Need a new tire on 2024 M3LR already - okay to get just one Michelin Primacy MXM4?

[Adam Blaiss]

Okay, so less than 500 miles on my 2024 M3LR and I've already picked up a nail in a tire. Discount Tire supposedly patched it but I doesn't look like it held. So I'm thinking I may have to get a new tire already. Looking at Discount Tire, I don't think they have Michelin Primacy A/S T0 that seems to be what my vehicle came with. But they do have the Michelin Primacy MXM4 T1. Does this matter if I get one of those and not in pairs? Where can I even get the Michelin Primacy A/S T0? I'd really just like everything as the originals but maybe that's not going to be an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don’t want to be mixing and matching tires

Believe me, I don't want to, but what is my option here? I'm not sure where/if I can get the original tire. I guess maybe Tesla but they are quoting 3 weeks before they can see the car and they are generally pointing me towards Discount Tire anyway. Although maybe I can do roadside assistance or something.

Ask for a replacement tire with the parts department, pick it up and pay to have it mounted at DT. But first I would go back to DT and have them attempt a second repair. A more experienced tech might do a better job.

Which size, 18" or 19"

You did not state rhe 32nds of tread left

If you go new, do at least two matching on same front or back but the old ones that will stay need to be high 32nds of tread
If you go used, easily found online, same do pair, and go for used tread depth as close to what’s staying on the car

He can get just a new tire. It's only 500 miles. However it should be the same model as the other 3 tires.

Have them do the patch again. It could just be a bad job the first time. They can drill out the first patch and redo.
