Model X Winter Tires

[FirstInTown]

I have exactly the same issue except worse. I sold my 2017X and bought a 2024X. I had converted both my summer and winter tires to 19 inch OEM Tesla Cyclone. I am shocked to hear they do not fit. I was planning on using them on the new car. Did you do a trial fit? Also an outfit called Sportline sells 19 Tesla Model X rims that they claim fit the newer Model X. Let me know if you have learned anything else. TSS 19" Tesla Model X Long Range & Plaid Wheel (Set of 4)

My 19" Tempest JUST rubbed on the brakes. Maybe a spacer shim a couple mm out and they would have cleared? I can see how a slightly different design would work and TSport Line must be just different enough to clear. BUT they are a very open design. If you use 19s for effeciency gain, an open design has terrible aero and that will hurt range. If your reason for 19s is ride quality or other reason, then you might not care.

Thanks I use the 19 inch for tire mileage and no wheel bending or curb rash, the tire sticks out past the rim. A square setup can be rotated. On the 2017 the 19 inch were OEM Tesla for Model X that used to be sold on the Tesla website.

For Cyclones, yes. Is your new X Plaid? The brake caliper size on the Plaid is bigger. Cyclones + Plaid didn't fit (the wheels didn't clear the brakes). Some people in Japan say Cyclones + LR fit, but I have no personal experience.

My 2024 model X is not a plaid. I guess I should try to see if the old cyclone wheels fit. Thanks for the information.

I looked at the Tesla Model X refresh parts catalog and it only shows one set of brakes. IE Plaid an non plaid have the same brakes, Parts Catalog

Oh, maybe it's my misunderstanding. Please let me know if the Cyclones fit with your X! I already bought another set of OEM 20-inch wheels.

The parts catalog shows different part numbers for Black and Red calipers but the pads are the same. That makes me think the calipers are the same.

I did a trial fit today. The 19 inch Tesla OEM rims supplied a few years back with snow tires will not clear the front brake caliper on a refresh Model X.

I have the previous WR G3 SUV and they are great winter tires, these G4 are probably better still.

Has anyone had experience installing winter wheels from the new MX 2022 on an MX 2016-21? I am confused by the different parameters of the rims: 20X9J ET40/20X10J ET35 for the latest MX and 20X9.0J ET35/20X9.5J ET40 for the first generation MX.

Latest gen just got a little fatter in the rear from 9.5” to 10”.

Offsets (+35/40) are irrelevant as far as tires go, it’s just how far out from the wheel hub the rim will sit.

Any tire that will fit the old X will fit the new X. All tires have an acceptable rim width range.

Example attached of the rear (275/45/20) Continental tires on my refresh X that have a 2” range of acceptable rims.
