Rear Tire Tread Warning

[butterfly27]

Hi,

I replaced both rear tires (stock) with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and I still have the warning of rear tire uneven tread depth. I drove it for like 50 miles and the warning disappeared for a week. And now its back.

How is this even possible, and how to remove this warning?

On the car's service menu are two options for wheels-- TPMS reset and wheel config. Did you try one of those options?

no it didn't. the only thing that worked was a power off of the system, wait for 3 or so minutes, and open the door. the message finally disappeared. holding down the 2 wheel buttons also did not work.

okay the error message is back! after having disappeared for a few days. im calling the tire shop to find out what they say - but its a 3rd party shop...so im expecting disappointment and probably blame on Tesla.

The tire shop wouldn't have much to do with it...

Poor implementation of a Tesla feature. Report the bug or put in a service request?

 

[cypho]

Are you sure it is a bug? Have you checked to make sure that there isn't actually a problem with the tires or the alignment?

If it comes and goes with no change (besides a few miles of driving) then yes, I would say that is a bug.

I had the message come on after one of the recent updates, drove for <10 miles, it went away, and I haven't seen it since (500+ miles and 1 month later).

i still have the warning and cannot get rid of it! super annoying. esp when i sell this - i need to explain why my car cannot get rid of this message, and other people apparently can. the only thing left i can possibly think of is simply to disconnect the battery from the system.

Could poor alignment trigger it?

I had this pop up several months ago. I rotated the tires, front to back, and then after 50-100 miles the annoying warning went away.

The rears were definitely more worn than the fronts when I got the warning message. Now after the rotation, no warning message.

 

[butterfly27]

yeah, we still can't get rid of this message. Our rear tires are brand new. the front ones are more worn though.

I have the same problem with a set four completely new winter tires. These are Nokian R5. I cannot use the Tesla recommended winter tires because they are just not good enough for the winters and steep driveway I have at 8,500 ft elevation in the Rockies. I tried, and was not able to get out from my driveway until I I completely removed the snow. With Nokians I have no problems. The 'uneven tread' message is quite annoying. Please let me know if you hear of any solution.

I have R3s, no problems with the "uneven thread" message. Have you reset your tire settings to winter tires in the service section of the infotainment?
