I have a 2018 Model 3 Perf with 37K miles and I have a second set of OEM Michelin Pilot 4S tires on the car. Following the recommended interval of 6,250 miles for a tire rotation, I scheduled a Tesla mobile service visit to have the tire rotation done at my home.
The Tesla tech took out a tool and measured the tread wear. He said that because I have a dual motor model, the tread wear on all the tires is exactly the same and there is no need for a tire rotation. He said he could proceed with the tire rotation if I wanted it, but he didn't think it was necessary since the tread wear was even. He said I should have the tread wear rechecked in another 5-6K miles.
I appreciate his honesty, as well as him saving me $65. But I just wanted to make sure that what he told me was accurate. Is it true that if the tread wear is even on the front and back tires that a rotation is not necessary? If it was your Tesla, would you also pass on the tire rotation?
Thanks,
Joe
