Many customers have inquired regarding an appropriate tire match for their 20" EVT Wheel Sets. As Tesla has used Michelin as their choice performance tires for the Model S for several years, we've had quite a lot of exposure and positive results with Michelin products.
As a result, we've been regularly recommending the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S to our customers in the 235/35/20 size for "square" configurations (same sized wheel and tire on all four corners), which has been tested and used successfully by Ben @ Teslanomics on his Model 3. It was also recently confirmed that this specific tire was chosen by Tesla as the OEM option for the forthcoming dual motor Model 3.
For customers who purchase our 20x8.5" + 20x10" EVT wheel combination, we're also offering a "staggered" 235/35/20 Front, 275/30/20 Rear combination. The wider rear tire offers increased traction and improved handling over the 235/35/20 fitment.

Is the load rating for this tire appropriate for my Model 3?
-
The particular Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire we are offering has a load rating of 1,389lbs per tire (5,556lbs total). The Model 3 Long Range model is reported to weigh 3,838lbs (curb weight), so for the purpose of load ratings, the weight is well within the capabilities of this tire (even accounting for the Model 3's GVWR of 4806lbs)

Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. We offer a 5 Year Workmanship Warranty, and a lifetime Structural Warranty. The structural warranty will guarantee replacement of your wheel in the event of a structural failure caused by a manufacturing defect. Wheels damaged due to negligent driving or impact from road hazards will not be covered under the Workmanship or Structural Warranties.
PLEASE NOTE: Any wheel being claimed under warranty must be sent back to our US facility for inspection and testing.
Do you offer TÜV certification / compliance documentation?
With regards to testing, as our ultimate goal is to help our fellow Tesla owners and enthusiasts purchase Turbine-style wheels at a fair price, and as the cost of TÜV compliance is extremely high and only required in a few countries worldwide, we have not completed the certification. We are open to the idea of having specific wheels tested, but we would need a large enough group of pre-paid orders from countries requiring TÜV certification to do so.
TECHNICAL
Below is a list of answers to questions we've received from customers and is designed to help you find the appropriate set of EV Wheels for your Tesla!
Do I need any additional parts to install EVT wheels?
No. EV Wheels are compatible with the lug nuts and TPMS sensors already on your car; the factory Tesla center caps can even be swapped from your existing wheels.
Do you provide OEM Tesla center caps?
No, the Tesla logo is a trademark of Tesla Motors. As a Tesla owner, you may purchase any of the equivalent color factory Tesla center caps directly from your local Service Center.
* For Onyx Black Wheels, purchase Tesla Part # 6005879-04-A
* For Brilliant Silver Wheels, purchase Tesla Part # 6005879-00-A
* For Metallic Grey Wheels, purchase Tesla Part # 6005879-01-A
My factory lug nuts don't match your grey & black wheels, what do I do?
We recommend Tesla's OEM black lug nut covers for use with our Onyx Black and Metallic Grey wheels. You can order these items from your local Service Center, using part number: 1023838-00-A
How will my range be affected by changing from factory wheels to the EVT wheel.
Range is a result of multiple factors. Perhaps the largest being the tire selection itself. We suggest for people focused on range to select a tire that is equal to or more efficient of a tread pattern and rubber compound as the factory tire and keeping the tires inflated to optimum manufacturer suggested PSI for maximum range. A softer rubber compound and more sporty tire, or a larger width tire in both circumstances will typically decrease range quite a lot. Secondarily, is the factor of wheel weight and design. The EVT turbine is on average 1-2lbs lighter in construction per wheel than other turbines in the market, this factor will help range comparatively. Depending on your vehicle and your factory wheel configuration the EVT wheel may be slightly less heavy or slightly more heavy. Exact answers are scientifically difficult to prove side by side due to temperature, road conditions, driver variances, tire PSI, and subtle variances between cars.
Do your 20” wheels for Model 3 rub?
Our 20” wheel fitment for Model 3 has been extensively tested, and does not rub so long as the correct tire sizes are used.
Is the Model X-spec wheel width appropriate for my Model X?
We have matched our width and offset equal to the factory optional Model X cyclone wheel. The Tesla Model X optional Cyclone wheel is 19x8.5” wide and +35 offset front and rear. Tesla equips the factory Cyclone wheel with a 265/50/19 width tire front and rear. We advise equivalent tire sizes. Those sizes are 265/45/20 tire front and rear for 20” applications or 265/50/19 tires front and rear for 19” applications.
