You're right I should have said Alpha proto not concept. I had forgotten about the fact the Beta Franz was photographed with at Investor day had different tires than the Beta on static display. However I doubt they had Goodyear make another set of one off 'display' tires, I think the ones that were on the concept are the ones on the Beta that was on static display.
The tires on the Beta Franz is standing next to look the same as the ones on the CyberRodeo Alpha prototype which were 315/60R20:
The fact that the fender flares are narrower on the Beta than on the Alpha could be the reason why they are sticking out.
MDR mentioned the production A/T tire will be narrower than that. Unlike many of the assumptions he passed as fact he did explicitly note this info came from Tesla so I'm inclined to believe it is credible:

I don't think we'll see the sidewall flange on the street tire.Hard to tell if the more street versions seen on early beta protos will be production, because I donāt think Iāve seen any street wirh sidewalls so obviously designed to flange with the aero hubcaps. Itās possible the street offering just doesnāt have that design offered. But if we see a street version with sidewall design, we should be pretty sure theyāre near production offerings (no other reason to create that sidewall design).
