Tesla OEM winter wheel package and wheel covers installed on Cybertruck

Obecalb · Nov 5, 2024

New Tesla OEM winter wheel set installed yesterday. They look pretty mean. Definitely feel softer on turns than the original AT tires

Looks good - I'm wondering how those covers will handle snow getting in between it and the tire. Where do you live - I'm holding on getting the winter tires till I see how the AT's perform in Nebraska. It's still quite warm here so haven't really had a chance to see how they do.

The aesthetics of the winter tire visually fits the CT. I'm curious about the winter performance once you have more time to test

Thanks for the pic. Looks like the sidewall lacks the cutouts for the cover spokes, also curious about trapped snow and ice potentially melting, refreezing and damaging the retaining ring.

I'm thinking that for true winter (read snow and ice) use it's best to leave the covers and mounting rings in the garage.

Looks good, winter tires scheduled for 18th, Wheel Covers TBD - if I ever get them I'll consider putting the covers on as it's a second set of off-road / winter rims aka beaters - and keep the originals rims as the "pretty ones".

Please provide more feedback as you get some more experience.....based on feedback to date: range hit from minimal to 10%, worse dry handling / traction, and known reduced top speed.....but expected better offload and snow performance. .

Definitely not a fan of the wheel covers covering the tire logos. That looks like a mismatch.

I'd just put on center caps and nut covers. It's cold, range is going to suck anyways, skip the full aero covers?

We are in the Portland area, so will be running to Mt. Hood and Bachelor this winter. I did get the chains too in case I need them. I am more used to running on true winter tires, so I am curious to see how these work. I like the looks of the covers, but may very well remove them from the winter tires. I bought red brake caliper covers and need to install them. I overall like the look of the cybertruck rims and I think with the colored calipers it is going to look great. My range is really good already, so not too concerned about range changes with or without the covers. Averaging around 350 w/mi at about 8k miles

CyberTruck looks good…

…except in ‘winter’

…it looks ‘confused’

I've had the Duratrac "winter" tires for a while now and, while I haven't had the opportunity to take them on ice or more than an inch or two of snow, I have had them off-road on numerous surfaces. In general, on hard surfaces like rock, the regular OEM AT tires are better, but on soft (but cohesive) surfaces like packed dirt, clay, mud, or a layer of wet leaves on rock, the Duratracs are better. Just don't expect them to be better in deep, dry sand, the OEM AT tires will win that contest every time.

The OEM AT tires are much better on pavement, wet or dry (but not in standing water). I haven't tried the OEM All-Season Radials.

Would the 'core' wheel covers be a better option? I have the winter tires showing up soon and greatly appreciate you sharing how the 'cyber' wheel coves fit.

Just not a fan of the overhanging look of the aero covers on these tires, and I assume you will easily lose them when the snow and ice start to pack in. I think they will look best with just a simple hub cover in the center.

lose the covers

Got mine Wednesday. Definitely louder than the stock tires.

They also take a huge hit on efficiency, went from average 370 to 580 ?‍??‍

assume some of that has to be temp? I've gone from 425 to 500 just because of recent temp drops
