Tire choice for Tesla in Belarus
Sizes, brands and where to buy tires for Model 3/Y in Belarus. Budget options and fixing vibration issues.
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.
- 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.
