TESLA MODEL Y 21 VS 19 INCH WHEELS FACEOFF | WHICH WHEEL SIZE WILL WIN?

EV Channels Review

This video directly compares the factory 21-inch Uberturbine wheels with 19-inch TSportline TSS wheels on a 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance. The reviewer found that the 19-inch wheels offer a significantly more comfortable ride, with the suspension feeling like it has more travel and better absorption of road imperfections. Steering is also perceived as more responsive with the smaller wheels. While the 21-inch wheels provide better performance on the track and a more aggressive look, the 19-inch wheels are recommended for daily driving due to their comfort and reduced road noise. A significant finding is the 50-pound reduction in unsprung weight when switching to the 19-inch TSportline wheels and Continental OE tires, which is expected to improve rolling resistance and potentially range. The reviewer notes that while the difference on a smooth highway is less pronounced, the overall benefits of the 19-inch wheels for everyday use outweigh the performance and aesthetic advantages of the 21-inch Uberturbines.
