Model Y LR Induction Wheel Over Speedbumps

[SpartanLife]

I live in a town with a lot of speedbumps in the residential areas. I am looking to buy a Model Y LR. Trying to decide on tires. What are the Induction wheels like on speedbumps?

Like any other car’s wheel/tire combo as long as you slow down before going over them. As long as you slow down, the suspension is at play more than rubber on the road. I find the new MY comfort suspension handles speed bumps just fine.

Thanks Scott! What wheels do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

I have a 2021 MYLR w/ Inductions. No issues with speed bumps.

The suspension is firm enough that it isn't bouncy over them.

Awesome! Thanks

Strange concern. I think the amount of time I spend driving over speed bumps is about .1%.

I go months without seeing one.

Lucky. My workplace has approximately a gazillion of them.

Well, that makes more sense then.

I have a 2020 MY with inductions. I would describe the ride as Firm.. Plenty of times I think should I have gotten the 19 wheels. I wanted the look of the induction so that won at order time. Speed bumps really don’t matter, you’re going to want/need to go over them, slowly either wheel. If a Firm ride/road feel is what you want or are accepting to, then induction it is. If you want the better comfort and don’t mind the looks, go with the. 19s.

Thanks, really appreciate the insight.

With comfort suspension and correct tire pressure, the inductions are fine. The 21" ubertines are challenging, however.

You’re welcome! 20” Inductions with factory rubber on a ‘23 MYLR.

Thanks again!

Hi Scott, did you ever contemplate getting the 19" over the 20" and what made you go with the 20"? I have a '23 on order with the 19" but I really think the 20" looks a lot better. My only concern is ride quality. I'm coming from a 2018 Model 3 with the stock wheels and it's a pretty rough ride and I want to get away from that but the new Model Y has the comfort suspension so maybe it'll be OK? I'd appreciate any insight!

I have a 2021 MYLR with 19" tires. Went to test drive another 2021 MYLR tesla with 20" induction. I could not tell the difference. Even drove through rough roads. Felt the same as my 19" rims. Hence, why I am switching to the 20" induction rims =)

Interesting, what makes you say the 21" Ubertines are challenging?

I don't about @whydontwe , but I curbed my 21"s.
