Winter tire set

[borski]

Can anyone confirm that Lucid's "Gravity Winter Wheel & Tire Package" is 20"/21" front and rear? Their website actually does not list this detail.

Interestingly on page 263 of the owner's manual, it states "For winter tires, always install a complete set of four tires at the same time. All winter tires should be the same diameter, brand, construction, and tread pattern on all four wheels." SAME DIAMETER!

@marqie that should really be updated in the manual, as that confused at least one other person I know, too.

Tire diameter, not wheel diameter. I have the 21/22 tires. Even though the wheels are different sizes, all 4  tires have a diameter of 31 inches due to the different sidewall profiles. (21/45 vs 22/40)

It’s 20/21. TireRack lists the two approved tires. And anyone going with a winter tire, aftermarket 21” wheels won’t clear the rear parking brake. Lucid worked some dark magic to make them fit…

Are you saying these Tire Rack 20/21" tire combinations won't clear the rear parking brake?...

Tire Rack

The Bridgestones and Nokia's are indeed winter tires (The Michelin CC2 & the Vredesteins are 3PMSF rated A/S's)
So why would they have them for sale on their website then?
Are you absolutely sure about this and if so how is it that you know this is true??

Oh wait, my bad. You said aftermarket 21" wheels not tires...got it!

Yea…one person learned the hard way and was kind enough to share.

Thank you for asking. Confirming that the Gravity winter wheel and tire package is 20" front and 21" rear. The specific tire sizes are 265/50R20 front and 285/45R21 rear. I will see if we can get this detail added to the product page on the website.

On it.

I’ve been pondering this exact same dilemma and wanted to see if anyone has tried or considered this route.

I took delivery of my Gravity Touring a few months back with the 22"/23" Aether wheels. Living in Northern Virginia, we get cold snaps and sub-freezing temps throughout the winter, but rarely heavy snow. The 22/23 setup isn’t ideal for cold conditions, so I reached out to Lucid Sales for a quote on the 20"/21" Onyx All-Season wheel/tire setup—they quoted $7,500, which feels steep.

Looking at alternatives, the official Gravity Winter Wheel & Tire Package is $3,750, which includes the 20"/21" Voyager wheels, Hankook winter tires, TPMS, and aero inserts.

I’m thinking about this potential workaround:

Buy the $3,750 Winter Package from Lucid.
Dismount the brand-new Hankook winter tires and sell them privately (or trade them at a tire shop) to recoup some cash.

Buy a set of 20"/21" EV-rated All-Seasons (like the Hankook iON evo AS) to mount on the Voyager wheels for year-round cold/wet driving.

Store my 22"/23" Aethers for warmer weather or future use.

Has anyone done this, or seen Lucid sell just the 20"/21" Voyager wheels standalone without tires?

Thanks.

If you have two sets might as well get the winter driving benefit.

As noted not all discount tire or tire rack wheels actually fit. On my Air I found a nice set but they wouldn’t fit on the rear due to the brakes. I ended up getting a knock off tesla wheel.

TireRack will pay return shipping if the wheel they recommend does not fit so very low risk. As far as Tesla wheels, the Gravity has a lot more weight than Model X and thus needs a stronger wheel, read 1,000KG or more

Would you recommend going with the winter package from Lucid and having them install Hankook Evo all-season tires, rather than buying tires from Tire Rack or Discount Tire?

Just remember that if the wheels fit the back then you’re golden. Find the wheels you l8ke, if that’s the Lucid package then go for it, but until you verify don’t get to attached. This was my selection for winter wheels but no go on the rear. Here in Wisconsin we sometimes get a touch of snow so I’m currently running blizzacs on 19’s. But at the time I needed to do the swap immediately so, the ugly Tesla knockoffs.
