Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on Uberturbines- 265/35 & 275/35R21

[thesmokingman]

This probably isn’t quite the thread to ask, but it sort of is..

For those that have wheel rub from running a wider tire, have you considered spacers? I’m considering it in the event I have some wheel rub.

And they’d be the minimum or smallest I can find. Nothing crazy.

Thoughts?

You can get slim spacers on Amazon for example as thin as 3mm. I linked some earlier but you can search for them on Amazon easily and they are cheap.

Check out this Amazon review of StanceMagic - 2pcs 3mm Hubcentric 5x4.5 Wheel Spacers (5x114.3, 70.5mm Bore) Compatible with Mustang Edge Crown Victoria Ranger Explorer Town Car Mountaineer B2500 B3000 B4000 Aviator Edge Mark 7

this is an exact fit for tesla model 3 performance

Currently getting my HV battery pack replaced. Yes, the battery pack on my 2 month old MYP.

Don't leave us hanging, lol...

Haha, just baiting..

So I had a clunk whenever the suspension was loaded off axis. Not all the time, but in weird, moving slowly circumstances.

Long story short, it took SC eight hours to find sound. Top metal plate on HV battery was buldging and then Making that metal sound when it bends/pops back.

They spent time testing it, pressurizing it, all to the conclusion it will be replaced.

Had the Michelin A/S 4s mounted last night, 265/285/40/21, these are the tires that should have came on the car. The stock difficulties are frustrating... No rubbing for me, we tried to mimick what others have said cause rubbing and was not able to replicate. This was with around 180lbs in driver seat, 220 in the passenger seat, and 140lbs on both sides in the rear.

The cars suspension is still firm, however the tires take away a bit of the harshness on poor roads.

For those with the Walmart issue, I ran into the same thing where they initially could not scan the tires in for return due to item not found. They were able to process it eventually after a manager came out and entered the return differently.

I ended up getting the fronts from discount tire direct, found a pair of rears on ebay, new. Good luck all. Find a solution to not run summer tires in the winter. It's dangerous, don't risk it.

Guys and gals,

275 35 21 front and 295 35 21 rear are the way to go. No reason to do 265 40 front.

Correct

Looks great, I don’t think I’ve seen 275/35/21 fronts fitted, only 275/40/20. Glad to know there’s another option for the future, thanks for sharing!

how do they feel?

also how are people with the same vehicle reporting rubbing while people are running even bigger tires and its perfectly fine?

They feel perfect, a little softer compared to the summer performance tires but zero robbing and no increase in noise. Plus I have the added satisfaction of knowing that the rim is slightly better protected.

yeah they are def softer than the stock pzeros, how much PSI are you running?

What’s the benefit of 275 over 265 on the front? I consider myself a smart guy but tire sizes leave me befuddled every time I try to understand them.

275s are wider so i guess the idea is that theres more protection for the rim, also better dry grip

Yes. Also 275 35 is much closer to oem diameter than 265 40

This seems like the way to go. Did you go to Discount Tire for these? When I try and order it asks for a valid car before putting them in and of course it does not see a 2022 MYP as a valid car.

Just do 2021

 

[majorgearhead]

Just do 2021

Sorry I should have been more specific, I did do 2021 MYP, the issue is that technically 295/35R21's on the front and 295/35R21's on the back are not OEM sizes and so Discount Tire, trying to be helpful will not allow me to order these sizes for my car, and I do not see a way to order tires without associating them to a car.

 

[MJP.P3D-]

Use a 2021 Porsche Macan Turbo.

Same thing happened to me and @Canyonero, had to call Discount Tire and order them over the phone, they’ll let you do it that way.
