hi guys
Planning a road trip so would be nice to have a spare tire with me. I have a MY LR AWD with 19" Gemini wheelset. I did some digging and some members here use the Model 3 Aero 18" wheel on their MY LR AWD (not performance model) with no issues.
So I end up picking up a used M3 18" aero single wheel for a backup spare tire. Got it for cheap from Ebay.
I install the single 18" on the rear passenger side today, just to test it out. Make sure everything is good go go before my trip. Fit nicely and no issues. I drove 5 miles on the street and another 15 miles on the freeway. While driving, I noticed I can't use AP. It would engage and disengage within a few second. Screen will tell you to adjust your speed and all kind of warning will pop on so I stop trying. I also noticed RE-GEN not working properly. As in, car don't want to slow down. I had to use my brake more often. I can feel the car having a little issues with braking.
Once I got home and park. I can smell the 18" wheel burning up a little. Once you touch the wheel, rotor, lug nuts, all of them are pretty "HOT". My other 19" is nice and cool.
What do you guys think it is? safe to drive? maybe for a few miles?
my guess, maybe set the RE-GEN to low instead of normal. I have no clue why the 18" wheel is so HOT. Feel liked that wheel is trying so hard to RE-GEN and slow down. Working a little extra for braking....
TIA. Really appreciate if someone can explain to me whats going on before my road trip next month. THX!
