13,600 miles and need new tires?

[mikey23]

Man, have a 2018 S and 3 of my touring tires down to 2/32 and the other back tire, well its close to bald.
I know with launches, the weight of the car, and rough roads can wear it down. But damn, wasn't expecting that.
I have a tesla appointment coming up for HW3 upgrade, do they have in stock other tires than the eagle touring? Or should i get tires somewhere else?

When you get your tires have them check the alignment. I chewed through tires until I finally got the car aligned.

15,000 mies max is what I'd expect from a car with high performance. If one tire is close to bald then it's a matter of alignment as well.

I disagree. I purchased my car used and still got a little over 17k miles on the tires it had. When I picked it up it had 7/32 and 6/32 on the tires. I’ve put 7500 on my new set and the tires are 8/32.

I’d guess it’s more of a crap tire (not a perf tire) AND bad alignment. FWIW I run Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ 19”.

Picked up my car roughly 15 months ago with like-new (or actually new) 21” Michelin Pilot Super Sport staggered tires. Still about half tread left on the fronts, less in the rear.

Mostly highway mileage with a limited amount of Ludicrous activity.

If not for working from home the last four months, I would probably be at 25K on them and need new rears. Possibly all four.

I use 19” so does the service center stock other tires than the Goodyear?

 

[ahkahn]

My stock tires got about 27,000 miles, if I remember correctly. I changed them out to the Pirelli Cinturato P7's and I've got at around 45,000 on them, and still have plenty left. I'll bet I get 60k on them.

I got less than 20k out of the stock Goodyears. They’re just crappy tires.

Contact your service center and ask them. Mine has Michelin’s only in stock.

Yeah right, as if I can actually talk to a live person.

 

[Magellan55]

I got 24k out of my GET's. Probably depends on the roads you drive on and driving style, but 15k seems low for touring tires. I switched to MXM4's, which usually get me 35k in other cars.

does your sc not have a dedicated email? also this would be considered a part so you should be able to get parts on the phone.

E.g. Tesla SC email:

[mikey23]

I was just joking. Just saying not as easy as traditional service centers to just call up

 

[S-ALSET]

Try these japanese option. I switched from the michelins contis and never looked back. Falken azenis staggered.

 

[mikey23]

I just went ahead got a local shop to order some mxm4s for me. Makes me nervous driving almost an hour to service center on bald tires.
You guys trust a regular shop for wheel alignment or let Tesla do it?

If there is no issue with the wheel alignment, this sounds like somebody had a ton of fun during those 13,600 miles!

 

[beatle]

Alignment is nothing special. It's just like aligning any other car.

I just sold my 2018 MX with 25,900 miles and still had great tread left. It’s all driving style as well. Now the new one has 22’s so I’m sure I’ll burn through those quicker.
