I note there are CC2 in both car and SUV versions with slightly different specs. Any difference on how far the rims poke out?

you want that "SUV" version which is XL (for extra load)I note there are CC2 in both car and SUV versions with slightly different specs. Any difference on how far the rims poke out?
Not sure, but I’m on the SUV version and there is a bit of poke, although this does seem to have got better over the last 5k milesI note there are CC2 in both car and SUV versions with slightly different specs. Any difference on how far the rims poke out?

The H speed rating is technically slightly too low for the top speed of the car. Some say that lower speed ratings could invalidate insurance but I’ve never directly heard of that happening. You can’t legally drive at such speeds in the UK so I’m not sure if it’s really an issue.Agreed about the two versions, I'm puzzled

Apart from the very obvious price difference, the non-SUV version has a better speed index of V instead of H, which would be closer to the factory 'Y' for summer tyres. They are both XL for reinforced extra-load...
Any differences on fitment?
I am aware and raised this on this thread before. I am more curious about the existence of a CC2 vs. a CC2 SUV version and which one would be better indicated for our MYs, and if there is a difference on the protruding Gemini rims as reported with CC2 before. Also, one could wonder why the better speed index is cheaper and not the opposite...The H speed rating is technically slightly too low for the top speed of the car.

Not just Germany, Spain also enforces tyre ratings against the Certificate of Conformity.As others have said the max speed is lower on the SUV and lower than the Model Y rating so but I think that would only cause a problem if going to Germany

MYLR has a manufacturer top speed rating of 135mph (https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/modely) so that means at least a V index.So you’re not allowed to drive in Germany or Spain if the tyres don’t match the OEM’s specs exactly?
That doesn’t matter in Germany/Spain. It is what the manufacturer certified the vehicle with.MYLR has a manufacturer top speed rating of 135mph (https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/modely) so that means at least a V index.
H is 130mph max.
Not sure. You certainly wouldn’t pass their equivalent of our MOT without tyres that match (or I assume exceed) the certificate on conformity.So you’re not allowed to drive in Germany or Spain if the tyres don’t match the OEM’s specs exactly?
Having access to the EU CoC, I can confirm it's with a W index even for the LR in both 19" and 20" configuration.That doesn’t matter in Germany/Spain. It is what the manufacturer certified the vehicle with.

Good to know. How do they fit with respect to the rim? Probably not a deal breaker but the MY does seem to have a pronounced lipI have had cross climates on my Model 3 and got Quatrac Pros on my Y. They worked wonders in the snow and ice we had down south last winter and have been lovely in the summer heat. I went for the Quatrac pros this time as they rated higher in water vs the others which is more typical than snow in the south east. When I come to replace this set, it will be with more Quatrac Pros. FWIW, we also out them on my wife’s Leaf and they performed just as well on that 2WD vehicle.
It's just that the Conti are fairly recent, I mentioned them on the previous page of this thread.I'm starting to look at tyres as my originals are not far off the end of life and getting ready for winter (you tell its tipping down outside!).
Michelin Cross Climates are mentioned a lot in this thread, whereas a google came up with Continental All Season Contact which are available and well reviewed. Was there any reason why the Contis are bring overlooked?
I don't intend to swap summer and winter tyres, they'd be in the car until they need changing.
Camskill and blackcirles between them list the following options:
Goodyear Vector 4 season gen3 suv
Conti all season
Mich CC2 (in Volvo spec)
Vredstien quatrac pro
Can't see the pirelli's listed anyway so far
Any to rule out? I'm thinking conti because I'm not a fan of the Mich gap/owverhang where it joins the rim
