Booked a mobile tyre service to replace 2x front standard Hankook tyres that a co-driver had kerbed and taken a good chunk out of.
I'd ordered 2x Michelin Crossclimate 2 SUV which are same size 255/45/R19 (since the exact Hankook, let alone the T0 version, wasn't to be found)
However on arrival the operative told me that because it was rated 104H (the H denoting road speed, something I never knew), he's been told previously "by Tesla" (?) that the Tesla warranty on things "wheels" wouldn't be valid. Is this true? He advised I just cancel and try again with a W rated tyre, same as the original. In a panic, I did this but now I need to try again. Having looked, I see that H rated is still way above the speeds I drive (130mph+).
The more I look into this the more baffled I get. I understand the T0 Hankooks have foam inserts but it's not always clear what other premium brand tyres have this. Is it important? It's really hard to tell.
Any idea what's "closest" to what I have? Has anyone replaced the stock Y Hankooks yet?
If I had my chance again I'd have just let him fit the Crossover 2 SUV but I wanted to have a look into it first!
