The compatibility warning on the website is due to the Sottozero tires not being rated for the top speed of the MYP(155 mph). If you don't plan on going 155 then you should be good.19" Gemini will fit the Performance. Been tried and tested many times over. Back when I had an LR, I traded my Geminis to a MYP owner and they bolted up perfectly.

You can buy them in the Tesla store.Will tesla sell them to YP owners
I wasn't sure because they wont sell them to you unless you have a Tesla. Thought maybe it also has to be the right TeslaYou can buy them in the Tesla store.
Haha that makes sense.
I can't imagine going 155 in the MYP, but the Sottozero's are good up to 149mph which should be hopefully enough for anyone here.
I still would recommend going with R241's and saving some cash vs the gemini's though. With some research on this board, people have purchased sets for around 800 with a discount code.
I'll look when mine gets here....I wasn't sure because they wont sell them to you unless you have a Tesla. Thought maybe it also has to be the right Tesla
In this price range we should all be able to afford a second set of wheels and tires, $3,000 is not "nothing," but it shouldn't be make or break it with the car. I feel for those in apartments that can't store second sets of wheels... but this is also a nation that LOVES storage units and I wouldn't be surprised if many people already had one (I wouldn't get one JUST for wheels of course).This is the best advice. i've seen a lot of people get upset on here that their car was delivered with PZeros. With some people even going so far as to demand the delivery center swap their tires with another car on the lot that belongs to someone else.
I myself got suckered into believing the AS4 was a superior tire when that is actually subjective and i've grown to like the Pzeros more.
You get what you get. Its a Performance model, after all. I haven't seen such behavior with people picking up their Porsche, Mercedes AMG or BMW M.
Just buy a winter dedicated set of wheels like the rest of the world.
Crud. Anyone know a winter tire that WILL do 155?
More importantly, how long does the Tesla train take from Freemont to Chicago and how long does the truck take from there to Devon??? It pinged this morning sitting Cali still...
I think Tesla will sell you them... try calling your closest service center and requesting it to be purchased via your Tesla account. They'll probably tell you they don't fit, but just tell them you're completely aware of that and you would like them to order it for you anyway. I think they'll do it for you, or at least there have been reports of them doing it in the past.Well its not like I am turning it down for summer tires.
I saw a thing the Tesla site that said I had to be logged in to see if they would sell me the tires. I logged in and it said you dont have a car yet. I am guessing that is a no on selling me the 'wrong' size tire?
I saw compete sets with the same winter tire on tesla rims new on ebay for like 300 less. Have to look at the other rims too I guess. Well it wont be down to 40 for a while.
I don't think anyone is complaining about the price, but how nice of you to dictate what others should be able to afford. That statement is ridiculous. Just because you can afford something doesn't make it something you should buy or even want to buy. I have never had anything but all season tires and I live in the Chicago Area. I have never had an issue. Yes snow tires are better, every one knows that, but some people are just looking for a simple driving solution that they have had their whole lives. Perhaps some of us have better things to spend or not spend our money on. "we should all be able to afford it" as reasoning, sounds like horrible reasoning.In this price range we should all be able to afford a second set of wheels and tires, $3,000 is not "nothing," but it shouldn't be make or break it with the car.

All seasons are ok, but they're not great. You still can get stuck in snow and still have issues with breaking distance on ice and snow. A dedicated winter set, even "performance" winter tires are MUCH MUCH better, and if safety is number one (or your spouse not getting stuck going up the mountain to ski with their friends or something) a winter tire is way better.
In the same spot, summer tires are fantastic on dry roads with decent temperatures. The stopping distance can NOT be beat by all season. If you're in an emergency braking situation sometimes tens of feet make the difference between hitting something and not and summer tires will shave every last foot off on stopping distance compared to all seasons. Often summer tires can also be BETTER at clearing water from the road compared to all seasons since the full tread can be dedicated to a couple major things (dry performance and wet). All seasons don't have any extra width but have to handle dry, wet, and slush/snow and that's just much harder (less rubber to design specifically for each situation).
If you're dead set on never changing wheels then all seasons are a must over just thinking you can run the summer in the winter and avoid snow. The temperature alone makes them unsafe. But if possibly, I totally would order the Gemini tire package from Tesla if you want OEM look and quality. If not, grab something from TSportline (18s or 19s) with a full winter tire since Tesla only offers a "performance" winter tire. (this is more designed for low temps and light, couple inches, of snow)

How do you ping your car? Can any SA do it?Crud. Anyone know a winter tire that WILL do 155?

I guess I'm a little put off by that statement because I have seen the exact same statement made in the PPF forum and the Ceramic forum. Seems silly to say its a tesla you can afford PPF, it's a Tesla you can afford ceramic, It's a Tesla you can afford a second set of wheels and tires. This tesla is really not that much more expensive then many ford's, chevy's, Honda's, Toyota's etc. It's not a Lambo. Then maybe I would understand the statement. Even still maybe someone wants a Lambo and to put both their kids through college or what ever. Unless you have no spouse or kids, there is always something important to spend money on.I think you're taking his message a bit out of context. At the end of the day, it's always your money and your choice. And I have provided some advice on attaining a cheaper set of wheels and tires that would suit your needs, and if you sold your 21's you would likely net zero out of pocket.
It's a little bit extra legwork, but you know what you signed up for in terms of getting a MYP. Again, hopefully you do get the all-seasons, but if you don't, at least myself and others here have provided some viable alternatives for you.
Reverting your order back to an MYLR fixes all of these things, and I do find the MYLR to be a better value personally.

For the record I dont really care which I get. If i het the P zeros' I may buy Just AS tires or I may buy winter and rims. I haven't decided yet. I know what the options are and I am good with the it. I personally want the performance model, Just annoyed that when other people are looking for advice on what their options are and someone says its as tesla you can afford it.I think you're taking his message a bit out of context.
