Tire choice for Tesla in Belarus
Description
Tire choice is a frequent question, especially given delivery challenges into Belarus. Popular sizes: 255/45/R19 for MY, 235/45/R18 for M3. Strong vibration at 100+ is a common complaint.
Recommendations from chat
- Budget: Sailun, Headway HW505 (255/50/R19): good reviews, quiet, balance fine. Note: the HW505 is a winter model, and 255/50R19 is a non-OEM size (+3.6% outer diameter vs the OEM 255/45R19).
- Mid-range: Yokohama, Ikon, Nankang.
- Vibration above 100: check balancing weights (may have come off) and the sound-deadening foam inside the tire (may have detached).
- Tires can be brought from Lithuania/Poland if you have a visa.
- Nokian from the Russian factory: questionable choice, quality varies.
