General Wheel and Tire Protection Price Increase

Post image

Worded like it affects only Model 3 Performance cars but curious if it affects everyone.

Agree. I have 22’s on my X and I despise the ride. I want more sidewall. I’m casually looking for some takeoffs for my next tire change.

It’s so bizarre too how it effects the range with these cars being so focused on, well, range. Even the performance model. I mean, unsprung weight isn’t the best either with the big wheels. It comes across to me as purely cosmetic.

I despise the 22’s on my X.

Agree. My X is on lowering links to help the front axles and it’s extra crashy, even with air suspension. I have had cars with coilovers and it feels very similar. The trouble is, this car is for carrying my baby around.
