Hello all,
My model Y performance has 16,000 miles. Within the past week I’ve noticed this rather predictable knock/rubbing directly under my drivers floorboard area when turning the wheel 9 or 3 at low speeds.
And I was hoping maybe a tire rotation would help, as well as of course have a technician on site that I could pry for information. Anyways, the technician said the tires were just fine BUT that my performance model had the wrong size tires on the front, being 275, rather than 255. He showed me the sticker in the door jamb and everything. That is how mine came when I picked it up.
A few questions. Is this a common occurrence? I don’t see any obvious signs of where the front tire is rubbing the wheel well, so do not think the sound is directly related to that. With that being said, my tires are in great condition and have hardly any wear.
He already put in a call to get them swapped out for the correct size, hell now I’m wondering if I should even do that?
Any ideas about this knocking sound? The alignment seems fine- obviously concerning though anytime you have a sound you know doesn’t belong. And no, it’s not anything about the battery- it’s very specifically triggered when the wheel hits a certain point while turning- and that’s the only time.
