I'd like to share my experience, so that other members can save time for winter tires for their Model X in Canada.
I'd also like to apologize to modelxancaster for being skeptical and making my own research instead of just copy/paste his own order
First off, i needed to find the right tire size.
But i started looking for the same 20' staggered setup that Tesla suggested. But it's hard to find and expensive and most tire garage will suggest a smaller tire for better snow grip.
That's when I realized that Tesla also suggested a 19' non-staggered setup on their webstore (265/50/19).
So I started to look around my local tire shops, but all they were suggesting was around 2800$.
Then I started browsing online tire shops and finally ended with the same order as modelxancaster with PMC tire (
Canada Online Tires & Wheels for sale - PMCtire - Canada) :
- Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2. They are very well rated for snow/ice performance and comfort/noise. They have a deep thread and they have a high load rating (110 XL). Real important because the Model X is around 6000 pounds.
-19' alloy rims Replika R187. Don't try to find cheap, simple steel rims, they don't exist past 18 inch. And i checked the diameter and bolt pattern and it should fit the Model X perfectly
- 4 original Tesla Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor
- balancing, mounting and TPMS programming included
- Free shipping in Quebec
All for 2267.54$ CAD (don't forget to mention the Tesla Rebate (5%)
And modelxancaster was right ; I talked to Dominic and he's real helpful and offers a great service.
I've just received them yesterday. Now all I need to do is to install them on the car when the time is right. No worries, no fuss.
Here's a copy of the invoice (sorry it's in French) and a pic of what the tire/wheel looks like.
Hope it helps you guys out.
