Poll 2c : 55R19 tire for MYLR for a comfortable ride on poor roads

[e645824]

If you upgraded your MYLR tire from the Tesla OEM, select this tire if more COMFORTABLE on POOR roads. This poll is for comfort on non-smooth roads.

The motivation is that we can change tires, but we can't change roads. The results from Poll #1 indicated that larger sidewalls (larger tires on smaller wheels) are more comfortable than small sidewalls. Yes, most folks knew that already, but we let the poll make it more official This poll is just considering specific tires. Other polls would look at suspension, coils, shocks, wheels, etc.


Poll 2a: 55R18

Results from Poll #1, "Yes or No, is this size comfortable on poor roads":
50% 19" R45 NO <-- this is the Tesla OEM size
33% 19" R45 YES
8% 19" R55 YES
8% 20" R40 NO

At this point, the results from Poll 1 are the same as they were last week. So Poll 2c is still correct.

Just a bump before the poll automatically closes tomorrow. Odd that so few people have responded. According to Poll 1, everyone must still have the 45R19 tires (although from that poll, half of the people dislike the ride).

The Hankook 19inch isn’t listed.
I’m very happy with mine …. A superb tyre

Let me save you some hassle; none of those will fit. I went with a 255/50r19 quatrac pro and there is just a 5/16" gap to my upper control arm. The 255/55r19 has a 1/2" larger radius - it will hit for sure.

Seems 29" tall is the largest tire to fit comfortably even though some have went up to 29.5" most that have done this have said the tire does rub.

Thanks. 255/55R18 tires are 29.04" diameter so I am upgrading to those tires+wheels once my existing factory tires are out of tread.
