Hi, I want to check if someone can confirm to me these are the right tires for Lucid GT 21" for summer

HL245/35R21 99Y XL P-ZERO (LM2)ncs elt 4531700 MEXICO FRONT LUCID
HL265/35R21 103Y XL P-ZERO (LM2)ncs elt 4531800 MEXICO REAR LUCID


I was checking with my local Pirelli agent and they tried to give me almost same tires but Certified for Maserati and I told him that I do not believe these are the right tries and I need them certified for Lucid.

eventually, he gave me the above which I believe the right ones. I would appreciate your support to double check before ordering.
 
I believe they are correct. However, I have had terrible luck with tire bubbles on the Pirellis. Others are mixed review. Just search “bubble” in the search box above.

I picked these up through Costco in August of last year and have been very pleased with their performance.

I think most would encourage you to buy through discount tire (or similar family of brands) to get the tire certs if you decide to buy Pirelli.

Important note: I do not work for Michelin or Discount 😂
 
The problem with “bubbles” on the sidewalls seems to be random. And yeah, buying through Costco or Discount Tire for the certs is just smart peace-of-mind (and lol, appreciate the disclaimer 😁).
 
If the tires have the LM2 designation on them they are the right ones. The LM2 is an improved design from the LM1 tires that came on the car. Haven't seen the bubble problems noted with the LM2 tires thus far to the best of my knowledge. As noted by TakeDuo get the tire certs from America's Tires/Discount Tires.
 
Can I go with square setup all of them same size ? 265/35R21
 
The LM2 is likely a bit more resistant but they are still awful. I had to replace one because 21" turbines and Atlanta's crumbling infrastructure are a terrible match sadly.
I've always preferred Michelin's but didn't think the Pilot Sport EV's had the proper rating for us.

Yes the Michelins were actually installed by Lucid and they confirmed it is the correct tire.
 
I have had zero problems with the 21" Pirelli. They lasted over 30k miles. I did get the tire certs when I repalced them because there is always some risk with low profile tires and potholes or other road damage.

Same. Mine lasted 26k with not a single bubble or pop.

I’d replaced the 19s due to road hazards twice in only 3k miles. 🤷‍♂️
 
We've gone through two sets of the Pirellis on 21" wheels in over four years of driving an Air Dream. Except for replacements due to a couple of punctures from construction debris, the tires have had no issues and have actually surprised me with longer tread life than I would have expected . . . plus the superb wet and dry performance I did expect.
 
The certs are worth it on these heavy EVs - just one road hazard replacement will offset the cost for the certificates for all 4 tires.

Agreed; of course, by buying them, I guaranteed I'd never have to use them... :P

Due to constant construction out our way, we've already had three of our Gravity tires replaced under the Discount Tire warranty due to punctures. All three were rear tires: a Michelin Primacy A/S and two Pirelli PZ5's (which cost over $900 each).

I won't leave home without a road hazard warranty these days.
