYP. No rubbing or any issues

Hey All, about to take delivery of my model y performance this friday. I have scheduled an appointment with discount tire 2 hrs after my delivery to get the rears swapped to the front and add new tires to the rear. I am guessing my MYP will come with michelin pilot all season 4 tires so thats what I ordered for the rears.

Have there been any issues that folks have seen over thousands of miles with the 275/35r21 fronts and 295/35r21 rears? alignment, rubbing, etc? I have seen dozens of people go this route on here and thats what drove me to choose it. Curious of long term opinions.

Thanks!

The word is it's just fine. I have 285.35.20 with no issues.

Hi guys! I have a MYLR and have swapped my stock rims and tires with the 21” uberturbine set. Have had no problems with it, but now it’s time to replace the tires. I was hoping to do a squared set up like what numerous people have been doing. So I ordered 265/40/21 fronts and 295/35/21 rears. Yesterday, we tried to install the fronts in Discount Tires, and they were rubbing. So I was advised to look for another size. Does anyone have any idea why it seems to work for them (MYP) and it is rubbing on mine (MYLR). Aren’t the wheel wells similar for both models?

MYP is lower? I don't know.. that's my only guess.

That's what I thought too since it should have sports suspension... But wouldn't that also mean that more chances of rubbing compared to MYLR? I am so confused now.

check what the offsets are on the Uberturbines vs the Geminis.
also, see Tyre Size Calculator

…. I was hoping to do a squared set up like what numerous people have been doing. So I ordered 265/40/21 fronts and 295/35/21 rears.…

This statement confuses me—square would mean same wheel/rubber spec on both axles….

Thank you so much for your reply... The Uberturbines are +40 fronts and +48 rears... While the Geminis are +45. Unfortunately, I am so sorry, I don't know what to do with these information. Hope to get some guidance... I just thought I could use the same as what the MYPs use.

Yes you are correct... Sorry, I am just really not that much knowledgeable on the terms and these things. I was actually after the squared look of the tires as compared to Tesla's stretched stock tires. I did not mean square as in same size of wheels and tires for front and back. Thank you for pointing that out.

If you’re considering customizing your ride with new wheels, it’s good to have a basic understanding of wheel offset.
