I’m hoping someone here might be able to give me some advice. I have a M3P with the 20” Uberturbine wheels and when cleaning the vehicle a few weeks ago I noticed a very slight bulge in one of the front tyres and thought to myself that’s odd and must get that looked at. When cleaning the car last week I noticed a bigger bulge on the other front tyre.
I am well aware these are usually caused by kerbs/potholes and general poor roads however this car certainly hasn’t met a kerb and to my knowledge hasn’t gone down what I would consider a pothole big enough to cause damage.
Now the car has just been into Tesla and the surface of the rims have zero damage, not even a kerb scuff. The SC claims they have looked at the wheels on their balancing machine and although they are not out of balance, that do seem to be warped. Interesting not warped enough to need a replacement wheel but are blaming the tyre bulge on damage to the wheel.
I have driven 100,000’s miles in some vehicles with lower profile tyres than these and never had this sort of an issue. It’s made worse by the fact that both front tyres have a bulge and not sure about anyone else, but I have not seen many pot holes in the middle of the road.
Has anyone got experience of the same issues or have I just been incredibly unlucky?
