I love the explanation of it all, I’m getting these 18inch rims next week my sister works for Yokohama what size should I be getting for front and back tire size? 🙏
Thank you so much! So the biggest tire you’re going to be able to fit is a 29” diameter tire. The biggest configuration for this is 255/55/18 which I actually recommend. Mine currently is a 245/50/18 and I wish I had a little more ground clearance that I get with my second pair which are 255/55/18
@@Adventures_with_nick thanks a bunch I’ll subscribe your channel is pretty informative, just had one follow up you recommended that size up I asked tsportline but they said they don’t recommend me going up 255 but they sounded hesitant, I’m going with the 255/55R18 109W GEO X-CV from Yokohama any advise? 🙏
@@angelo7045 hey thanks for subscribing! I have a lot more to share pretty soon here especially coming up on a year of ownership…. Weird to hear TSportLine not recommend 255/55/18 because they sell that configuration. I actually purchased a 255/55/18 BFGoodrich All Terrain tire from TSportLine. It fits just fine on the car but I wouldn’t recommend any bigger.
No auto manufacturer covers tires under the warranty, the tire manufactures cover them. Often people will say wheels when they mean tires and rims when they mean wheels. Rims and are actually the edge of the metal wheel. And somehow over the decades the term rims was used for wheels. And, wheels have been used to include both the metal wheel and rubber tires. You did a great job researching. And one would ask why then if unsprung weight is better if it's lighter, did Tesla use such heavy wheels on their cars. It's simple, cost and lighter wheels cost more. And the average consumer cares less about the physics and only about the total cost. Tesla can void an aftermarket wheel (rim) damage warranty because they only warranty their parts. Now if Tesla claimed your aftermarket 18" wheels caused a suspension issue and they voided that warranty, then they have to prove it per the Moss Magnuson act which is Federal Law.
Love your videos looks like you are putting a lot of effort into them and that’s awesome! Do you remember telling me that you recommend i keep my OEM 21in wheels for resale since i have 18in wheels? Will i be okay keeping them in my garage? (where it’ll get in the 30s in the winter, 80s in the summer) how long can I not use them before they go bad? Months? Years?
Thank you so much!🙏🏽 yes I remember, I think it’s still a good idea to keep them just in case. I remember reading somewhere tires have a 10 year shelf life. That being said it should be just fine especially if it’s in the garage out of the sun
3rd video in a row of yours that is helping my confidence to give this a try. Thanks again!

Shelf life is 5-10 years depending on who you believe. You can google the topic for the manufacturer of your tire to see what they say.
what effect does the 18” wheel has on modelYP range..? increase or decreases
@@anony7ion133 increase
