Too bad the tires are tied to the wheel and can't just be exchanged

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

they aren't tied to the wheel, just the hubcaps. If you want to run it without the hubcaps, you can put whatever tire you want on it.

if only they used something sensible like nuts and bolts to secure them. something which could be easily unscrewed...

They do but the tires are specifically made for Cybertruck and the hubcaps lock in with the tire. If you buy a different set of tires they fit the wheels just fine but the hubcaps no longer do. It just affect aesthetics and probably aerodynamics.
