That’s interesting, jeremy63! While I care more about performance, it’s good to know there are eco-friendly options that don’t compromise too much on grip.
I’ve tried a lot of different brands, but I keep coming back to Dunlop tires. They’ve always given me solid performance and longevity, though they may not be the cheapest option out there.
Dunlop seems to have a good reputation! I had a set of Falken Azenis and while they were awesome for handling, they barely lasted 25,000 miles. Definitely wouldn’t recommend them for long-term use.
Thanks for sharing, snowdanny. Tire wear seems to depend on so many factors, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like tire brands can be a bit of a gamble sometimes.
True, royhodges! Sometimes I wonder if my misalignment is to blame for shorter tire life. Anyway, I’m looking at Yokohama tires; anyone have experiences with those?
I’ve been considering the 18-inch wheels for my Model Y. I think they give a more elegant look, but I’m curious about how they’ll handle on the road.

I totally agree! I think the 18s look sleek, and they’ve got a purposeful vibe that fits well with the design.
I’ve seen some pictures with different wheel sizes, and while I like the 18-inch wheels, the 20s seem sportier. What do you all think?
I feel like the 18s balance aesthetic and performance nicely. Larger wheels might look cool but can affect ride comfort.
Has anyone made a side-by-side comparison? I would love to see how they both look in real life!
Here’s a pic of my Model Y with 18s! I think they complement the car’s design perfectly. What do you guys think?

Nice setup, griley! The 18s definitely add an elegant charm. How’s the driving experience with those?
I think 18-inch wheels on the Model Y are underrated! They look sophisticated, but I’ve heard they can get scratched easily. Any thoughts?
That’s true, but a good wheel protection spray can help! Just have to be careful with curbs.

I read somewhere the 18-inch wheels also improve the range slightly. Has anyone experienced this firsthand?
Yes, I’ve noticed a slight difference! Plus, the ride is smoother. Definitely worth considering!
While 18-inch wheels do look nice, I find them a bit too conservative. Aren’t we driving Teslas to stand out a bit?
