Hello all.
I've got a 2019 Model X Performance, and I keep having problems with my stock 20" Slipstream wheels.
1.) They keep getting warped, I suspect due to the poor roads (potholes and the like)
2.) They're easy to curb
3.) The tires are noisy.
etc. etc.
I was thinking to go down to 19" and was wondering if there was any problem with using the same style ones made for the Model S.
I have a set from an old Model S that I'm not using. As far as I know, the front and rear wheels are the same width, so are not staggered. But they are narrower than the Model X wheels.
The stock X Slipstreams are 20x9.0" (front) and 20x9.5" (rear) and run 255/45/R20 and 275/45/R20 respectively.
The stock S Slipstreams are 19x8.0" (front AND rear) and usually run 245/45/R19s. If I put them on my X, I would use 245/50/R19 or 245/55/R19s.
I figure the narrower tires and fatter side wall will actually improve efficiency and give me a softer/quieter ride. And as the wheel style is the same, I'm hoping will retain the look (at first glance at least).
Any problems with this idea?
