Tesla Model S 19-Inch UP Forged UP-05 Wheel and Tire Package

Meet the 19-inch package that balances efficiency, grip, and daily refinement for the 2021+ Tesla Model S. Built around the UP-05 forged wheel, this lineup delivers hypercar-inspired design from Sasha Selipanov with real EV engineering: 6061-T6 forged construction, a ~900 kg (≈2000 lb) load rating per corner, and knurled barrel beads to help mitigate tire slip under heavy acceleration. Every package is engineered specifically for the Model S Plaid and Long Range, and clears the Plaid factory brakes.

Why 19 inches is the sweet spot for Model S

Nineteens unlock a compelling mix of performance and practicality. You reduce rotating mass compared with larger diameters, which can aid efficiency, ride control, and braking stability, while still maintaining ample brake clearance for Plaid calipers and discs. Sidewall height with our specified tire sizes improves impact compliance over expansion joints and rough pavement, yet steering precision remains crisp. For owners who put down real miles or frequently encounter less-than-perfect roads, 19s are the smart, confidence-inspiring choice.

Two dialed-in fitments

Pick the stance and rotation strategy that match your priorities. Both are tuned for fender clearance and alignment headroom on stock or mildly lowered cars.

• Square: 19×10.5 ET35 running 285/40R19 at all four corners
  Big, even footprint and simple four-corner rotations for long tire life and balanced handling.
• Staggered: 19×9.5 ET35 front / 19×10.5 ET35 rear
  Tires: 255/40R19 front, 285/40R19 rear
  A subtle rear-bias footprint that emphasizes traction and visual stance while preserving ride quality.

Both specifications accept Tesla center caps, factory lug nuts, and TPMS sensors. Fitment is developed for direct bolt-on installation with no trimming or spacers required.

Four proven tire options

Choose from four tires we trust on the Model S platform. Each set is sized precisely for the fitments above.

• Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (summer performance)
  Maximum warm-weather pace with outstanding steering feedback, lateral grip, and braking performance. Ideal for drivers who emphasize performance road manners and back-road confidence.
• Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (ultra-high-performance all-season)
  A single tire solution for varied climates. Delivers crisp turn-in, strong wet traction, and year-round versatility without the noise penalty of aggressive patterns.
• Hankook iON evo AS (EV-focused all-season)
  Tuned for EV duty cycles with low rolling resistance targets, quiet operation, and even wear characteristics. A great choice for efficiency and daily comfort.
• Yokohama ADVAN Sport EV A/S (EV-tuned all-season)
  Sportier on-center feel with confident wet-road grip and composed highway manners, engineered with EV load and torque in mind.

If you are uncertain which way to go, start with your primary use case: summer performance for maximum pace, EV-tuned all-season for efficiency and quiet, or UHP all-season for strong mixed-weather capability.

Made for Model S, including Plaid

The UP-05 is not a repurposed generic casting. It is a purpose-built forged wheel for Tesla, with brake clearances, hub geometry, and offsets developed around the 2021+ Model S chassis. The wheel integrates seamlessly with OEM center caps, lug nuts, and TPMS, and the knurled beads add security under the Plaid’s intense torque loads. The forged structure manages EV mass with headroom to spare, supporting confident driving on real roads.

What is included

Each package arrives mounted and road-force balanced with new TPMS installed and valve hardware in place. You receive:

• Four UP-05 forged wheels in your chosen fitment and finish
• Four premium tires matched to the fitment and size listed above
• TPMS sensors pre-installed

Standard finishes include Satin Titanium, Satin Black, Gloss Black, and Satin Bronze.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward for any qualified shop or experienced owner: bolt on, torque to Tesla specification, set cold pressures, and perform a four-wheel alignment to optimize wear and straight-line stability. Square setups enable simple front-to-rear rotations; we recommend periodic rotations based on tread wear patterns.

Which package should I choose

• Choose 19×10.5 square on 285/40R19 if you want the largest uniform footprint, maximum rotation flexibility, and confident balance for spirited daily driving.
• Choose staggered 19×9.5 / 19×10.5 with 255/40R19 front and 285/40R19 rear if you prefer a rear-biased OEM+ stance and traction emphasis with a refined ride.
