Tire replacement for 2021 Model S Long Range Plus

[thisishal]

I just had the bad luck of having two of my original tires develop slow leaks. I have 22k miles on these 19" tires. I plan to replace the tires (I don't trust "tire repair").
Question 1: is it better to get new tires from Tesla, or to go to a local tire dealer?
Question 2: I assume Tesla offers one option, but the tire dealer has many. So, any recommendations?
Thanks for any thoughts/insight!

Like tires for Any car. You would rarely go to the original car Dealer as that’s not what they specialize. Go to numerous tire dealers and you’re done. If you want selection advice try on of Dozens of threads on the subject.

Why don’t you trust tire repair? I’ve never had an issue with a repaired tire. Assuming the tires have some miles left you’re just throwing money away. Do you even know what’s causing the leak? Might be a valve?

Never buy tires from any car dealer or service center. Go to a business that specializes in tires. Recommend Discount Tire, better prices, better service, free tire repair and rotation.
