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

[mmatlock]

I just ordered Michelin Pilot A/S 4s for my MYP (which I don't have a VIN for yet...) at 265/40/21 and 295/40/21 from Discount Tire Direct and Discount Tire respectively. I'm taking a bit of a gamble on the backs at 295/40 but there was literally nothing else out there so why not. My concern is that the backs might rub with a heavy load in the trunk as others have hinted at. My other driver is a truck so I'm not really going to be doing too much heavy loading on the MYP, and the extra rubber should help against the garbage Seattle streets.

Glad you found some, sounds like all sizes are in short reply. Let us know how the rear 295/40s go, anxious to hear. @Canyonero when are your Contis getting fitted?

Good luck! Please post pics of the instal when available...

Still waiting on the fronts to come in, should be any day now. Might call today to check.

I can’t remember who all needs to return the incorrect size Michelin AS4s to Walmart (@Canyonero @MrJulian ?) but I was finally successful on my fourth trip to the store today. Customer Service summoned an OGP who walked me back to the tire center. No combination of established return workflows worked, it just kept saying item not found. Eventually they just initiated an override, manually scanned the two incorrect tires, overwrote the current price (cheaper) with the price I paid online and sent the credit amount to my credit card. It cost me eight hours of my life and $4 in sales tax difference, they just said sorry. What a cluster.

Got my Contis installed today. The car is new to me and so are the tires so I can’t really do a ride comparison or anything. I will say the look incredible. I’m sure they’ll perform well, too. Now I’ve got to sell my OEM shoes.

Looks , can't wait to install that same size in the AS4s on mine. Did you ask Discount Tire if they'd buy your OEM Pirellis?

I did but forgot to get their answer. I’ll just throw them on Facebook.

I've seen a couple posts in a MY group on FB where MYPs are coming with Michelin pilot sport all seasons. If this is a case I'll be so annoyed / happy for future owners. May possibly explain the shortage.

Anyone one else see this anywhere else? Future owners may want to keep a look out..

 

[SweetLou126]

Looks great! Any reason why not 40 in the back?

No particular reason. I've just seen this set up I ordered used by many others and it seems to have worked for them without any issues. Didn't see much info about having 40s on the back.

What the?! That would be very weird to change without mentioning it during the ordering process. I guess that’d be great news and I’ll just sit on the set I bought until it’s time to replace, even though I prefer the wider widths we purchased.
Sent a message to my SA to see if they can offer any insight.

I'd be curious if they put acoustic foam in it, or if they just used off the shelf tires. I'm pretty sure the rolling resistance/weight/noise of the tires are different than the OE tire. (Not that I actually care, I just meant from published figures/expectations regarding range, noise, etc)

I’ve had them with foam and actually prefer without. If the foam isn’t perfectly aligned you can end up with a nearly unfixable vibration at higher speeds. Had 3 different balances and could ever get rid of it until I switched to non foam tires. Really don’t notice any noise difference either in my model x

Foam has nothing to do with the rolling resistance and weight is negligible. Tesla put the foam to reduce the noise.

This could of saved me countless days of research and atleast 1500. This bothers me more than a potential tax rebate lol. It is what it is, would be nice if they allowed current MYP owners who purchased recently to buy the tires from Tesla at a discounted price. My delivery date was Nov 17th.

My MYP was delivered on Friday with the PZero's and 30 day premium - Nov. Build. The AS4's would have been nice but I have a set on order. I might just pick up some rims for the PZeros - swap them during the summer as a second set. This seems to be timed with the last price increases.

Kind of wish they would have gone with the 265s on the front so it didn’t look so stretched in the Reddit photo… but first world problems eh.

 

[tezlam3]

so with the new cars coming with MP A/S... they are officially OEM tires and can be done by tesla! WOOOOOOOOO

I'm not an idiot, I know what the foam is for. Tyre Review on YouTube already showed that the PS4AS is noisier than tires like DWS. And it was shown that both these tires had more rolling resistance than some other tires.

I was saying that the PS4 is already a noisy tire subjectively, so I was curious if Tesla added foam to it, or just used an off the shelf tire, because it would change the perception of the car if people were expecting/comparing to the car's behavior with the OE tire. Many people already mentioned that swapping out the OE tire resulted in a 5-10% loss in range, so that's why i mentioned the weight and rolling resistance.

But like I said, I personally don't care, since I would've swapped out the OE tire for either the DWS or PSAS4 anyways, but others may care.

So, Tesla is heading the right direction by going with the Michelin A/S. Now, change the 21s to 20 Staggered set up with the Michelins!!

I think the range loss is more from people stuffing wider tires onto the wheels.
