Track-ready, no compromises. This Model 3 Performance Highland is set up with 19” UP Forged UP-03 wheels wrapped in a 275/35R19 front 305/30R19 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R stagger — a combination built around one goal: maximum usable grip with repeatable performance under load.
Why 19s for track use: you get the sidewall support and stability you need for sustained cornering without the dead, heavy feel of oversized wheels. That means cleaner turn-in, more consistent slip angle control, and better compliance over curbing while keeping the tire working instead of skittering.
Why 275F / 305R: the Highland Performance has the torque to overwhelm rear traction, especially on corner exit. The wider 305 rear increases the contact patch and raises the rear grip ceiling so you can put power down earlier. The 275 front preserves steering response and keeps the front tire in its ideal load range — so you’re not masking setup issues with an oversized front that overheats and goes greasy.
Why Cup 2 R: this is a track-focused compound designed to hold grip when temps and loads climb. The payoff is higher lateral G capability, sharper transient response, and stronger braking stability, lap after lap — exactly what you want when the session gets serious.
Bottom line: forged strength 19” control Cup 2 R mechanical grip torque-balanced stagger = a Highland that’s built to brake later, carry more speed, and exit harder.
