No I'm not positive. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to figure it out.. It's so risky buying new tires and wheels on a new car. Can we really rely on the online retailer compatibility?
Tesla's site says they provide free shipping to your nearest service center. But I live 4 hours from there. Does anyone know if I order from them, will they ship them to my house for free instead?
In SE PA I haven't gotten winter tires before, although definitely felt that we could have used them a few times in the past.
Figured, we invested this much in a car, might as well have the safest setup.
I'm going with the 18" TST's. I did the pre-order on them (last BF!) and they just shipped yesterday. I was leaning towards putting the x-ice on them but could be swayed.Going with the 18s because they are flow forged vs 19 cast? Might wait until Black Friday for T sportline deal. Lots of good reviews on those Nokian Hakka r2’s. Might have to go with them over mich x-ice regardless of warranty...
If it is your daily driver, DO IT. I'm in the same area (Go Birds!) and put snow tires on my previous cars (BMW, Audi) and it was well worth all the trouble. i'm debating doing it for my PM3, even though I'll still have access to a beater that I'll drive in the snow most of the time.
Since I'm getting the 20 inch wheels from the factory, I'm thinking snow tires might be a safer bet just because of the pot holes. Added traction in cold/dry weather will just be a bonus.
How did you get Aero wheels for $200 each? They quoted me $300 each...

Exactly what I want.Got a set of Nokian R2s on eBay for $560 w/ coupon together with cheap TPMS (ITM? $100 for all 4) and will mount them on tire rack discount alloy rims (or steelies if I can find them). I'm pretty sure the rims will get banged up in our harsh winter here so I'm getting the cheapest ones possible.
Exactly what I want.
Would you mind posting some links ?

Planning to buy Michelin X-Ice® Xi3 235/45 R18 98H from discount tires as service center is 250 miles. Can you just switch tires on Aero OEM wheels? Why buy second set of wheels as I cannot do it myself anyways.
I've had the Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 on 2 vehicle (Subaru and Lotus), and while the grip is great in the snow and ice, on normal pavement they are just too floaty and I have to overinflate them to get them to handle okay, but that reduces there grip. On the Subaru it was so bad that I pulled off the road at least twice while driving on the freeway to check to make sure my wheels weren't loose. It made me driver slower on the freeway because the cars handling wasn't predictable, even if the grip was technically sufficient. At slower speeds it was a ton of fun, it was just bad over like 50 mph.
So, from now on, I'll be getting some performance winter tires, not the studless winter tires. In SE Michigan, we don't get that much snow, and it gets cleared usually within a couple days. So, when the roads are just cold, I feel much safer with the performance winter tires, like the WINTER SOTTOZERO 3.
