Hi all,
I'm picking up my new Model 3 Performance in a few days. In advance, I've looked for all the threads / webpages / Youtube videos / etc I could about using smaller 18" or 19" tires.
However, when I went to order a winter wheel set from TireRack they told me that they test all of their wheels / tires and in their experience 18" combos don't fit on the 2021 Model 3 Performance. They claim the issue isn't the brake rotors, but rather that they don't work with the M3P's electronic parking break, and say they didn't find this issue with 2020 M3Ps or older. Based on this claim, I got a 19" package with these wheels and these tires for $2,400 (with TPMS).
Can anyone with a 2021 MP3 confirm if this electronic parking break issue is true? If not I'd have chosen the same combo in 18" (these wheels + these tires) for $1,000 less.
Thanks!
