Why 18 Inch Is the Best Winter Size for Tesla Model 3

Most Tesla Model 3 owners downsize from factory 19" or 20" wheels to 18 inch for winter. Benefits include:

  • Better traction on snow and ice

  • Improved ride quality on rough winter roads

  • Reduced risk of rim damage from potholes

  • Lower tire and replacement costs

  • Proven, widely supported winter sizing

This is the most common and most recommended winter setup for Ontario conditions.
