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!

Yeah myp with those tire sizes never rub. Dont see how 1 inch lower would make it not rub. Perhaps the turn radius is more on none p??

That's why I went for 285.35.20 all round no problems when lowered as it naturally adds negative camber all round.

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.

Confirm that they didn’t put your wider 10.5 x 21” wheels on the front! I don’t trust too many wheel shops. The installed may have mounted the 265/40r21 tire on the rear wheels thinking all of your rims were the same? Other than that I have no idea because my 265/40’s have never rubbed and I have hit so many many whoops and uneven dips at speed and never came close to a rub.

I've read through this entire thread (and as many other threads here and elsewhere that I could find), and I'm still not totally clear...

I have a one-month old MYP that arrived with Pirelli P-Zero PZ4s on the stock UberTurbine 21" wheels (photos attached). But...I live in New England. Yeah, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s...which seem to be on a lot of new MYPs...since in New England, sometimes, it SNOWS. I would very much like to swap in the Michelins, as well as up-size to help with curb rash and pothole handling.

Can anyone confirm that 275/40/21 and 295/40/21 front/rear Pilot Sport All Season 4s *without* spacers will be okay? If not, will 265/40/21 fronts fit *and* make a difference? Likewise 285/40/21 rears? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I have 265/40R21s on the front and 295/35R21s on the rears. I could see going slightly taller on the rears but would be extraordinarily hesitate to go any larger on the fronts. Good luck.

Thank you for your response. Any spacers anywhere?

None whatsoever.

 

[maozer]

No issue going with 275 & 295 set up for the 21” with 1” drop. Only issue is if you use spacers greater than 15mm, you’ll start rubbing going through dips at fast speed (freeway) and going in/out of ramps.

Are you running Eibach springs and 15mm spacer in the front?

 

[KenMast3rs]

Are you running Eibach springs and 15mm spacer in the front?

Yes

 

[BillyG2022MYP]

Go 265/40R21 front and 295/40R21 rear for a guaranteed fit with zero rubbing.

Would 295/40’s in rear rub with 15mm spacers?

 

[MJP.P3D-]

Would 295/40’s in rear rub with 15mm spacers?

From what others have posted, 295/40s should fit however I have no personal experience with this spec or with spacers. FWIW, and purely in my opinion, once the “proper” tire spec has been fitted, I don’t think you’ll need spacers. Good luck.

 

[akballow]

The rim, also known as wheel, is responsible for offset. Wider tire might be slightly more offset then the rim. Even the 295 wide rears are only slightly more offset from the rim. You need new rims or spacers if you want the actual rim to be further out or into the wheel well.

Go 265/40R21 front and 295/40R21 rear for a guaranteed fit with zero rubbing.

Thank you. No spacers, correct? Crossing my fingers and ordering!

Nope and no need to cross fingers it has been verified many many times now

Looks good. Where did you get them done at in DE?

I think it’s more letting the car know it has a few more mm of tread/hight. If only it would allow custom setting the tire sizes used

I have been wondering this myself.

I plan on doing 275/35/21 front and 295/35/21 in the rear.

Did you go with 275/35/21 front and 295/35/21 in the rear? If so, how do you like them?
