Rotated my wheels and took rear tire wear measurements after 4500 miles

What is the rear axel weight of the gt3?

Price is now $1633. If you can reduce front axel wear and tires and plan to drive it a long time think 3 more sets of tires. I think it’s probably worth the investment. Otherwise drop the the front, do an alignment and call it a day.

Last time I corner weighted and aligned the GT3 it's about 650F/1050R. A little lighter than the X lol.

Still on the fence, but I might cut a set of toe links and press some bearings in and start there. I know I have an old camber arm at the shop, but I don't think I have an old toe link. Honestly, I am less concerned about the rubber than I am annoyed with the noise. As the insides have worn unevenly it the noise is substantial.

Short term, come summer I might flip the tires as well to use the basically new outside rubber.

Alignment measured in standard settings or low? In my opinion it seems you have some more wear on the inside of the rear tires but difficult to judge from the photos.

Yes, aligned and driven in low. All of the wear is coming from the rears. The fronts have some wear, but they were previously located in the rear.

Have a road trip coming up so I decided to swap my winters for my most of seasons. The Hakkapeliittas are excellent cold weather tires and interestingly enough my average energy consumption over the winter was 381 Wh/mi.

My all season tires have just under 17k with significant inner tire wear with both rears needing to be replaced. I flipped the tires from passenger to driver so now the inner tires are on the outside. If all works out I should see another 15-17k for a total of 30k+ on these. These tires were originally $800 shipped a few years ago but everything has gone up so I figured I might as well give this experiment a try. If I can get 30k on a set of tires just by flipping them I may skip adjustable toe and camber parts entirely.

Putting Model S 19" Slipstreams on my Model X Performance.

Hello all. I've got a 2019 Model X Performance, and I keep having problems with my stock 20" Slipstream wheels. 1.) They keep getting warped, I suspect due to the poor roads (potholes and the like) 2.) They're easy to curb 3.) The tires are noisy. etc. etc. I was thinking to go down to 19"...
