Looks like I am receiving my order May 20th ( Tesla Model Y Long-Range ) if Covid-19 gets fixed. I am in Canada lots of pot holes and snow. I got the 19" 255-45-19 Tires probably summer or all season don't know yet. I like the 19" for Quebec winters and summer's vicious country side roads. But there is very little info on tire size that we can get. I think I need larger diameter tires for the potholes so 255-60-10 or 265-55-19 any thoughts.

That is part of the tire spec. Tires also need to meet the loading index. Just go on tirerack and search for tires for the model Y.

I just did a check at Kal Tire (not sure if they are in Quebec) on the rated tire size:

No 2020 Tesla on their site, yet, but they are to go-to place for Tesla tires....
I recommend the Nokian Hakkas R3. Awesome rubber.

Not sure what you mean by that. You should not change the size of the tire, or (if you know what you're doing) only change it in such a way that the diameter remains unchanged. You can't (or at least should not) change to larger diameter tires as those might not fit and will change the drive ratio and speed indicator.
This link shows you three winter tires that fit:

Yes, it will increase that, however you should not do that. The only proper way would be to use a smaller wheel (e.g. 18") while keeping the tire diameter the same (e.g. 255/50R18).
255/50r18 would be about the same size as the OEM 255/45R19. Make sure you get the XL load rating.
Winter rubber height is 2*255/25.4*0.50 = 10"
Total height on a 18" wheel = 28"
Summer rubber height is 2*255/25.4*0.45 = 9"
Total height on a 19" wheel = 28"
Did Tesla tell you your delivery date is May 20? Haven't heard of anybody in Canada getting a delivery date yet
When did you order? And when did you get notified of original delivery date? By text, call or email?

Is this from a website? I'd like to be able to use it...
Tire Size Comparison
It's got a lot of useful tools, also one to find out which tire size matches for a different wheel size.
