pics of uberturbines on long range Y?

[S3XY1138]

Can you post front and rear view pictures? I am actually planning to run 25mm all around with the 21”.

Looks good! I’m actually gonna drop mine off this week to powder coat them gloss black.

I'm still waiting for delivery of my MYP but once I drive it home I'm going to take off my Uberturbines and list them for sale...

I’m picking up a set of Gemini’s this week to replace our Uberturbines. Any idea what a brand new perfect set of 21” are worth? In SF and they just ride way to stiff

On these forums they sell around $2500 or so but no more than $3000 for wheel + tire + TPMS. You probably have better luck selling elsewhere if you want to get more for them.

Thanks! Nah, I wasn't thinking of selling for more than that. That's about what I was thinking I'd try to get for them once I got the Gemini's installed.

I pick up my Ubers tomorrow and will post some pics once installed.

New shoes on. Just did the maiden voyage up to the cabin. Handling is noticeably improved and the ride is honestly not too different from the Geminis.

Note that I have 4x Range Rover wheels and tires in the back that likely weigh over 300LB, hence the slight squat look.

I went to American Tires today to replace my 19” Gemini to the Uberturbine 21”. They refused to install it because they said the weight of the long range Y will NOT support the weight limit of the UBERTURBINE stock tires. Any input on these?

That must be some good sh*t they’re smoking. Go somewhere else or call a mobile service that’s comes to your house and installs. Plus your Y allows you on the screen to change to 21”.

Since Tesla repairs are expensive, they don't want the liability. They're just scared that they would do something wrong to the car and giving you some BS reason for it. If you look at the curb weight specs of the two models, you will find that both of them weigh-in at 4555 lbs.

If you have the 21's with TPMS already installed in them, it would take 30 min in my garage with a floor jack and an impact drill. LOL!!!

Looks like you are in Whittier, take them to Salinas Tire and Wheel in La Habra. They're great and will get you in and out in 30 min depending on how busy they are!

Here's a pic of my Uberturbines when it was on stock LR suspension:

Here's the same wheel/tire setup lowered on Eibach springs:

With Uberturbine/Eibach/20mm spacers:

For some reason, the 21" tires seems really stretched. Take caution while parallel parking now that your rims are more exposed!

The factory tire sizes definitely aren't ideal. If I were keeping these, I would upsize as many already have to offer more sidewall and some better wheel protection.

The new Michelins A/S Tesla is putting on the MYP offer now rim protection which is why I am sure Tesla switched to them. They are quieter too.

I suppose the actual tire measurement/spec comparison between Pirelli and the Michelins would better support assumptions about wheel protection, but they kept the same size (255/35 front and 275/35 rear). They look just as stretched from all of the pictures I've seen on the forums so far. I suppose the very minimal amount of buildup on the Michelin sidewall would protect the wheel somewhat, but it's not substantial enough to resist a typical wheel curbing situation in my opinion. If protecting the wheel is a major concern for someone, I'd still suggest upsizing.

Picking up my LR with Gemini’s today and looking to swap to Uberturbine takeoffs immediately. Do I need spacers? I thought they would be a perfect fit as is? I know the performance is slightly lower. Also what upsize tires are people running?
