Hmm. Just found this thread and replaced my rears not too long ago when I discovered my passenger side looked like this. I thought I ran over something.

The PS4S tires are asymmetric so they have a different tread pattern on the inside vs the outside. They can turn in either direction so the back wheels can be rotated from side to side (no specific direction of rotation). However, asymmetric tires *do* have a specified inside and outside written on the sidewalls, so you cannot swap the tires on the rims to extend life after you wear down the inside edge. At least not officially and without sacrificing performance. Also, the inside sidewall definitely lacks the pretty aesthetics of the outside sidewall.Flip meaning, flip the rear tires around on the rim.. they arent directional, so it doesnt affect anything..
I got the tread depth warning in the UI. How do you tell it'll actually be a problem enough to pay for service? And if the fix doesn't happen, what'll happen to your tire?
Can someone with a damaged tire take a picture of the inside of the tire next to the foam, approximately where the red line is in the attached picture?
I would love to see if there's any damage on the inside compared to the outside.

Did it lose air?I have the damaged tire in the hatch of my MSP currently. I inspected the inside of the tire and there is no visible damage, so no pic necessary. The outside had the same inner tread delineation as everyone else
But the inside wasn't damaged?
I told you this in previous post. No
If you don't change out your tire when it's worn down, it will come apart, just like all the other ones in this thread.I got the tread depth warning in the UI. How do you tell it'll actually be a problem enough to pay for service? And if the fix doesn't happen, what'll happen to your tire?
Not sure a single person has blamed it on operator error. It's an alignment problem and for some reason people want to blame the tires instead of the alignment.Just had this happen on both rears. Had new ones put on by Tesla. Took tires to less shwab and got michelin to refund 60% I'll post pics. Always at 42, portable pump in car. I don't know why there are so many people on this forum acting like it's an operator error. The rep at Tesla kinda let on that this is happening to everyone. Someone's going to get seriously injured or killed.
Yikes. How big are those wheels?Not 21's but yet another flat bed due to uneven tire wear. Had to spend 2 nights in a Holiday Inn waiting for replacement rear tires. This is my 3rd model s and all have had this issue, so I even look regularly at the inner sidewalls and still got stranded.

Why haven't you just had the camber arms installed and had it realigned? The arms are less than the cost of 2 rear tires.Not 21's but yet another flat bed due to uneven tire wear.

22's (My Mods Thread here)Yikes. How big are those wheels?
Because I had camber arms on my '13 and 2020 and these cars still destroy tires on the sidewall. The Palladium made some suspension design changes that led to less neg camber in the rear and I was able to get 27k miles out of these tires. For me that's plenty. I have not seen enough data on the new camber arms (2021+) to make it worth messing with the suspension.Why haven't you just had the camber arms installed and had it realigned?
