Wife was told today that a DREAM was beaten by a Tesla in some fun race in Vegas.

Back in November, I swapped out the 21" summer performance tires with these Michelin Pilot Sport All season 4 from Tire Rack. Tire Rack will not sell them to you if you select that they are for Lucid. You need to just buy them without a car association. They do not have interior foam, but they are not loud and I have been happy with them through winter. Recent flat tire due to a screw. Used a 21" Tesla Model S wheel as a loaner while tire was being repaired.

So did they install them for you? Lol

I did not request they they install them. It was done locally. The only thing Lucid offered me was a winter tire package on 19” wheels. No options for winter or all season on 21”.

I have used those on other vehicles before- good tires. Is the 96 load rating the same as the stock tires?

Knowing that Tire Rack doesn't offer these tires for the Lucid, could there be a liability problem putting these tires on a Lucid?

The Air's tires will be size HL 245/35R21 99 Y XL in front and HL 265/35R21 103 Y XL in back,

Michelin Front 96 Rating (1565 lbs ) vs Pirelli Front 99 Rating (1709 lbs)
Michelin Back 101 Rating (1819 lbs) Vs Pirelli Back 103 Rating (1929 lbs)

Total Load Rating
Michelin (6768 lbs) vs Pirelli (7276 lbs)

GVWR - 5280

Speed rating - Same Y - 186 mph

Probably fine either way, unless you are really loading it down, even with Michelin's you have a ~1,500 lb load capacity

Are all of these weak spots on the front side of the tires or has anyone reported them on the back side of the tires where they are harder to see?

Not HL enough apparently!

Bad batch of tires.

 

[Boomer AZ]

Where these Pirelli’s made in Rumania or China? Is it on the tire?

Oh no!

 

[NoseyReporter]

If you zoom in closely ... You might spot the resemblance.

I hate Pirelli tires... And apparently so does Max.

 

[MPawelek]

Had them as oem on three MB’s and had them replaced immediately….

Ugh
Yes I wonder if it’s equally likely the sidewalls would fail on the inside (hidden) versus outside. At least so far I think none of them have totally failed (blowout)

Worst tired of all time. The only tires I have ever had that do that. No idea why Lucid would partner with them.
