Did you notice any meaningful range decrease with the wider tires?I purchased 295/35/21’s for the rears and put the 275’s on the fronts. Provides extra sidewall protection given the stock oem 255/275 setup is way too stretched as it is. Ours came last month with Michelin AS anyway so bought the exact same tire in 295.
Added advantage is .5” of extra rubber front and back plus I run them at 39psi. Voila. Rides even better than stock 19” even

I’d have to say minor. Maybe 2-3% tbhonest.
Truly hard to tell as it’s subjective based on driving habit, ext temp, road conditions etc
I havnt had much data to go on prior to the new tire config.
But the kw/hr didnt change that much at all.
The comfort of the new setup is worth every bit plus the safety of tirewalls providing some level of protection.

Based on on-line reviews, it seems the German and European drivers of the PMY haven’t complained about the PMY suspension tuning. But I’m dumping the 21s for some 18s from TSportLine. Afraid of curb rash and pot hole damage. IL roads are like Afghanistan

Ride quality is actually smoother given the extra .5” of rubber on front and back. The steering seems a bit tighter I suppose…a more planted feel? (275 at front vs 255)
Quietness is same as oem stock…no difference.

That and some extra ride comfort yes.
And I find the extra rear width a better aggressive stance for the P version. The oem tires are simply too stretched on these rims. They look a bit odd to me. Tbh a 265/285 would be the perfect set up but the tires don’t come in this config.
I also now have some spare front 255’s incase of any tire damage or repairs needed.
So can I put the same tire size on all four tires on the 21 inch Uber turbines or do they have to be staggered

You can in theory. But the rears are 10.5” width and the fronts are 9.5” rim width. If you decide to go 275 all around for instance, you can never rotate front to back rims. Only the tires.
Could get expensive to keep shifting the tires off one rim to another.
It’s a stagger’d set so not meant for square setup.
Source? I believe that you can square up the 21" Uberturbine wheels using the 10.5" width rear wheels with no fitment issue at the front. In fact it is the front wheels that do not have the proper weight rating to be used safely at the rear.

OE 19" Gemini wheel offset: +45I’d check offset. Could work
OE 20" Induction wheel offset: +45
OE 21" Uberturbine wheel (front) offset: +40; OE 21" Uberturbine wheel (rear) offset: +48

285's or 295's for MYP at front and back/square set up
Anyone has 285's or 295's on 19 or 20" wheels for MYP at front and back/square set up? We all know that, stock set up on MYP with 255 35 21 Front, 275 35 21 rear, overall diameter will be 712mm at front and 726mm for rear tires. Reading through multiple threads, following are my observations...

Some threads seem to suggest a square with 20” at the most a 38 offset on a 10” rim much less 10.5.
I’d love to know if front can accommodate 10.5 oem 45 offset. Any tire wider than 275 at 21” will rub though. Squaring up 10.5 and putting 275/35/21 on a 10.5 will again result in the stretched look front while normal look at rear. Just sayin…You shouldn't compare the rim width and offset specs and limits of the 20" wheel with the 21" wheel. There are plenty of examples of LRMY owners who have squared up the 21" Uberturbine 10.5" wide wheels that come as the rear wheels of the Performance Model Y with the OE 275/35R-21 tires with no fitment issue at the front wheel location. (If you do this with the OE 21" Uberturbine 9.5" wheels from the front of the Performance Model Y the front wheels and tires do not meet the minimum weight rating for the rear wheels/tires on the Performance Model Y.)Source? Would be great if they do.

I don’t understand why people even want to square up the wheels on a MYP if keeping uberturbines (and not going aftermarket or to induction/gemini). You would have to buy 2 extra back 10.5” wheels to match at $400+ each AND buy the bigger more expensive tires to match. Plus you are going to end up with more road debris flung up onto your car from the wider set up front. Who cares about rotating them front to back to get a more even wear. Just replace rears when necessary. Have dealt with this on so many performance cars over the past 20 years. It’s not a big deal. (From
Experience) ultra wide tires up front are annoying to drive with on city streets anyway. They grab every road imperfection or crack, make the car dart around more and rub occasionally. The added cost and hassle would take years to even break.
