No one know why Tesla states that the 19" and 20" winter tire and wheel packages are not compatible with the Performance Model Y. There are many Performance Model Y owners who have put the 19" Gemini and 20" Induction wheels on the Performance Model Y with no fitment issues. It may be that Tesla (their legal department) is concerned about liability because the winter tires in the package only carry a V speed rating (149 MPH) and the Performance Model Y's top speed is 155 MPH.Are you sure you can use gemini on the performance model y? Im not sure about that. It says on tesla's website "Note: This package is not compatible with Model Y Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configured with 21" Performance Wheels. "
If you can find them. The lack of any all-season or winter tires to fit the 21" wheels that come on the Performance Model Y is what has been driving all of these Performance Model Y all-season and winter tire threads.Also, if I decided to stick with my 21" wheels, would it be pretty easy to swap off the Pirelli tires for a winter tire rather than getting new wheels?
Any change in TPMS on the gemini/inductions? or can I use existing?No one know why Tesla states that the 19" and 20" winter tire and wheel packages are not compatible with the Performance Model Y.

You can use the TPMS sensors that came with the 21" wheels on the Performance Model Y with either 19" or 20" wheels. The TPMS sensors for the Model Y (latest Model 3) are BT type sensors, not interchangeable with older Tesla TPMS sensors.Any change in TPMS on the gemini/inductions? or can I use existing?
If only they weren't out of stock :'(
Great info !Did you get the 235/45/19 for the fronts and 255/45/19's for the rear or both were 255's. Curious why the Hakka's as well.I got the tires from a tire shop in Salt Lake City. You're right that Tirerack doesn't carry them, but I bet if you called some local shops in your area you could scare some up. I got the 255/45/19 104T Hakkapelitta R3 which are XL rated (up to 2000 lb). Hope the info helps, and hope you can find a set nearby. For what it's worth, I paid $270/tire + mount and balance.

Understood, thanks for the quick response, and Good luck with your MYP. You will love it ! I have the other side of problem.. Have the vehicle with Summer tires on and its Snow on the ground.. Cannot find wheel or tires. Anywhere. The Replikas are sold out. Cannot find winter tires either . I dont want to go the TSportline route if i dont have to.. they are expensive.I went 255 all the way around which helps with rotation too. I've had many snow tires over the years, but Hakkas and Blizzaks are my favorites. Hakkas work especially good on ice.
All that being said, I still don't have my car so the tires and wheels are sitting on a shelf in SLC waiting for my car. With my luck it'll be spring before it gets here!

Question- Should I get the Blizzaks WS90- 245/ 45/ 19's all around rated at Load Index 98, OR the Michelin XIce Snow- 245/ 45/ 19XL's; load index 102.
Will the above tire sizes and ratings work? From what i understand Load rating 104 is needed for these vehicles..
Thanks after spending hours trying to find anything at all. No luck. I guess i will have to wait. Question- Will 265/40/ R21's fit the front tires on the ModelYP ? I can possibly find the rear ones in spec 275/35/21's . If i were to get this combo will it be weird..Ahhhh.. Bummer about tire availability. I heard it was going to be a tough year to find them.
I've heard really good things about the X-Ice snow tires, so that'd be my bet. I do know from experience that thinner tires generally work better in deep snow, so while they won't look as cool you may find they provide better performance. Regardless, anything is better than slipping around on the factory Pirellis!
Regarding the load rating, the X-Ice is an XL rated tire with a load rating of 102 (1874 per tire) versus the 104 rating for the Nokians that I got (2000 per tire).. but I think they'd be fine. The Max GVW for the MY is 5302 lbs with a rear axle weight bias (3607 lbs on 19" wheels) so you'd need a 1803.5 lb load rated tire minimum for the rears. Just don't tow a big trailer full of rocks!

or would a Square setup with 265/40/21's with Hakka's R3 SUV be ok on OEM wheels, XL rated to 105Thanks after spending hours trying to find anything at all. No luck. I guess i will have to wait.
