Model S Load Index

[diddydee]

All,

Looking to get some snow tires for my 2015 Model S. Looking into the load rating for the tires it looks like the car is right at the limit for a 98 load index.

Does anyone know if these tires will work well on the Model S or is the weight of the vehicle too much?

Been running 98 load index on my vehicle for a while and never had issues but wanted to verify.

Model S requires XL rated tires because it is so heavy.

Second the opinion on XL.

Hi

Looking for suggestions and advice to upgrade wheels and tires on my 2018 Model s 75. I prefer to stay with silver and would like to upsize to 20" but do not want to impact ride or durability

A light wheel is best. staying at 19" would be better for ride quality and for range. 19" wheels gain 5% - 10% range over 20"

Less sidewall w 20" = worse ride quality.
