    I did 275 35/21 and 295/35/21 on my MYP, took a little range hit, as expected since i have roof racks on as well. But I also noticed Steering got stiffer, due to larger front and rear tires, and handling wasn't as sharp compared to before. The stance definitely looks very aggressive now, which i like, however going larger tires definitely have its pros and cons.

      I agree, steering feels heavier with the 275s in the front. Although now that there is curb protection on all four wheels, there is much less curb rash from drivers.

    I am based in the UK and my MYP is due to arrive next week, it comes with Pirelli so I’ve already ordered 275/35 21 Michelin PS4S for the front and 295/35 21 for the rear to swap out as soon as the vehicle arrives. I also have the Magbak rimcase to give the best protection of the wheel rims against kerb rash.
    Even if I had gone for 295 Pirelli tires they have more of a stretched look whereas the 295 Michelin tires have a better “shoulder’ closer to 90 degrees.

      @@OlavAlexanderMjelde Ive thought about all that before but the uberturbines simply complete the model y, imo.

      @@vannievannie1663 I did testing on 3P and I could measure increased accelleration with lighter wheels. Maybe 0.1-0.2 seconds. However the car also felt more nimble with less rotational mass, there is something about how heavy wheels make a car feel.
      On the YP, the wheels are MUCH heavier than on the 3P. So light wheels can save a lot of rotational mass.
      Range-wise you will only earn range if the aero of the new wheels also is better. If they have worse aero, the range might decrease.
      But if I was an engineer at Tesla, I would not have chosen the stock YP wheels and staggered setup. The 255 front tires will be the limiting factor for grip right, so you have 275 rear.
      If they did square setup with 265s, the contact patch of the wheels would be the same (square). At the same time the aero / wind resistance would most likely be the same, as the rear ones would be narrower and front ones wider.
      Then there is the handling, a square setup does mean its more balanced/can oversteer more. But they could offset this by simply having lower ET on rear wheels (higher track width).
      So 265/265, 15-20mm more track width rear. Ironically the SR and LR versions have square setup where the P model has staggered.. Staggered is ok for rear wheel drive or for people who are afraid of the rear wheels dancing a bit in winter time etc. so I kindof understand it for some use cases, but for a performance model with AWD, I think square 265 would be the best option.
      Be aware you cant run square tire setup on OEM YP wheels, as rear ones are wider.

    Bears Tires has been around since 1984 as a popular local, sometimes lower-priced alternative to America's largest tire store chain. The only thing to keep in mind is they don't offer a road hazard warranty.
    About the tire size, the only issue is your speedometer will be a bit inaccurate. You'd have to downsize to a smaller wheel to keep the same ratio. The real problem is 10.5" wide wheels are overkill as are 21" wheels.

    Just bought new tyres in Australia for my Model Y RWD. For the 19" Gemini alloy I only had the OEM Hankook Ventus EVO E3 tyres at $495 AUD ea. or Michelin EV tyres at $550 AUD each to choose from in 255/45R19. I had some new 20" alloys I had bought for my Kona electric which had the same PCD and offset as the Y RWD. So I got a set of Delmax Ultra Sport 255/45ZR20 105W fitted for $150 AUD each. A little more road noise and a 5% increase in energy consumption but for a saving of $1400 AUD I couldn't be happier. Sailun Tire have released an EV range but not available in OZ yet but are available in the US.

      I dont really need the size of the Y, while it is more practical, I prefer the car size of the 3.
      It should be said I do prefer the rear hatch of the Y/S/X.
      However I need a tow hitch, but not for trailers - just for bike rack.
      So the reason I went to YP was mainly to be able to do a 3 bike rack.
      The 3 Performance legacy version didnt have a bike rack in Europe, while you can now get 500kg hitch on the refresh 3P.
      Highland LR 3 does however have a higher load rating, but I wont tow stuff. I did just use a trailer once with the YP..
      So instead of having the higher load rating in a much larger car, I will just rent a car that one time a year I have to pull a trailer, or pay someone to drive for me.
      Then I can sit lower to the ground. I also just have one kid, so we are just 3 people in the car.
      But driving wise I sit too high in the Y I think.. But the old 3P was lacking with the noise and no hitch.

I replaced them with Michelin pilot sport all season with 275's in the front and 295's in the back. The ride was much better with more rim protection.

The car came with staggered tires. 255/45/19 in the front and 285/40/19 in the back. The only difference is the tires aren't stretched out and the rims are covered by the tires

    I'm in the same boat with my 22 MYP. After 14,000 miles, the stock rear tires (P-Zeros) are down to a 3 measurement while the fronts are at 6. Was thinking about changing the rears to 295/35 and then the fronts to 275/35 when they wear down but some of the comments have me concerned. 1. Will this cause warranty problems with Tesla? 2. Has anyone measured the range loss? I"m not concerned with 5%-10% but some mentioned 20%+. 3. How much will this change affect my speedometer +/-? 4. Will changing the rears to 295/35 and leaving the fronts at 255/35 cause a problem since the fronts have a different height than the rears? I haven't thought about cars this much since I modified my 86 Mustang GT almost 35 years ago!!!

      You are correct it will, in fact change the speedometer. However, the Tesla is actually going 2 mph slower than what is shown on the speedometer, even 3 mph once the tire wears down enough. it seems that a lot of manufacturers do this for liability reason. Perhaps getting the larger tire would actually compensate for the factories offset making it correct and not cheating you out of about 1000 miles off your warranty of 120,000. My concern with his process is that he’s not upsizing the front at the same time as the rear. Thus, I’m wondering what type of an effect it would have on binding of the front and rear motors torque upon a acceleration.

    My concern here would be that you are going with a larger size in the rear and not upsizing the front at the same time. This seems to me that it would be putting either the front or rear motor in somewhat of a bind upon an acceleration based on how it’s programmed to torque. Now, with that said, if both tires was up at the same time, it seems well established that our Teslas are actually going about 2 mph slower than what is indicated on the speedometer., with that said, a larger tire may correct this. Not only would it correct that but over a period of 120,000 miles with the factories offset you’re actually getting cheated out of about 1000 miles from your warranty.

    Have you ever consider 20inch UT wheel (from m3p) with 255/45/20 tires for front and keep the 295/35/21 at the back?
    As recommended for best comfort and aesthetics .

    You used mismatched tires on the front and rear...that's a very bad decision...should have changed all 4 to the same Michelin tire at the same time. Having different tires causes alignment issues and wear issues due to the different grip/method the tires grip the road. That said, I don't think going 295 on the rear offered anything over stock. I guess it's worth doing if you find a deal or better price over the stock tire size. People say the ride is better but I find that to be silly. It's not a better ride using thicker tires.

      Many people I have heard keep the stock rims and if they need to have warranty service they simply swap out the aftermarket ones for the stock oems before taking the car in to Tesla.

      @@pnketia interesting, since I’m only one set of rear tires away from the warranty expiration I’ll just wait. I’m guessing Tesla has “proof” that I wouldn’t be able to refute.
