All, I have just ordered a set of Hankook's for my Staggered P85+ wheels and am looking to find a reputable tire install shop that wont damage my wheels. Any recommendations around the Tysons corner area?
Thanks

Tesla will install any tire on an OEM Tesla wheel. I always have them do it because they have the right kind of tire/wheel machine that protects the rims from damage.
If true, this is new. Previously they wouldn't mount or unmount to non OEM wheels or mount a tire that they did not offer to any wheel. The only thing they would do with non OEM wheels/tires is rotate them.
Andrew, just to clarify, I did not say they would mount or unmount to non-OEM wheels. I said "Tesla will install any tire on an OEM Tesla wheel." And of course, by any tire I mean one that meets the vehicle specifications in the Owners Manual.

M3P Kid, I totaly agree with what Redmiata98 says. I have two set of rims and swap out in spring and fall. I do it my self in about 30 minutes.Quick sum of basics on tires. Performance are best for summer use, winter for cold weather, “all seasons” are in the middle. Tread design is not the only factor. Performance tires are harder and react best in heat; winter tires are softer and react best in the cold. Hence, performance have better traction in summer, less so in winter and winter tires provide better traction in the cold but wear faster and provide less traction in heat.
I have mounted sets of performance and winter tires. I do a seasonal swap each year around November and April. We don’t get much snow in northern Virginia but we do get COLD/HOT temperatures. (Tesla has been swapping them for me for a fee, they stopped gratis swaps about 2 years ago.)
