Hi Everyone,
I recently got new wheels and all season tires for my Model 3 performance, roughly 600 miles on them, and I hit a pretty big pothole this morning and the tire pressure immediately dipped to 32. I inflated the tires back up to Tesla's recommendation of 42 PSI for the cold. After about 15-20 minutes of driving I started to feel a vibration coming from the rear left wheel at highway speeds, and I also heard an audible noise coming from the same wheel, and the tire dropped to 36 PSI.
I looked at the rear tire/wheel after I got out and I couldn't see any visual damage to the wheel or tire. I can have both the wheel and tire replaced for free as they are both covered under warranty.
Should I just replace both the wheel and tire?
