Tesla Model 3 LAM

[napanutt]

I know there’s a few here that are fan boi’s too.

Anyway it’s been noted that we got ours because it’s fast and fairly sporty.
Well, after 45,000 miles it was time for new shoes.

Snow shoes?
I assume Tesla's probably do really well in the northern areas.

Nice assumption.

Plan on keeping the stockers and mounting dedicated snow tires.

Never driven on studded tires. Some of my more "Climate Challenged" friends say it makes winter driving fairly easy. Makes sense to have the setup. I like the new shoes though!

Looks nice. Do those wheels come with an app?

Not bad looking Golf Cart wheels!

IMHO, unless you drive on a lot of icy roads, studded tires are overkill. Dedicated cold weather ice and snow tires (like Blizzaks) work just as well.

With AWD and all that weight, Tesla's are pretty good winter driving cars.

If that were my car it would be parked in the garage all winter while I drove a clapped out F150 4x4, lol. Salted roads are like cancer to cars!

Brian, those look great. Are those T-Sportline wheels? Your car could really use a chrome delete kit, did mine a while back.

Yes they are. TSR 20” 20x8.5 front. 20x10 rear. Filled in the fender wells nicely.
I wasn’t expecting the satin gray to be as dark as they are. Still like the way it looks and yes the chrome delete would probably tighten up the look.

Nice buddy, looks awesome… Go Dodgers

Sweet... I like it...

Gray is a great choice...black has been worn out

Looks great! I saw the wheel size, but out of curiosity, what size tires did you go with?

They come as a package so not much of a choice. 275/30 20 rear. 235/35 20 front.

Brain they look great, where did you guys end up ordering them from? BTW our 22 M 3 is the same color with same tint but our chrome is all black..... I do love our white int though, it is sick!

I'd have to disagree.
Yes, a fresh set of snow tires do work well especially on an AWD but you can't beat snow tires with studs.
I get alot of snow where I live and work ..
No way I'd get up half my clients driveways without studs all the way around on my 2 wheel drive work van.

Those appear to be Mich Pilot Sport 4S tires. I have them on my Camaro and love em --- but on a Tesla Mod 3 ?? Sure they look awesome, but so would the Mich PS All Season 4 tires, that would easily match any handling attributes a Tesla 3 can provide, all while giving you the advantage of a superb rain tire even capable of modest snow ability. Plus, instead of having to replace them at 16K miles max, you'd more than double that.

I'm curious because my son has a Mod 3, and I'm sure we'll be having this conversation eventually.
