The tire company made a mistake and put the rear tires (275/45) on the front and the front tires (265/45) on the rear of our 2021 tesla x when we switched from snow tires back to all season (continental cross contact sport LX) in March 2022. The tires currently have 20k miles on them, expected life is 40k. We didn’t realize the mixup until now.
Both rear tires had wires showing on the inside edge and an uneven wear pattern. On our way to a different tire shop to get them replaced, one of them blew. The original tire shop that made the mixup is claiming this is normal wear and not due to the fact that they put the narrower front tires on the back and the wider rear tires on the front. Does anyone have experience/knowledge about this? They told me that teslas wear tires faster so it was normal wear. They said this without even seeing the tires.
