Anyone in the 50K club, please post a pic of your tires w/the inside and outside bars visible. Depth measurements appreciated. I always see these posts but don't remember seeing any with actual data.
We have 47,240 miles on the original 19" Continentals. Tread depth is 5.5 to 6 (32nds) on all the grooves. Rotated once at 19,948 miles.
This is the left rear tire:

I suggest adjustable rear camber arms with an alignment if you'd like your tires to wear evenly.

Were these ever rotated? I'm guessing yes?
Wild they've gone this long. No doubt it's time for some new ones though.

Continentals. I rotated the tires after 12 months even though the Tesla service said I didn't need it, haven't rotated them since because the wear is even all the way around.
Guidelines like rotating every 6500 miles are fine, but sometimes they are overkill.
I have 47,574 miles on original Continentals as of today. Tread wear is even and lots of good tread left. Rotated once at 19,948 miles. Rotating 6 additional times would not have helped my tires at all.

This.
Guidelines are just a metric from the manufacturer. But they don’t take into account that everybody drives differently variably on road conditions, speed, and temperature that will affect treadwear. I’ve had Pirelli P-0 tires that were supposed to be only good for 10,000 miles, and I easily accrued past 20k, because I drive reasonably and our road conditions are generally good here.
I was one of those Toyota loyalists but now Tesla
Fascinating to see those loyalists buying used and even the new Prius’ as more important to them than a better sustainability approach of EVs
It’s desperate times for those loyalists
My support of them is better that do that than buy another ICE vehicle
ICE buyers now seem to be like smokers in 2023, look and feel guilt
But come on, get a clue and stop doing that

Huge difference in MYP rear 21’ tires: You can’t rotate them, no camber adjustment; Lucky if one gets 25K miles out of them.
Big difference in tire size and wear on the MYP; 21’ are staggered, can’t rotate, no camber adjustment; Rear tires wear out very quickly; I doubt anyone can get 30K miles out of them. Front do go longer.
Do yourself a favor and take it to a Goodyear store. For roughly $180. they will give you a 3-year alignment package. Tesla wanted just shy $300. For one alignment.
