A somewhat late follow up here. Around June 2024 I had the Falkens installed on my Model Y Perf. I ended up going with the OEM specifications rather than going slightly wider, didn't want to run into rubbing issues although most feedback suggested it would be fine. Have about 5 months of...

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback. yeah, the wear rating and the mileage warranty. Double the wear rating and also mileage warranty for the Falken All Seasons vs Pirellis Summers. Going to try to gather a bit more feedback on the All Seasons, if it looks good it’s a no-brainer. Almost...

Thanks! Do you daily drive the DeLorean? Driven it in heavy rain much? Just curious why you went with All Seasons rather than summer tires?

It seems to be a common option among enthusiasts at least to move the MYP rear tire size to the front and go to 295/35/21 on the rears. Here is a discussion about options...

Indeed. I think I can do it for about $2K for OEM or equivalent tires. I used to think $250-$300 a corner was expensive! Try $500! The Falken All Seasons though are tempting. Just the all season vs summer thing concerns me. I’m also considering either going wider than stock (which gives you...

Thanks. Yeah, but I know some of the folks here and trust their opinions more. Aware of the different factors, mostly looking to understand the impact of All Seasons vs Summer tires on wet handling and their use in Florida in general. thanks.

Hey All, It's coming up to tire replacement time for my MYP and I've been searching for tire options. I ran into these lovely Falkens...

I was wondering about this. I don't have a water softener floating around. LOL If I had a CT, what do I do, buy bottled water from the supermarket? ? I've seen whole house water softeners, I assume there are smaller versions. They need to remove iron and dissolved minerals I believe.

It's definitely understandable, people react in different ways. People are grieving... LOL I'm quite unconcerned at this point, my reservation is years away (if the reservations work anything like we think they will) and the price will likely come down. I already overpaid for my Model Y...

Honestly, the Y is just an amazingly competent vehicle. You won't be disappointed. You will eat some depreciation, that's the reality. I bought a 22 Y Performance pretty much at the peak The only thing that saved me is I got top dollar for my trade which I sold to a car buying service. But...

What Crissa said. I'm not risking my Tesla on some uncertified shop, dealing with an EV is sufficiently different that I want to use only certified shops and hopefully Tesla themselves.

That's how I expected it to be, maybe a little tricky since I want to process through the other guy's insurance. I'll see how it goes, I have this feeling one of the certified Tesla body shop's will be easier to deal with.

Thanks Crissa. Quote from where though? I don't want to file a claim because that will raise my premium which is already expensive. I suppose I could see if Progressive will do a quote without me filing a claim? I'm just finding Tesla sometimes frustrating, this is a very straight forward...

Hi All, Have a quick question about using the Tesla body shop. A couple of weeks ago someone rear ended my Model Y. The damage to the rear trunk hatch was minimal, but still requires repair, maybe even replacement. The guy does have insurance, same company as mine (Progressive). He's asking...

yeah, me too. I'm disappointed.
