Are the stock tires on the performance with performance upgrade safe to drive on if it is 40 or below 40?
I went with Tsportline 18s. The only place the clearance is super tight is the top edge of the rear caliper, and it still has at least 1/4". We don't get a ton of snow here usually, so that should be fine for me. If you live somewhere with a ton of snow all the time you might want to opt for 19s for a bit more clearance for snow to pack inside the barrel.Looking into options for winter tires on a p3d+
Tsportline said the 19” winter tire package would definitely work with the p3d+, looks like 3100 , and maybe shipping and mounting costs. Not sure about shipping.
Tesla said they are getting a 20” winter tire package in, would be roughly 5k. That’s 2k more than the 19s, but could have the service center put them on, they would be Oem kind of thing. Currently unavailable anyway, kind of link the tsportline.
Hard choices!
From email exchange:Are the tsportline TPMS sensors OEM?
TSportline said:We use factory Tesla TPMS
Did you get these through Tirerack?Received my winter set today. Flow one F3 19” with Blizzaks. Won’t be able to test fit until this weekend though. They use a hub centric ring that’s thinner than the bored out grove in the wheel and sits down into the wheel...leaving ~3.3 MM to accomodate the lip on the hub...whether its actually deep enough, I’ll find out this weekend.
Only thing is the wheels are 9” wide. With 235’s there is bit more stretch than I’m used to. Could run 245’s but narrower is better for snow. Depending on how they grow on me once mounted I may or may not switch to 245’s next go round. Blizzak has a narrower tire than most which doesnt help as well. Maybe a wider 235 winter tire like Michelin’s or Pirelli’s might not have as much stretch.

I seem to have a different experience than others who have done the same swap. I find the tires to be much stiffer, this is more noticeable on roads that aren’t smooth. It’s so bad in fact, the car will vibrate and I can hear the windows/doors way more on each side of the car as they resonate with the road. There is noticeable more road howl as well, especially at higher speeds (70mph+).
Dry traction is excellent, got some light rain last night and they did well. I just got them put on yesterday and those things I mentioned earlier were instant noticeable, these are the only all-season for the 20” rims I could find on tire rack, so I’m stuck with them unless I don’t want to drive the car as the temps go down, or I can get a different set and do the whole seasonal tire/rim swap, which I don’t want to do again.
If anyone else gets the AS3+ mounted on the 20” rims, share your experiences. It really made the car overall less enjoyable for me, especially the increased vibration/noise inside the cabin. Not a fan of how I can hear noise coming from the vibrating doors/windows on each side of the car now.
Interesting read, thanks! I was aware of the foam in the tires, which the AS3+ do not have from tire rack, but I did not expect the difference to be as noticeable as it is. My 4S were set to 45PSI, these are at the appropriate 42PSI. I’ll continue driving on them as there’s not many other options and report if it gets better or worse.You might be interested in this post: There’s Some Secret Tech Lurking In The Tesla Model 3 - Tesla Motors Club
Yeah, that's what it should be! I was just noting that my 4S were higher, yet the AS3+ felt stiffer.My 4Ss are at 42 PSI as recommended on my sticker for reference.
You mean the 19s for a P3D+?So the Tesla service center in Westmont, IL ordered me the sport rims with the pirelli winter tires and said that is what they recommend . They haven't come in yet though.
I have a RWD Model 3 with 18" Aeros. I am looking for the Nokians - either R2 or R3s. Was going to put them on my current rims and then get new rims for the spring later on. My question is, where do you guys order them from? I can't seem to find them. I would prefer to pick them up locally but beggars can't be choosers. I am in NY Metro area. Thanks.
