East Coast (New Jersey) X Plaid 22 inch wheels Tires

[Arche3]

Anyone take delivery of Model X Plaid 22 inch wheels in New Jersey recently? what tires came on the 22? All season or summer? thanks.

ordering and got 2 different answers. Springfield service said all season and sales on phone said summer. I guess they do not really know.

20 inch here, but Tesla’s configurator says all season on the non plaid and summer on the plaid. In fall of 2023 a demo showroom plaid with 22 inch in Springfield had the summer continentals. If you want AS, get 20, sell the cyberstreams and stock continentals and get replica turbines and tires for a little over half of what Tesla charges, thus saving some cash at the price of a bit of a hassle.

Btw I’m interested in getting 22 with summers despite the short lived thread. But considering after market since the turbines are obscenely heavy.

also maybe better mileage going this route to.

I doubt the gas mileage is going to be better with after market - no aerodynamic wheel options and the turbine wheel lower efficiency is mostly due to tire, especially at highway speeds the turbine might be as efficient as cyberstream on lower rolling resistance tires (if you keep the inserts). But who cares about efficiency in a plaid. I just think they look pretty sick and I prefer snow rated tire as I drive to ski areas in winter and dedicated summer otherwise

“Gas” mileage…..the NERVE of some people!

Haha jk jk. Too easy to pass up this opportunity. That’s all for today.

The 22s for the plaid will come with summer tires from the factory (continental sportcontact 6).

If you order the LR with 22s it will come with pirelli scorpion zero all seasons.
