    Yes, the ride on the 20" Michelin A/S 3+ is slightly softer over bumps than the 21" Uberturbines with its lower-profile tires, not a huge difference but a noticeable one. I've read a post somewhere where a person noted a droning sound at highway speeds with the Michelins but I haven't noticed that with these tires.

    I am thinking about getting the same wheels, except in gray for my Gray MY PUP, and I’m wondering if you gained range when you swapped stock for the TSS’s?

    I just got the new wheels and haven't had a chance to drive enough for a comparison yet. Will post when I do.

    Anyone know if the 19” Model 3 T-Sport TSS Flow Forged wheels will fit comfortably on a Model Y non performance?

    The long of it....

    Got an AWD Model 3. Took aero wheels off and put winter tires on them. Then got the 19” TSS Flows for summer duty. Love it. I’m happy. We just ordered a Model Y AWD with the black 20” wheels. I’m considering using those stock wheels for Summer and putting my Model 3 TSS wheels with snow tires for the winter duty on the Y. I’d then get the referral Model 3 wheels for Summer 3 duty as I love them.

    Thoughts?

    thanks!!!

    @phantasms They will physically fit, but they're not load rated to hold the weight (which is probably why @Tsportline) made a 19x9.5 to match the factory dimension of the stock 19" Gemini wheel.

    You're correct, the Model 3 19x8.5" TSS's are load rated at 1500 lbs, and the Model Y 19x19.5" TSS's are load rated at 1980 lbs. Interestingly enough the TST rims in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for the Model 3 and Model Y, respectively, are both load rated at 1980 lbs. I have a set of TST knockoffs (sorry couldn't stand the tramp stamp) on my Model 3 and was trying to see if they'd work on the Y. From a load rating perspective, they seem fine, but they'll be inset just a tad going from 9.5 to 8.5" rims.

    If Tesla can get the same load rating in a narrower tire/rim, why did they make the Model Y's rims wider? Tesla usually runs narrow tires for the rim (IMHO, I personally loathe the 'stretched' tire look) yet they upped the rim width for the Model Y, but the load ratings are the same. I would think they'd try to avoid that to keep narrower tires, meaning less rolling resistance/aero drag and therefore better range. I feel like I'm missing something, as this decision in that context doesn't make sense.

    Has anyone used EVWheel Direct 20" Turbine Wheels for Model Y? Thoughts? Want to have a second set of cooler wheels, aside from the 19" geminis. Though I would pair it with Pilot Sport 3s 255/40/20s. Sounds like I'll need to get sensors from tesla...

    No I went with TSportline 20" combo. I haven't used them yet though, but I'm putting them on in the spring!
