Q: What is the ideal tire size for a square setup on Model 3?
For a Tesla Model 3 square wheel and tire setup, the most “ideal” tire size depends on your goal (OEM-like efficiency, sportier grip, or track focus). Based on the UP-03 square fitment recommendations in your chart, here are the most common “ideal” square tire sizes for Model 3:
Best all-around square tire size for Model 3 (OEM+ feel and efficiency)
- 245/45R18 (for 18×9 square)
- 245/40R19 (for 19×9 square)
- 245/35R20 (for 20×9 square)
These 245-width tire sizes are the go-to choice if you want a square setup that keeps the Model 3 balanced and maintains range-friendly efficiency
Sport square setup (more grip, still street-friendly)
- 265/40R18 (for 18×9.5 square)
- 265/35R19 (for 19×9.5 square)
- 265/30R20 (for 20×9.5 square)
Street and track square setup (maximum performance focus)
- 275/35R19 (for 19×10 square)
- 275/30R20 (for 20×10 square)
- 285/35R18 (for 18×10.5 square)

I have tracked my m3p twice now at road America and a local track blackhawk farms. The power to pull the car out of corners make it pretty competitive in stock form. The number one complaint was body roll and poor weight transfer into corners. The competition sways eliminated all of those concerns....

A staple product anyone that does any spirited or track driving should have. Significantly improved body roll and feel of the car. Immediate difference in the speeds I was able to take turns.

I received my Model Y in October of 2020. After watching many many YouTube videos I was expecting the Model Y suspension to be rough, it was. Some of the videos mentioned unplugged performance. I was willing to invest the money anticipating a dramatic change just like the YouTube videos I watched....

My 2021 Model Y performance rode very harsh and bumpy. Like the suspension bottomed out on every pothole. I did the suspension upgrade and it’s a HUGE difference. My car rides great now. It handles the potholes no big deal now. I wish I had done this three years ago when I got the car. Sandy...

Having the moderate version installed soon and I am very excited for this upgrade, how it is going to look and how it will feel on my Model 3!

One of my favorite upgrades to the Model 3, allows for fine-tuning of the entire suspension system to balance the car out. Each notch makes a noticeable difference, so certainly flexibility with the settings. I started with Medium/Medium settings and tuned them according to the car's handling.

I purchased these as set with my coil overs and these are definite must to install. These bushing add great handling to your steering. Steering is more accurate and responds well to the drivers needs. Highly recommend!
