I haven't noticed any issues in steering effort going from the factory 265/35/21s to my 285 square setup. In fact, other than the significantly reduced unsprung weight, probably the only noticeable difference for me has been slightly less understeer, which I consider a positive development. Greater available tire selections and the ability to do true rotations have been the other positives.265/40R20 front
295/35R20 rear
I find a 285 tire in the front is sorta overkill because it makes the steering much harder. Also if you use spacers or a reduced offset than factory, it only increases the effort needed for steering even further. So people with 285 in the front and a reduced offset have a double whammy
Agreed. Definitely the tire, as it is present when noise canceling is off.Nah it’s the tire. The noise canceling certainly makes it worse, but still very noticeable with the feature turned off
From the audio information window pick the icon at the bottom right that looks like vertical EQ sliders, which takes you to EQ, but also has tabs on the left for audio sources, and and a tab named "Options" where you will find a toggle for noise cancelling.you can turn the noise canceling off? how do you do it?
Are you sure that’s the right size tire? Its load rating is just 99. The car will fit a 265/40R20 for a 28.3” diameter and a 104 load rating.New Summer setup -

Hi,Are you sure that’s the right size tire? Its load rating is just 99. The car will fit a 265/40R20 for a 28.3” diameter and a 104 load rating.
Also the tread width for that tire is going to be almost an inch less than the 10” wheel. That’s a cornering weight load problem unless you have track tire sidewall stiffness which these all seasons are not!
Also, why put an all seasons tire for the summer? There’s plenty of summer options
I understand your rationale. Here’s the reasons why I think you have under spec’d tiresHi,
Thanks for the feedback. When considering tire and wheel options I have looked into a tires load and speed rating that matches a vehicle’s specs. These tires with a load rating of 99 I get a total load rating of 6836lbs and the model S has a weight of around 4600lbs. If I have the Plaid I would have had to consider a higher rating in the rear due to the extra weight of the dual motors in the rear axle. So going with the 99 load rating did not concern me, when I considered it. And these tires are also Extra Load rated for the recommended 41psi for the Model S.
I was considering going with a taller sidewall, but I also had a budget to work with. So I settled on the 35s. The 35s are for more common than 45s and the ones I found were more expensive.
I wanted to go with EV specific tires when I was originally shopping, but any half decent tire/size I wanted was barely available in the market or way over my budget. And everything I read said EV specific tires do not give any real benefits to a similarly spec’d non-EV tire.
So, I am genuinely curious to know what is that I missed and what should I be concerned with this setup ?
As for why AS instead of summers, I have never had good luck with any of the summer tire when it came to tread life, as they all barely last half the claimed tread life. And I have had Continentals, Michelins and Pirellis and I have always end up spending more for Summer Performance tires. I had an Audi S4, which I had went through three sets of summer tires in the cause of 8 years. Which is why I went with ASs. Also, this will give me the option to run these tires later into Fall before switching over to my winters. The AS will also give me a more softer and (quieter) ride compared to summer sticky tires. I was originally considering the Michelin AS4s, but I got a better deal with the Bridgestones.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Looks really solid!!I'm getting some better photos this weekend - my newest set 21x9.5 21x10.5 Incurve Wheels AT1-Y50

Heyy new to the forum, was hoping I could get some insight on a set of wheels I’m considering of purchasing but not sure if they will fit. Here are the specs:
21x9.5 ET 22
21x10.5 ET 32
I’m about to purchase them I see they are close to what a lot of you are running but a little more aggressive maybe. It’s for a 2015 Model S. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
