Core or Cyber Wheels?

[TXNDVR]

Planning to order an AWD CT this week. What's your experience with core vs cyber wheels for mainly city road driving (Houston)? Thanks!

My front core wheel all season tires wore out in 9,200mi on my cyberbeast with average driving. I’ll be getting the oem AT tires to replace.

What kind of tires are these?

Core w/ A/S are quieter and enable longer range. Cyber w/ A/T look much better

If you think you’ll see deep mud or snow, you’ll need AT.

If you want the $7,500 credit, you have to go with core (and grey interior) otherwise you exceed the MSRP limit.
If that's nor a factor, All Seasons knock 300 pounds off the payload capacity but have better range.

good summary. Going by the trip computers in the two demo drive CTs, there could be a measurable difference in energy use / range, more so than the 314-325 difference shown on Tesla's website. The ATs do look good though!!

Those are some mean looking tires

It’s more than just the tires as the cyberwheels themselves are heavier and have greater rotational inertia to overcome.

Isn't inertia only a factor when changing speed? It could impact acceleration, but in steady state driving should be a non-factor.
Weight does give a roughly 2Wh/mile hit for every 100 pounds.

All good questions. This was just my hunch. Wheel size and weight have been massively debated.
I wonder if the core wheels are also made in Mexico like the cyberwheels are.

It’s my understanding that the core wheels are the same for either tire choice,. Only the aero caps are different.

Rims are different

It is on the CT configuration page. Pictured below are the options as they appear.

It looks to me like the AT and AS wheels and tires are the same size, the only difference size wise is the Wheel covers. Personally, I like the appearance of the AT wheel and cover better, but I prefer the AS tire for the slightly better range.

AS tires and wheel without cover.

AT tires and wheel without cover.

Rims are different

Yeah, it’s kind of too bad that the wheel covers don’t fit on both rims also. It probably wouldn’t look right anyway with those extended spoke areas of the wheel cover on the all-terrain covers.

I would get the AT tires. And as someone else has already said you wear out the front tires way after then the rear. I’m at 6200 miles and going for a rotation, the shop wants to keep the tires where they are as I have more tread on my rear tires then front.
If I stay like that I would wear out my rear tires like three replacements on the front.
Also get the AT tires for the rims and then get the bullet hub caps from Cybertruckco. I think they also make them for the core tire rims as well but I got mine 2 days after I got my truck and they have been on ever since!
And once you wear out the AT times get the scorpions and call it good.
