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.

Heres a set of AG M610s in 20x9/10 we did for our customers Model Y Performance with 255/285 P Zero tires!
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.
Just got my Vorsteiner VFF-107 in Carbon Graphite put on. Loving how these looks on the Y. Fronts are 20x9 and rears and 20x10.5.
Would be cool if someone made a center cap that was flush with the wheel face, as opposed to being sunken in.
How does the square setup impact any accelaration? I think it looks like you are using the Model Y Performance right? I really want to be able to rotate tires and even possibly go to a all season A3+ etc rather than daily drive on the MP4S.
Is that Tesla Blue , how did you get Plastic Lip around Wheel Blue like paint ?
thanks

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