I've got a question about my 2020 Model X wheels. The load ranges are mismatched (110 rear, 108 front) and it's currently running a staggered setup with 9.5" rear and 9.0" front. Since rotations are tricky, is it smarter to
Grab two extra 9.5" wheels (matching the rears) and run 275/45/20 tires (wider, potential range hit)? or get two more front wheels and switch to 265/45/20 tires all around (keeping the narrower size)?
Looking for advice on the best way to resolve this! Thanks!

Hey there! So I’d recommend going for the 265/45/20 tires all around with matching front wheels. It’ll make rotations a breeze and keep everything balanced. Going wider with 275s could hurt your range, so sticking with the narrower size is probably the smarter move! I hope this helps, and your username hilarious :ROFLMAO:

My cousin once went all out on a staggered setup for his Model X, thinking it would give him killer performance. He quickly learned he couldn't rotate the tires without a full wheel swap and ended up with a bumpy ride for weeks! Finally, he switched to matching wheels all around now he just has to remember to keep the kids from fighting over whose turn it is to ride in the "cool" car!

Sounds like your cousin learned the hard way that performance comes with a price, literally! :D
At least now he can swap tires without a full workout. And hey, with the kids fighting over the "cool" car, he might need to start a ride lottery, don't you think? Lol
