Is it necessary to change the rims for a Tesla?
1 Answers
If the car owner prefers a stylish and handsome appearance, they can replace the 19-inch rims on the Tesla with 20-inch ones. If the owner prioritizes practicality, there is no need to change the rims. The Tesla comes standard with 19-inch rims, and upgrading to 20-inch rims requires an additional fee. The pros and cons of switching to 20-inch rims are as follows: Appearance: 20-inch rims are larger and more attractive, offering a better look. Range: The actual driving range with 20-inch rims will be about 5-10% shorter than with 19-inch rims, roughly 30 kilometers less. Practicality: 20-inch tires have thinner sidewalls, making the rims more susceptible to damage and the tires more prone to bulging. Road feedback is more pronounced, requiring extra caution even for small potholes. For 19-inch rims, reducing the tire pressure to 2.8-2.9 Bar can effectively minimize tire noise and road feedback.
