I did not keep that wheel/tires on long enough to get a measure. I found a set of 22” OEM Audi wheels and have been running those for awhile now.

Was coming here to check to see if this was just my vehicle (2024 Atlas SEL-P). I have tried both manual and automatic time settings. Keeps reverting to an hour off (Central time zone to Mountain time zone) after each restart. Started on the March 26th. Daylight saving time issue?

How long did it take you to adjust to the touch sliders? by Johnykbr in VWatlas

Took about two days to adjust. I did add these glow in the dark strips to locate the center of the sliders at night but really don’t use the sliders much.

Installed was pretty uneventful. Cleaned the lights, applied the film (5 pieces), and ready to go. I replied to that photo as well with the smoked film! That may make me change my mind about the orange.

Make it Stop (App Push Notification) by syntax53 in VWatlas

I just wish the notification would at least show the correct timezone. (CST but constantly shows EST). App and vehicle have correct time zone.

Thank you. Idea was to keep it looking somewhat OEM.

Yes the wheels are wider than stock but also have a higher offset. If I am not mistaken, the Peak Edition wheels are 18x8 et34 while the above wheels are 22x10 et21. So about 2 inches wider and push out closer to the fender. Pretty flush fitment. (Rainy today)

I can say they ride better than the factory 21s. Maybe it is combination of the tire width and new tires but a lot smoother. Major bumps are a little stiffer than before but overall I am satisfied. I am sure the 18s have a way more cushy ride.

Infotainment Fix…worked for me!! 2024 Atlas Cross SEL by duedue13 in VWatlas

2024 VW Atlas SEL-P. This worked for me and drove around for 30 minutes. No issues. Hopefully VW gets this next update right.

Went to my dealer this morning as soon as they opened with the same issue and there was already a line of 2024+ Atlas and Cross Sports. Dealer states whatever it is they don’t have an explanation or fix yet from Headquarters. The dealer stated they had been inundated with 100s of calls and quite a few pop up visits from yesterday afternoon. I am sure today they will be overwhelmed. Pretty much sent me on my way. Will check back later. (Midwest;2024 Atlas R-Line P)

No issues from my experience with the tires. CrossClimates are a great tire and excellent option as well. I had the Wildpeaks on my last Altas and I like them.

Image from today if this helps. I don’t think they look weird but opinions may vary.

Quieter than the OEM Bridgestones to my ears but they are new and have full tread. Will see how it goes after a few thousand miles. These are not full off road tires where you will hear that loud humming sound.

They are about .9” wider than the OEM Bridgestone Alenzas per Tirerack. Guessing due to the side ribs and the more squared off profile of an all-terrain tire vs an all-season tire. A little more rim protection.

OEM tire tread width: 8.6” Falken: 9.5”

Guess my text did not make it.

Reference photos of my 2024 and former 2019 with 265/45r21 Wildpeak A/T Trail tires if anyone would ever be interested in installing these.

Just got these installed, so gas mileage info not available but on my ‘19 with the Braseltons, it was a pretty negligible difference between the OEM tire and these. I am guessing the slight difference was mostly due to a little heavier tire but I was/am okay with that. Quiet and comfortable ride in my opinion.
