Model Y Performance owner tries 265/295 R21 Continental tires

Unconfirmed: a Model Y Performance owner with 21-inch wheels describes on Reddit replacing the original tires with wider sizes: 265/40 R21 on the front axle and 295/40 R21 on the rear, Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+. According to the post, the originals lasted about 36,000 miles before inner camber wear appeared on the rear axle, and the owner describes them as feeling like rubber bands. With the new sizes, the owner says they like the look and ride comfort, although every road irregularity is still felt. The post cuts off before completing its first wear figure ("So far seeing a 20%").

• Original tires: about 36,000 miles before rear inner camber wear
