Some advice needed. My rear passenger tire on my Model X got shredded somehow, the inside of the tire is bulging and the metal mesh is poking through. So not safe to drive at all. We don't know when it happened, the damage is not easily visible and the only indication we had was a low pressure warning. The car is safely in the garage and we won't be driving it until it is fixed.
These are the original 20 inch Continental Cross Contact 275/45R20 and I just hit 25K miles after 19 months. The tire depth on all 4 tires is between 3/32 and 4/32, as measured with a cheap tire depth gauge.
I am assuming that at this point I just need to replace all 4? The Orlando Service Center is my SC, does anyone know how much they charge for a new set? Searches on here have yielded $400-$450 per tire for other SC's. I see Tire Rack has them for $288, Discount Tire has them for about $300, comes out to about $345 per tire after insurance, labor, and tax. If I get the wheel off, can I get one tire mounted, then drive there with 1 new tire and 3 old tires without breaking anything?
Does Orlando's mobile service install tires? If not, do they have to flatbed my Model X to the Service Center? Would I get charged for that? I do have a floor jack, and I am sure I could take the tires off myself (after figuring out the jack points), but it is one of those potential savings vs manual labor type things. The Service Center has been backed up lately too, do they prioritize undrive-able type problems? We want our X back drive-able as soon as possible of course.
Thank you for any advice!
