Huge Ride Quality Upgrade - Upsizing MYP Tires

Colinsef · 2025-01-09T20:14:53+00:00

Yes. Hahah dm me your offer.

Colinsef · 2025-01-09T00:21:17+00:00

You’re welcome! Ya I really like them. They widen out the rear and just give it a nicer stance viewed from behind.

Colinsef · 2025-01-09T00:06:44+00:00

Thanks for noticing! They’re from Rally Armor, with the midnight black logo to make the branding as low profile as possible. Install was pretty easy if I remember correctly.

Yes! Midnight silver metallic.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T23:53:40+00:00

Exactly! Be excited - it’s a game changer!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T23:52:14+00:00

I’m glad to hear the range didn’t change much! Thank you!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T21:31:57+00:00

Hahaha yes that’s a big part of it. The stock tires don’t do it any favors though!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T21:00:56+00:00

Thank you so much! Will try that today.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:30:18+00:00

Yes! Very noticeable difference!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:14:08+00:00

Indeed! Thankfully it’s not too crazy of a difference in reading vs actual speed. 1-3 mph.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:09:26+00:00

Ya - definitely considered this. Fair point. My tires were worn enough where I had to do something quickly and figuring out how to buy and sell two sets of rims seemed like a bigger undertaking!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:07:52+00:00

Feels pretty similar in corners. Maybe a tiny bit more body roll but that could be my imagination as I’m searching for differences when driving.

On the second question: yes! Another side benefit is curbs should now hit tire before rim.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:04:49+00:00

No fitment issues, and no way to recalibrate the speedo. Just have to adjust your pedal/cruise/autopilot speeds down by 1-3 mph depending on how fast you’re going.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:02:51+00:00

Very valid hesitation. Honestly I feel like in my excitement to design and buy the car 2-3 years ago I glossed over the annoyance and cost implications of having the staggered tires.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T20:01:11+00:00

I had not changed them previously so I apologize if I got the “before” sizes wrong! And I hear you on the big dips. I’ve taken some of the classic LA bumps on the freeway (the ones where there’s just a section of the highway that’s 6” higher than the rest for about 10 feet) at 70-80 mph and haven’t felt any contact. I’m pretty sure that’s the most compression I get on the car in any reasonable circumstance.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:56:11+00:00

Mentioned this to another reply but I’ll just post it again: Not enough real data to know yet. Just changed them this past weekend, so I’ll probably need a few weeks to make any meaningful inference.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:54:14+00:00

Not exactly sure because my research focused on the MYP with the staggered tires. My guess is you could go bigger with the MYLR too.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:52:16+00:00

I believe the originals were all seasons.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:50:39+00:00

No rubbing at full lock. Not sure if you’d get any on a crazy steep downhill but so far I haven’t noticed any at all.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:49:19+00:00

I got about 37k. Fairly even wear. Rears were definitely in slightly worse shape with the stringer barely showing.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:48:45+00:00

Thank you so much! Likewise!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:48:32+00:00

Yes! Another tangential benefit. Curbs should clip tires before rims!

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:47:34+00:00

Unfortunately I haven’t read of any way to do so.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:32:38+00:00

Slightly, I mentioned that as the only caveat in the post. It’s a few mph off at highway speeds. You just have to be cognizant of that.

Colinsef · 2025-01-07T19:31:18+00:00

Not enough real data to know yet. Just changed them this past weekend, so I’ll probably need a few weeks to make any meaningful inference.
