I thought I'd share my information on tyre life for other's benefit.
Today, after 59,500 km, I replaced my tyres on my Model 3 Performance (Dec 2019). The tyres still had some tread left on them, but due to the different ages and wear Tesla had recommended that I replace them during my 4 year service. I lost 2 tyres 3 months into my ownership due to a pothole and another tyre (one of the replaced ones) due to sidewall damage after being on some dodgy roads, including gravel about a year into my ownership. Thus, there was still 2 original tyres on the car and 2 newer ones.
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 235/35 ZR20 92Y T0 tyres are difficult to find, at least on the Gold Coast, so I had to order them in December for fitting today. The tyre shop originally said they may not be available until the middle of Feb. I've found this to be consistent when I had to replace the other tyres, so I kept the best tyre from my old set in case of any more tyre damage.
Total cost was $559 each + balancing, alignment check and disposal fee = $2260.
The feedback from the tyre shop is that I had probably got 10,000-15,000 km more than what they would expect. This is most likely due to my longer trips being to Brisbane for work and down to VIC for 2 Xmas trips. Thus, a lot of long, stright roads. That said, I still punch it at the lights every chance I get .
I'd be interested to hear other's experience?
