Switching Model Y LR order to P in New England?

[BJJDad73]

Considering switching my MYLR order to MYP to speed up delivery a bit and also just second guessing my original choice. However, I'm concerned about drivability in the MA winter and I have no idea what kind of tires it would come with..

What are other MYP owners in New England doing? Swapping wheels for the winter?

I'm also not a huge fan of the Uberturbine wheels to be honest. The look just doesn't do it for me. Are others swapping summer wheels?

I actually switched to 21" Ubers, my tire guy told me the 19" continentals do not perform any better in the winter than the tires on the Ubers. There is a bit more tire wall to resist potholes I guess. You would need to get winter tires. I may do that not sure yet, Might wait a year or two or see about getting a used set.

I believe that all seasons on the Uberturbines are probably decent since it's AWD, but I've gotta think that if it has summer/performance tires the traction will be horrible. I'm more thinking of switching to 19" in the winter so I don't have to swap tires back and forth - swapping wheels with tires would be much easier/cheaper. Plus it would help avoid winter damage to the nice/expensive Uberturbines.

Have you driven with your Uberturbines in the winter yet? What tires?

How has winter driving been for you with the 21” Michelins, assuming you purchased the MYP?

I just purchased a MYP and am planning on trying to ride out the rest of winter with the stock Pilot Sport all seasons, instead of spending more $$$ on winter wheels/tires.. —Although it is well below zero and a huge snowstorm is pending here in MN..
