I was at the Costco tire center today asking about replacement tires for my 21" wheels (I don't need new tires yet, but I'm curious about supply and prices). Besides being excited to see a Tesla, the guy taking care of me was very helpful. When he didn't see the size of rear tires (265/35/21) on his computer, he called Michelin in Tokyo. Michelin Japan does not carry that size tire. They have the 265/30/21, but that knocks another chunk off the already low-profile sidewall.
Now I wonder if Tesla will be the only supplier for the tires...
