      The added weight is probably not quite as big a deal as the increased rolling resistance from the tires, although I'm not sure how detectable that is. I found that my trap speed in the quarter mile went from high 117s to mid 116s with the 275s on, so there is probably a difference, but it ends up just being the cost of the better looks and better lateral traction.

      ​@@civicekhatch9 The ride is likely unchanged. Because metric tire sizing uses a ratio of width and sidewall measurements, the sidewall height is the same. Yes, it's 35 vs 30, but because the sidewall number is a ratio of the width value, it's made to be same. Remember, the outside tire diameter is the same too, which can only be achieved if the sidewall height matches the old tires.

    Very interesting. Were the 275/30s that you tested on the front the wider Tesla spec version of the Pilot Sport 4s or were they a generic or Mercedes version? This is relevant because the Tesla spec version with the acoustic foam actually is 4/10 of an inch wider in terms of tread. That might be pushing it in terms of the front spindle. Thanks for your video!

    • @maxlife438

      They were the generic version- there is not a "Tesla Spec" in that size, since Tesla doesn't put those on their cars.
      I will say that my 235s that were in the front before were no wider than the generics that I had fitted for my track set. Not sure where you got that measurement, but could it have been based on different manufacturers?

      The setup you see in the video is NO spacers, but the 275 tires definitely bring the fitment out to almost flush on the stock wheels.
      I have not put any spacers on simply because I'm using that set of wheels/tires as a track setup, and I'm nervous about messing with the steering geometry with the spacers. It probably doesn't matter TOO much with street driving, but when I'm beating the crap out of the car around the track I want to minimize the number of things that can go wrong...

    I just installed the Bridgestone Potenza Sports 2021YR Models on the 20" Uberturbines running the same 275-30-20 on all 4.
    The installation was incredibly challenging for the installer, and they ended up scratching up all 4 rims pretty bad. I am assuming that the Bridgestones have a thicker/stiffer sidewall than the Pilot 4S.
    How was the install on the Pilot 4S?
    The car isn't currently lowered, it's on 100% stock configuration and yet I do experience tire rub when making a left U turn with this Bridgestone. It's a slight rub, and once I get my quickjack extensions tomorrow, I'll lift the car and make a Video on exactly where it's rubbing.

    Nice review, just got a 2023 3P and put on the OEM Pirelli snow tires - might try to sell the summer set and go big. MaxLife, are you using Tesla insurance? I'm already getting dinged for turning too hard (>.4G) and was told autocross would tank the score and cost more $$$ each month (even though Tesla should be able to see it is on a track or parking lot)...BTW, I saved $4k/year by adding all 5 cars to the Tesla plan vs USAA because we have two teen drivers that Tesla does not rate on age.

    • @maxlife438
      @maxlife438  Рік тому +1

      Tracking the car tanks your driver score, unfortunately. When I was trying to get the FSD beta back in the day, I had to try to get a high score. That lasted about 3 days, and I lived in the 40s with just normal driving...
      I have USAA (with a teen driver), but I dropped by insurance costs by having a beater that he is assigned to.
      If you're running two sets of wheels, I def recommend running higher profile A/S as your daily set- the 20" don't survive pot holes very well and are pricey. I swap wheels and tires when I go to the track, and it makes life much easier. With the seats down, you can fit a full set of wheels and tools in the back.
      Congrats on the purchase! Still think this is the best possible daily driver you can buy!

      It is more surface area, but I think the tire composition and manufacturer may be the most important. Tesla sells the M3P with summer performance tires (which aren't supposed to be used below 40 deg F) no matter where you live and what time of year it is. That is a recipe for disaster, and I think that is a large part of why so many people have issues with the tires.
      I went to 19" wheels and A/S tires for daily use, and I'm very happy with the ride and durability. I have a video on the swap on the channel.
      Hope this helps!

    Hey any update on how the 275’s are doing? I just went into a tire shop and they were telling me it wouldn’t be able to fit, it would look weird, & Tesla sensors would go off like a Christmas tree if they changed the tire. I’m about to just go to another shop & order them. Any input boss? Thanks

    • @maxlife438
      @maxlife438  Рік тому

      That shop is full of crap.
      You can run 275/30R20s on the stock Uberturbine wheels with absolutely no issue, and they will not affect your speedometer or anything.
      The look is better, and the wider tire seems to protect the rim a little better.
      You WILL likely notice a small degradation in range because of the increased rolling resistance, but nothing crazy.
      As a note, while I have driven the 275s around as a daily, i normally just use those for track days, since the extra grip seems to help with traction. Even under those extreme conditions, there is no rubbing or any issues from the Tesla.

      I second what MaxLife stated. I'm on week 2 with running 275/30 squares on stock Uberturbine wheels. I did have Discount Tire customer service rep tell me that they wouldn't work and I only had 2 sets and was gonna return to do the other. I told him I wanted to put them on the back he was like our system are saying that I have to use 235. I told him you and your system must be outdated. I showed him DT website tire 0ptions. I ask the guy does he own a tesla? He look puzzled and I ask him again, he said no. So I said how the monkeyball are you going tell me what works on my car when you don't have one. He just looked stunned and the two ladies waiting on their car just laughed . That's when the shop manage jumped in and I told him he need to retrain his clerk. Went to another tire shop they put them on and no problem since. I have noticed my a bit of my range lost but it's cool. Overall, loving them.

    (IF) you really want to judge the space in the wheelhouses without driving, then park the car on 2 wedges: e.g. front right and rear left. These 2 wheels will get pushed in the wheelhouses by the cars weight. Now judge again.... Better: load car full to max allowance and ride it hard.

    You experienced no range decrease? Is that because your 275s are all seasons? Since all seasons are more efficient than summers.
    How much heavier has your steering gotten?
    One thing I hated going from 18s to 20s is the much heavier steering. Would 275 be like 40% heavier to steer than the 235s? At low speeds? In parking lots?

      Thanks! I think the 275s are definitely a better look on the car.
      The 275s I have are summer tires, as well, but I'm just not that kind to the car and certainly don't drive like I'm trying to maximize efficiency ever, so other people may notice a difference.
      From a physics standpoint, there is definitely more rolling resistance, so I'm sure it impacts efficiency/range. My point is that driving style has such a larger impact that I wouldnt recommend that being a make or break part of the decision.
      The steering feel is a little heavier, but you can also adjust that in the vehicle menu in case you want to lighten it up. Not a huge difference, but you can tell. I don't notice any real difference at low speeds or in parking lots, for what it's worth.

      So, potentially. My experience is that you can dial back the understeer in the Track Mode settings by shifting the power balance towards the rear so it is 45/55 or 40/60, and you have a little more control that way.
      If you don't have the track mode option, then the "reverse" staggered setup is something that Audi uses on some of their cars, and it may help, but I imagine there are other ways to do it

      I don't notice a significant drop in range. It is within the "wiggle room" associated with how you drive. It also seems to have better efficiency than my "19 Aodhans that I use with my winter tires that are 235s.
      Bottom line is that it likely increases rolling resistance, but the manner in which you drive likely is a greater impact on your range/efficiency than the tires alone.

      There is some math to go into that to make sure you match (or get close to) the stock diameter, and the 18 in wheels are narrower (I believe 8" vice 9") so you can't run quite as wide a tire on those wheels. T-Sportline has a pretty good rundown of all the stock Tesla wheels.

      I've heard that you can go much wider in the rear, but I have not tested it, mostly because going any wider in the 20 inch wheel makes it so that the tires get taller than stock, and it makes matching front to rear difficult. Basically, you can't go under the 30 aspect ratio on the 20 in wheel, so 275 is the widest size tire that can still be the stock tire diameter.
