These Tesla-Specific Tires Last Twice as Long & Boost Range

Foreigner I love the idea of ​​having a tire that really increases your

range

and, you know, eliminates some of that noise that we get from the road. Happy birthday to our model three, so if you guys have been following our DIY series, you know. that we're not waiting for the Model 3 to be updated and today we're adding these 19-inch wheels and these newly introduced

tires

, so these things not only give you a quieter ride, but they're EV-

specific

, and The tread on them will really maximize your

range

and almost double the life of your

tires

, so let's do it.

Thanks, if you're a subscriber, you've been behind the scenes with us in our Tesla DIY series, where I installed some of the most advanced headlights and taillights. and Tesla screens and instrument clusters on the market in today's DIY. I will continue to install a unique combination of Tesla

specific

wheels and tires to not only give you the best performance look but also improve ride comfort, cabin noise, tire

long

evity and range, so I am very curious, We actually have a scale here, let's check it out, we have our original 18 inch wheels here and then these are the new ones, these are the 19 inch tsv wheels, the old one weighs about 47 pounds now. we have this baby that I'm going to be careful with because the molds that accidentally fall off are the thicker material, the heavier wheel, the t-sport Line wheels and we flow.

Forge it, you have the barrel that is actually forged, the only part that is cast is the face and it makes thinner walls that are stronger but lighter than the castings, so the castings are heavy, yes, Forge, What you have here is a weight reduction and then our fully forged wheels are the lightest and strongest. A little more expensive wheels, but that's how it works. So we decided to combine the 19-inch tsv from the t-sport line with a new EV-specific outfit that was just released hand-cooked. This is a new evcentric tire. These ion ebo tires not only have sound absorbing foam inside to help reduce road noise, but they have a unique design.

Clusters within the tread pattern also reduce noise. A high concentration silica compound allows the tires to be evenly distributed. Road pressure extends service life by at least 25 percent. They also come with a 50,000 mile warranty plus their rolling resistance has been optimized for EVS, so you can expect a six percent increase in range per charge, so I'll have Alex pull our car over to put it into gear. their elevators, but the good thing is that I don't actually have to give them my key card. or my phone to open our model 3. I'll give you my watch because it has the Terry app installed thanks to Terry for sponsoring this video so if you have a Tesla and Apple watch this will be one of your favorite apps the Terry app allows your watch unlocks your car, opens Windows, starts your car, and even Siri voice controls, all while your phone is locked and away, and here's a rare one for third-party Tesla apps that the Terry app also doesn't collect. your data and there is no server involvement as they prioritize user privacy which was a big plus for me when I tried this, simply download and install Terry on your phone and Apple Watch link the app with your Tesla account and you will instantly get some of the best features. that you have on your phone right on your watch to get yours, click the link in the description below and enter the code Kim in the reference box and get the app for about two dollars a month.

Okay, let's get back to it. Local tire stores can take the wheel. on the inside down here and it will scratch the wheel, so we work on the lug nut holes or the hole. Oh, there's actually a wheel that's loading the tire to simulate it being on the road, which will give us the best possible dynamics. The balance on this and this and this gives me some credibility because I was lifting these cars, it's actually unsprung mass, which means the wheels are moving, so as you lower, the car will handle better, as you can imagine if you have like 80 pounds of moving opposite the car like a wheel it could become an impact and have what you feel in the car and the ride and the dynamics when driving over bumps and cornering if you were racing this would be something really important. but even in a normal driving situation, reducing unsprung mass will let you know that the car handles better, so let's put our model 3 on a lift and take off the wheels and tires, there it is, right there .

And now for the fun part, how safe is it? It's pretty secure - the clicks sound like mechanical locks, we can position it now so it's physically resting on the locks, so now we're safe, just kidding. Alright, great alternative pro tips on how not to scratch it. when I screw this on, I don't know what these sockets are for, let's change to this one that has p

last

ic so it doesn't get scratched, I don't want to lose this wrench, it blends perfectly with the floor, so you know, always keep your nuts handy . Okay, that's it, so now we're going to torque our lug nuts to 129 foot-pounds, okay.

Sportline center cap, but we are actually changing to the Tesla ones, which are the official Tesla. the ones they sell here, that you can get when you buy new wheels, wow, beautiful. I love these, they have such a nice sporty look and I love that they are functional too. If you are interested in these, our viewers were kind enough to offer a 10% discount on any t-sportland wheel and tire package. I'll link them below. It is valid for all t-sport line wheels from 19 to 22 inches and for all four Tesla models. Just use the code tsv Kim to get your 10 off.

The same code will also give you discounts on carbon fiber parts, tools, and jackpot kit, and it even applies to your already marked down Overstock wheels, so you should definitely take a look at them. They've got new wheels, new tires, these awesome calipers with our Kim Java decal, rotating center display. now the new dashboard component, we have the yoke steering, we have the rear screen, but we still have more to do today, we are going to add a spoiler to clean it up. Alright, I love it, okay, let's do it, is this the adhesive? Here I took it off and then yes, I put it on.

I think I usually try to line it up with the edge of the light. Here we will put it between these two shape pieces. Okay, so we'll push that. It looks so good, I mean, step by step, move on to the Highland project, who cares about you? We have our new updated model 3 right here, um, and it's unique, like we've designed everything, everything we've ever dreamed of, we've put it into our model 3. and that's why DIYs are so fun, so we just finished the mod on our model 3 and we convinced them to lend us this r1t and this is an r1 t like nothing you've ever seen before, it's fully loaded with all kinds of good stuff, we have a shower on top, the kids, I just realized, they're like a water gun, this is like the Ultimate Super Soaker, right, you have a camper, so when your kids aren't asking for a tree house anymore, this is what they want, it's nice and simple. kind of stuff there and we're going on a road trip so make sure you're subscribed you don't want to miss this so this is an aero four wheeler than that one without the arrow cover so we'll have better range with this one wheel than with that without Arrow.

It covers these channels here and they're called Sipes, that's how the water comes out as this tread wears down. There are fewer channels for the water to come out, so it's a little unsafe when we're going through huge puddles and things that pose a greater risk of hydroplaning, where a new tire has very deep channels that you can go through the water without problem, so Every car has a sticker on the door frame that will tell you what the tire pressure is. it should be set to 42 pounds, so you're going to want to set this to 42 pounds, actually maybe 42 and a half because when you take it out you lose a little bit of air and keep all the tires at the right pressure.

It's really important for some things from a range perspective, as seen in the new Tesla software, if the tire is under inflated it will cost you range, the other thing is tire wear, if the tire is over inflated, it will wear out. in the middle, if underinflated, it will wear on the sides, generally the best performance and safest thing to do is to set the tire pressure exactly where the wheel itself should be. The integrity of the wheel is designed and tested, meaning it carries the load of a Tesla and passes impact tests, so if you hit a pothole or something, it won't break the wheel, so there's a lot of confidence in the wheel. wheel, we will assemble everything, we have no contact, assembly and balance so they can do something in Atlanta and Van Nuys.

If you want to install it we will do it here and ship it to your house or we can send it to a local tire store that does the installation right or you can come to us. Landon, did Liam stop at the glass? What's going on? It's okay, just be careful because sometimes there are little pieces of glass when they break, when picture frames break and things like that that you can't see, see you soon. I love you. goodbye this is how we make our videos we have babysitters the kids are at home stepping on glass
