Tire specs on the new high efficiency Model X

[Rathnak]

Hello, I tried to post this in another thread but because of the lack of response i thought i’d Post here. I have a x 90D with almost bald tires and been waiting to hear more about the new tires on the redesigned X. since it seems the new tires add additional effficiency i am hoping maybe it will add a few miles. Anyone know what is the new tire and if anyone got their hands on it?

Here is a quote from the blog about this:
“To complement these changes, we’ve also re-engineered several other components of Model S and Model X in keeping with our philosophy of continuous improvement. These updates include new wheel bearings and a few new tire designs for certain variants to improve range, ride, and steering.”

Brando, I understand your intentions but here is what the service center told me before i opened a thread here:
Here is the last response I got from Indianapolis Service Center:
At this time we do not have any internal information on the new tires for the Model X. As soon as we have that information we can certainly provide that to you.

@redgt Thanks, you are right, they still have life left and wanted to get this info sooner than later so I can potentially get the redesigned ones. I was hoping someone who bought the car can take a pic of it or provide any further info.

Thanks,
RK

Well, you could just go over there sometime and ask to take a look at the tires on an about to be delivered vehicle. I am sure they could find one to look at. Maybe even an after hours excursion through the lot might do the trick. I’d be surprised if there is any difference yet.

nice pic. made in the 46th week of 2018

sure looks identical to the pre refresh tires but maybe someone will notice something different?

Those appear to be the same tires that came on my early 2017 MX. I replaced them after about 27K miles.

Many manufacturers have their tires custom spec'd for them from the major tire manufacturers.

Not sure, but perhaps Tesla just is having Continental or Michelin tweek their specs to get lower rolling resitance or slightly changing a rubber compound.

Official word, however, not available yet.
