Tire Changes at what miles?

With pressures at 51 PSI two tires made it to almost 50k miles the other two were out by 40k when I disabled auto lowering because it was scrubbing the insides of the tires.
I marked the actual miles in the trip meter before my service center infuriatingly reset my lifetime and tire counters. (I updated the names with the miles each change and after the battery swap [and meter reset] named the lifetime to battery lifetime) will check next time I'm in the car

For those who put 40K+ miles on their tires, you guys never do jackrabbit 0-45mph in the stoplight? My guess is you guys take the slow acceleration almost always.

Often blasting it out but rarely more than 5 or 10 over the speed limit, higher cold pressure ,smooth turns and stops etc.
Really depends on the tire and the roads and your driving style. When driving carefully and on smooth roads you can get 45k miles out of a good set but that's probably the limit. I usually get between 30k and 40k miles. Do your tire rotations! Definitely helps.
How?! I've had my continentals on my Audi last 15k. And that's me driving 160 mph once. They lasted 25k on my vw gti.
Continentals have terrible tread wear.

Changed my first Michelin MXM4+ at 55000 miles. On my second set(Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ now with 35000 miles and still look good.
I don't blast off the line but I don't hold back either. On/off ramps I will push to the limit because I can. Very little actual brake use for whatever difference that makes. The car is treated like a Luxury utility vehicle: compost; dishwasher; sundry furniture; light fixtures; etc. Don't know how that may affect tire wear but thought I would throw it out there. Plus, for a year and a half, Michigan roads frequently.

@Dukeybootie I like the Pilot Sport A/S 3+. They are designed for exotic sports cars according to one site. What's more exotic or sporty than a Tesla? I think they corner better and they have a higher speed rating (I know: that's like looking for a food item that expires in 2 years and 3 months instead of one that expires in 1 year and 11 months when I know it will be consumed in less than 30 days). The higher speed rating some how gives me greater confidence. They both sell within a few dollars of each other at Costco.
The Model S and I believe the Model X have a fixed camber on the rear wheels. If you don't do tire rotations, you end up wearing the inner side of the tire out faster.
I had those and didn't like them at all. They didn't last longer than the Michelin MXM4. They had worse traction, and the ride wasn't as good. I hope they will do better on your car. I think Pirelli is a great brand, but those tires and the Model S don't go together.

Not always (see post #28). I have fun with the car but not every start is 0-45. I just assumed the high milage was because I keep the pressure set and checked with nitrogen, rotate on schedule, and I have a D model.

S75 RWD, with original Goodyear tires, rotated around 12k, right rear tires almost bald at 14k miles, two front tires look like have another 15k miles left.
A Costco guy suggested to me that particular tire might be unbalanced from factory although I don't feel its unbalanced. Does someone else had similar experience? If I should make a tread life warranty claim, do I go to Tesla service center or call Goodyear?

Wow you guys are amazing for going over 40K+ miles.
I had to change my tires a few weeks ago at 27,000 miles as service man said they need to be changed or it is dangerous to drive with low tread tires.

Our 2012 S P85 initially burned through tires much faster than every 25K miles (likely too many fast starts and taking turns to aggressively...).
For our 2017 S 100D, we just replaced our first set of tires at our 25K mile maintenance visit, though we might have been able to stretch those tires a few K more miles.
