Thanks @jcanoe. I was hoping to avoid going the new coil route and I do like the look of the Inductions, but might have to bite the bullet.You would need to change to a 19" or 18" wheel when switching to a tire with a taller sidewall to maintain the diameter of the tire/wheel combination.
The OE 19" wheels have a bit more cushioned ride but the best way to improve the ride of the Tesla Model Y is to install comfort coil springs or comfort coilovers.
No its not that bad. Even mine witht the 21". It just ride like any car with sports suspension. No big dealIs the ride that bad on the Y with the 20"? I am still waiting on my Y to be delivered, but have seen a lot of posts about the ride quality.
Yes. I highly recommend trying 265/40R20. I have a set on my Y and I love them! Only a negligible difference in overall diameter of about 4mm higher profile than stock but you get slightly wider (10mm) tread. Because of slightly larger volume in the tire, aka, more room for air, the ride quality will improve as a result. And it does!Is it possible to change the tires that come with the 20" Inductions to a less low profile tire? Would that improve ride quality in any way and would it compromise anything?
Which tire did you change too if you don't mind me asking?Yes. I highly recommend trying 265/40R20. I have a set on my Y and I love them!

I went with a set of Bridgestone Potenza S007 from Tirerack which just happened to be a closeout. But you can find other brands in that size. Just make sure the tires have the same or better load rating (104 Y) and you should be good to go!Which tire did you change too if you don't mind me asking?
Went from 19 Geminis to 20s on Goodyear oem tires... I barely notice the difference on ride quality.Is the ride that bad on the Y with the 20"? I am still waiting on my Y to be delivered, but have seen a lot of posts about the ride quality.

How is your range with 265's? Any big difference compare to 255's?

I'll be plus sizing as well, but only because there aren't many options in 255/40-20.I’m going to try using 265/40-20 on the 9.5” wide induction wheels to try and get a bit more protection from an accidental curbing of the rims. I do not make a habit of curbing the rims, but the penalty is steep on black satin metal and if I can add some protection and a little sidewall while I’m already buying tires, I figure why not?
I believe a 275/40-20 would technically fit the 9.5” induction wheels but it’s at the upper limit and things would get a little more significantly weird with speed and range.
Has anyone confirmed that 275's, either /40 or /35, address the curb rash issue sufficiently?FWIW, if looking at 275, then 275/35-20 is closer to stock.
