Tesla Model 3 AWD Performance Tire Size?

[renegrub]

Have a Model 3 Performance AWD on order and want to buy a second set of matching wheels with winter tires. The Tesla website doesn't sell wheels for this model yet. I called the local service center and they can order them for me. But my question is- are the tires/wheels on the M3 Performance AWD staggered or all the same? And if all the same, are they all 235/35/20?

Thank you!

Huh? It's on the website, ready to order: Model 3 20" Sport Wheel and Tire Package

4 x 235/35/20

**EDIT**: Nevermind, I can't read "This package is not compatible with Model 3 Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configured with the Performance Upgrade"
wtf...
I'd be surprised if the Performance model is different...

I know you said matching, but you can get a better (IMO) set of wheels for winter that will fit over the big brakes:

18

Just be sure to select "Performance Upgrade Package" in the Model 3 Spec dropdown menu. 235/45/18 tires just like on the Tesla Aeros too.

Now I'm totally confused. What size winter tires would I order for Model 3 AWD nonP?

You should just order a set that matches the tire sizes on your Model 3. This was my fault - I posed the question before my car came in and I wasn't sure if the Model 3 AWD performance had staggered wheels or all four the same. Turns out they are all the same!

Thanks! Any opinion on the Bridgestone Blizzaks?

I ended up going with the Michelin Alpinas. I normally like the Pirelli Sottozeros from my Porsche days, but they didn't have the Pirelli in stock at the time and Michelin's were well-rated. As long as Tire Rack says they are well rated, they should be good to go!

Thanks again. This is out of my wheelhouse (NO PUN INTENDED)

 

[renegrub]

LOL - yeah. I installed my winter wheel/tire set last week as it has become quite cold in Kansas! I haven't noticed any performance degradation since I changed them out.

Could anyone please confirm the tire sizes of the Performance Package wheels? (see OP)

Second post already does so.

They're 235/35-20 tires on 20x8.5" wheels.


The only difference between the aftermarket 20s Tesla sells for the 3 and the 20s that come on the P are the P ones have a small lip machined into them for the difference in brakes on P models.

Front and rear size are the same?

Second post also corrected itself by stating "Nevermind.. Not compatible with Model 3 Performance".

Yes.

And I explained why. It's the lack of the lip. Actual size of wheel and tire are identical. They also sell a P-compatible version (with winter tires) that again are the same size.

There are two sets of 20" wheels on the Tesla store.

Regular set (not compatible with 3P with PUP)
Model 3 20" Sport Wheel and Tire Package

Winter set (compatible with 3P with PUP)
Model 3 20" Sport Wheel and Winter Tire Package

And keep in mind, the aftermarket offers some very nice 18" rims that fit over the performance brakes/hub. This is probably the best solution for winter tires.

Any suggestions for 18" wheels that fit for the PUP?

I got my 18" winter tires from TSportline. No complaints.

Yeah, those will fit for sure, but shipping cost is additional $200 for me

Tirerack. Free shipping. Next day delivery. And they pre programmed the TPMI in my rims for the tesla
