Hi folks!
I’m new here, owning TM3P 2021 for 2 weeks. I’ve planned to use TM3 as my daily but since Uberturbine 20” 9” width are badly paired with 235 tires I have to fix it somehow. As some of you - so I join existing thread.
What can we do with wheels of TM3P 2021?
- accept them. Since I scratched my first rim seriously on the way back from dealership after picking up new car
its matter of time I have next rims asking for new paint.
- swap tires to 245-255 on 20” rims. The cheapest option. It could affect a range, but what I see from different sites, rim size on same wheel diameter has biggest impact for energy economy. So the taller sides tire has, the better range is - which means 255 tires could be similar to 235 stretched on 9” rim. There could be an negative impact of higher car. I bet Tesla is using tyre rotation to measure the mileage driven, not GPS, so the real range after swapping tires 235 -> 255 could be 2% bigger than odometer shows
- swap rims to 8-8,5“ wide 20” rims - reasonable since used rims gets good prices but used tires not
- Or swapping wheels and tires to 19” - which would be probably the best for range and comfort
@Arctic blue, your pictures looks great. What about consumption/range? Can you share your numbers after the swap? I guess I’m not the only one waiting for them
