Tire and wheel replacement

[Tommytunadown]

I just took delivery of model y performance. It came with 21” wheels and Michelin all season tires. I live in New York where the potholes are everywhere. Simply can’t avoid them. I want to replace the tires with ones that have more rubber protecting the rims. Or maybe change the rims and tires. What are your thoughts?

I'd look for 19" rims with tires that have a higher aspect ratio.

Yes, you’ll want 19” wheels and bigger tires. Some people look for the 19” Gemini Tesla take-offs, but there’s other third party wheels which will be fine.

If you have money and space, is even do forged 18's and real fat tires for winter when you can't see the huge potholes until too late

The Tesla 19" Gemini wheels for the Long Range Model Y will fit the Performance Model Y.

Other sources of aftermarket wheels:

TSportline (offers 18" and 19" wheels in a addition to 20", 21" wheels for the Performance Model Y.) TSportline

Martian Wheels: Martian Wheels

I have no affiliation with any of these companies (just a Tesla vehicle owner *.)
