    Tire fail!

    2 months ago, I come out to my car to go the canyons and see tire pressure warnings and see 2 nails in my tires. They were right in the middle and I take it right to Tesla west la. They say they can patch it for $50 each (better than $300 each for new tires so I obviously said yes. Fast forward...

    Do not allow a third part of put your Roadster on a lift (properly placed jack okay)

    I did some searching on TMC, and I could not find a post that mentioned this, so I thought its worthy of posting. After having some service on a 1.5 , I asked about having a state inspection. I was told that the Tesla service centers in New York don't offer this, as they would need to make the...

    How do you rotate tires on tesla?

    Serious question. Based on the fact there is little to no maintenance, I don't expect to be going to change oil and rotate tires at the dealer or a shop. So what now? How does a person ensure proper tire maintenance on tesla and specifically m3?

    P85 19" wheel width and max tire width?

    Anyone know how wide the wheels are on a 2013 P85 19" stock wheel? What is the widest tire I can install for the rears? I currently have 255/45 tires which fit, but I'm considering putting some 265/45 tires on the rear for better traction. Still getting some slip with max acceleration from full...

    WTB: Tesla Model X winter tires - Vancouver, Canada area

    Hi there, X75D owner here. The 19" winter tires are $3700 CAD. I'm hoping to find a set, ideally tires and wheels, that I can get locally or delivered to Vancouver, Canada for a lot cheaper.

    My experience with Tesla's new Mobile Service (documented with pictures)

    After a 5 hour road trip (S. Tahoe to home in South Bay Area) in our MX yesterday, we got a low tire pressure warning during the last 15 mins before reaching our home. Thank gawd it happened then and not during our trip in Tahoe or worse, during the drive to or from. We tried out the new Tesla...

    Rear wheels "Cupping" on 20" w/ Michelins

    After delivery last July I was not particularly happy with the tire noise or harsher ride (prefer comfort), so I purchased Michelins from the SvC but only because nobody else could access the proper rated tire. I did not really notice any difference from the Continentals (So don't waste your...

    DIY Rear Tire Puncture Guards

    Since most nail and screw punctures seem to occur in the rear tires, I made a pair of “Puncture Guards” to protect the rear tires of my Model S. For the last 50 miles, they’ve kept my rear tires puncture-free! :)Time will tell if they’ll continue to work their magic in the future. I don’t plan...

    How often and how many times have you had flat tire?

    Reading this thread What do you do when you have a flat tire on a MX made me wonder how often and how many times MX owners have had flats? Seems like many have experienced at least one in the first few months of owning a MX? Some statistics will be good... I had my first flat yesterday in just...

    Model X and Tire Repair Kit

    So I had some bad luck and had a tire puncture on my front driver side tire. It was a slow leak, so took it to the service center and they offered to repair it if I sign a waiver or replace it. Having only had the car about a month, I went with replacement. I asked them to repair the old tire...

    Model X Scissor Jack & Tire Iron for emergency ?

    Anyone picked out a decent scissor jack and tire iron (lug nut) for the X? I've always carried a tire kit in my cars for nails and other things that can be easily plugged. What size is the lug nut ? The largest one I had was 23mm and too small. I have the standard 20" wheels.

    Nitrogen in stock tires

    Has anyone replaced the "normal" air in their stock tires with nitrogen? Was there a noticeable performance difference? I know now places like the Costco tire center put nitrogen in the tires they install, but I doubt the Tesla Factory is using nitrogen. So I'm wondering if any performance...

    Cross Rotating Michelin MXM4 19"

    Been searching on the forums, but haven't really come across any definitive answer in my search. On inspection of my 19" MXM4's I don't see any arrows to indicate the tires are directional, or the words "outside only" to indicate the tires are asymmetrical. If that's the case, I don't see why...

    Rial Luganos 19", Scraping Wheel Well, Only in Reverse

    My New 19" Rial's seem to be scraping my wheel wells when at a certain angle when I drive in reverse. I don't hear the noise while I'm driving forward but i assume that's because of the "grain" of the tread on Wheel The guys who installed it said it's probably due to the offset on the Rial's...
