Perfect. Thanks!I don't remember if we got snow last year (NYC). I think we did and these performed very well. By very well, I mean I drive as normal without concern for my or my family's safety.

Thanks for that! And one more question. On the rears, any thoughts on if a 295/40r21 (30.3" vs 30" on 285's) would still fit? Or are the 285's pretty tight?I would assume these tires would do fine in snow, even though haven't tried that yet.
My pleasure. I would think those tires would fit without any issues, but best bet would be double checking with your tire installer. Here is a comparison between the front and rear tires if you decide to go with 295/40R21, and 265/40R21 tires.Thanks for that! And one more question.

Congratulations. Awesome pictures of your MYP with new tires. Drive safelyOk team, here it is: the new rubber was installed this morning and….it looks/rides great IMO! No pictures of the 265/40R21 front shoes as this has already been covered by @Quorky and @Maximus2002 (thank you both) in this thread; however, given the lack of availability of the 285/40 rear rubber (from TireRack), I installed 295/35R21 Pilot All Season 4 tires on the rear! It looks amazing, almost exactly replicates the sidewall dimension of the fronts, and looks incredibly meaty from the rear. To my eye, it looks nearly perfectly flush and offers enhaneed protection from road debris, imperfects, etc. No stats on efficiency yet, but this is less of a worry as this car is primarily used around town…. It’s only been a couple of hours, but I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread and dialogue.

Given the location of that screw, it looks like it could be worthy of patch if only to buy you a bit of time to get the tires you really want. You will likely have to remove the OEM foam but it should be doable (disclaimer: I do not have personal experience doing this). Still, I highly recommend the upsized tires: aesthetics, ride comfort and road imperfection resistance are all improved. Good luck.I came out of the gym tonight with a large screw in my tire. They were already worn but at this point I could only drive a mile to my house. Going to call around tomorrow to see what options I have vs what is in stock. Worst case I might need to contact Tesla to see if I can just get 2 more rears installed of the Perellis As I can’t drive the car right now. I’d like to do the 265/40 and 285/40. Next option would be the 265/40 and 295/35 I guess?

NO! It's no longer safe! Your best move at this point is to trade me your new tires for the OEM stock tires. I'm willing to do that for you. Paying it forward.So I just got the Michelin pilot all season 4’s 265/40/21 and 285/40/21 installed and they look and work great. But I also just realized there’s a recommended limit of 3% overall diameter change for cars and this is more like 5%. Is there a difference in EVs that makes it safe to go over this limit?
This is my exact spec — I couldn’t be happier. Good luck.Hi folks,
I was looking to all-season alternative to P Zeros. Live in Seattle, winter tires makes no sense since roads are not cleaned when it snows anyway and everybody just stays at home.
I've ordered Pilot 4 All Seasons in 265/35/21+275/35/21 since Michelin doesn't make tires in stock 255/35/21 size. Then I've found this thread and decided to go up in the size. Stock size is so harsh.
So I've re-ordered these tires in 265/40/21+295/35/21 size. Bigger sidewall, meatier from the back, and I even saved $70 comparing to close-to-stock size
BTW, have you found a solution how to tell the car about new tire size to adjust speedometer/odometer? Since with these sizes front tires are 4-5% bigger then stock.This is my exact spec — I couldn’t be happier. Good luck.
