    Normal mileage for a tire?

    I have had three Michelins blow out on my vehicles (one on my Volvo S70 and two on my wife's Lexus LX470). I don't trust Michelins in FL due to our heat (my experience: humidity traps the heat and melts Michelins in Florida).

    Model Y Tire Replacement

    I live in Florida and see my message: "Update: I have 69k miles on my original Continental ProContact RX 255/45R-19 tires". So, it is miles not kilometers. Secret: Chill Mode, highway auto steer at 73 mph, cloverleaf turns at 30mph (they can wait behind you for a little bit), no Tasmanian...

    Life span for Continental ProContact Rx Tires

    Mine were $320+ on tire rack & I picked them up in Midway, GA (saved $10/tire) & installed/balanced in Savannah, GA for $110 for all 4 (less than $30/tire).

    Life span for Continental ProContact Rx Tires

    68.5 k miles on my original Continental ProContact RX tires on my '22 MYLR. Take turns at 30 mph or less and your tires can make it past 40k miles. See my other posts for more information. Secret to longer tire life: Chill Mode, 30mph or less around cloverleaf turns - go easy when turning...

    Normal mileage for a tire?

    I plugged my 2022 MYLR rear tire at 48k and drove it until 68.5k. Then, at 68.5k, I replaced all four tires. Looking back on it, if I wanted to save money, I would repeat it; if I wanted to have 100% in all four tires, I would replace the one. I did have some noise from my plugged tire for...

    Model Y Tire Replacement

    Update: I have 69k miles on my original Continental ProContact RX 255/45R-19 tires and will replace them shortly. Darn! I was hoping to make it to 80k but I caught a screw in one of them at 48k and plugged it. Since then, it leaks air slowly. Also, I just rotated them for the second time...

    50 amp circuit

    My cable overheats and drops to 16 Amps if my Tesla is set at 32 Amps during summertime when the temperature exceeds 85F or so. Just set your Tesla to charge at 22 to 28 Amps and it will work fine. I drive 130 miles daily, connect my 32 Amp-rated Tesla cable into an outlet fed by a 240 Volt...

    Model Y Tire Replacement

    I have a 2022 Model Y Long Range with Continental ProContact tires. Each of them has treadwear bars. This means that a gauge is not required. All you have to do is run your finger down the groove and you should feel the ridge. Also, my tires have 53,000 miles on them now and are at 7/32"...

    Tire Puncture After 2 Months

    If Discount Tire will do it for free, then bring it there. Otherwise, I would repair it myself. Walmart sells the repair kit for $8.50. If you have a jack, you can repair it yourself in 20 (experienced) to 60 minutes (1st time doing it). I have plugged over 10 tires in the past 35 years (a...

    2022 model y?

    Yes, I am on a waitlist for the Model Y, made in Texas version with the 4680 batteries. Since it doesn't exist in production, my hope is that its full charge will approach 400 miles with a real 350 to 375 mile range.
