First 24" Wheels for Cybertruck have launched! CT7 Forged by T Sportline

[puchanix]

Um…no. Ride quality and handling are on opposite sides of a spectrum.

Right, my focus is on handling. I am OK with a firmer ride. Seems to me that the 24s with street tires would provide the best handling possible. No?

24" has arrived, the biggest yet! Seeing this in person, the larger wheel does a great job balancing some focus off the tire sidewall and giving the truck sideview and 3/4 view a more structured and edgy look, consistent with the overall polarizing Cybertruck design language. These have the proper spec to bolt-on, no rubbing or fitment issues whatsoever. https://youtu.be/yAeXmaYr13I

The CT7 lineup is offered in a full sweep of sizes:
18" Downsize (max sidewall / soft ride / lightest wheel / off road performance oriented)
20" (Factory size)
22" Plus option / shorter sidewall / less tire sidewall flex
24" Full size / shortest sidewall

24" Yep

Really depends on the weight of the wheels and what tires you fit.

The 24" wheels with All-Terrain tires are for posers who don't know (or don't care) what they are doing. All they care about is looking unique and peacocking. Yes, I used "peacock" as a verb. So shoot me.

They don't look as bad as I thought, tho.

Not too keen on 24s, but those are pretty sweet!

The specific tire would have a lot to do with that. Can you even get a quality road tire to fit a 24" rim with appropriate load rating?

The ony tire T-Sportline offers is not going to provide good road handling when driven hard. And you will lose speed rating (down to 106 mph). More significant you will lose quite a bit of load rating and will have to inflate to 80 psi. to lose the least load capacity. I didn't spend much time on this, but that's what I'm seeing according to the sources I found. The problem is the air volume is too small. Theoretically, the air volume determines the load capacity of a tire. This isn't a precise truth due to other factors, but that's the gist of it. Volume matters. I think any tire that fits a 24" rim and maintains the OEM diameter and approximate width is going to drive poorly, like wooden clogs, due to the required air pressures to support the weight.

You had better know exactly what you're doing, and why, when you deviate that far from the manufacturer's ideal sizes. The manufacturers know their vehicle, the constraints, and what they are trying to achieve. They have experts figuring this out, plus some trial and error testing to confirm, so if you deviate simply for looks, and you have no idea what you are really trying to achieve, it's probably not going to end well.

I'm not saying don't deviate from the manufacturers spec, I'm saying don't do it without knowing why your doing it (besides you think it looks cool) and knowing exactly what you are doing. It's pretty apparent that Tesla leaned towards efficiency and good road driving dynamics by picking the 20" inch wheel vs. going smaller like most manufacturers in this class. But leaping from a 20" rim to a 24" rim is quite a jump. Personally, if I were to deviate, I would want at least one or two tires I wanted to run already spec'd out and a good idea of how that would give me what I was looking to achieve. I'm still looking for some real winter tires that have suitable specs, to no avail. The Cybertruck's performance and weight, and the available clearance with the adjustable suspension, kind of put it into a special class.

And if I was trying to achieve the best road handling, I would focus more on the quality of the tire and less on going to a low profile 45 section tire. Modern tires have come a long way and it's not necessary to have that low of a profile tire simply to achive good road holding. You also need enough air volume.

Besides, the Cybertruck is never going to be a race car. Sure, put on some sporty street tires, that will improve it's road handling quite a bit without going to a low profile tire, but I think running 24" rims and low profile tires is a poser's game. X2 if they are All-Terrain tires.

I don't have a problem with their looks, I have a problem with their suitability.

Actually, I don't give a rat's ass how they look because suitable tires always look fine to me. I'm just not that much into appearances unless it means something, unless the appearance is a real reflection of real capabilities.

Meh. Low profiles? Gimme some big meats, ma dude. I don't want trouble after the first speed bump.

 

[Bartman]

I’m definately getting these rims and some fuzzy dice. Then at the stop lights I’ll raise and lower the suspension, real fast, up and down, up and down.

Wrong pattern for that size. =/

Way too open.

 

[T Sportline]

What color blue is the wrap?

3M Matte Metallic Slate Blue

 

[T Sportline]

Actually the ride feels good, no objectionable noise, more surefooted than factory 20s. Less roll for sure, and not feeling harsh, the air suspension tuning is good on CT.

 

[T Sportline]

I’m wondering how those work with towing capacity and weight ratios? Are the tires and rims rated to hold tongue weight and a 11k lb load pulling a trailer? Since you have to purchase the rim with the tire, what’s the cost per tire and rim? Thanks! They look good!

Thanks, yes every wheel we make is properly load rated for Cybertruck, and we only offer proper load rated tires - all good there. The larger the wheel and tires, the higher the price usually - so yes the 24" is not inexpensive.

Got you covered, check our 24" CTM monoblock, exaclty less openness ??

here is a 24" CTM we just did for a customer last week:

Check our 18" version, those would be for meat seekers:
