Michelin 255 45 zr 19 PS4 AS to small?

[Loves]

I recently got these tires and they look to small for the time. Michelin 255 45 zr 19 PS4 AS. Has anyone else experiencing this on their MYLR with Gemini rims?

Those are the correct oem size but I do think they look too small too. Some tire installers won’t install them, but you can go with a bit larger 19” tire.

Here's those same tires on my aftermarket 19s. What do you mean by "too small?"

It's hard to tell from the pictures the the side of the tire look lits rounded, apposed to a flat look compared to the stock

I did my install at Costco, they didn't say anything to me about it. I couldn't tell last night when I picked up the car at 8pm.

Looking sharp, if only it was warm temps here in NYC.

Unfortunately that is just how they look. They should be wider IMO since you can see the wheel lip stick out.

Yea agreed. Would a larger tire fit like 265?

265/45r19 or 275r19 will fit just fine.

Turned out great! Feels good to not worry about every little bump with FSD on.

Oh, so we're talking about width. I wasn't sure what "too small" meant.

For what it's worth, mine are more flush on the side what the Geminis appear to be.

Yes the first number is width (265) and the second number is sidewall (45) and third is obviously the wheel diameter size (19). Use the tire size calculator to see what will fit. I wouldn't go more than 29" overall height of tire.

Here is a handy tool. Plug the stock size in and then plug the new tire size in.

Wheel Offset Calculator

Use our wheel offset calculator to visualize the new tire position when changing wheel and tire sizes. Convert wheel offset and backspacing to calculate the correct setup for your vehicle.

Wider is fine like I said, up to probably 275. However if you increase both width and sidewall vs stock numbers, it will likely be too big. I would suggest seeing what tires you can find that are available, then also googling to see if others have put those sizes on their Y. "265/45r19 model Y" etc.
