Due to wear, had to replace all 4 tires on S 100D at 18300 miles! Conservative driver.
The Goodyear’s that come on the 19 in wheels usually last 18,000 - 28,000 miles. MXV Michelin usually good for 40,000 or so.
Thanks Scott for a real answer. Mystery solved.Puzzled about your Tesla tire wear?. It's not just about torque. It's primarily the introductory tires.
From a 40,000 mile review of a Model 3:
By 30,000 miles, the original Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires were shot. We often get twice as many miles on all-season tires, but rapid tire wear is something that's a common topic on Model 3 owner's forums. A major part of the issue is that the Tesla version of these tires start with 1.5 32nds of an inch less tread depth than the off-the-shelf MXM4s.
The photo below is taken at the delivery of my first Model Y. Although it might not sound like much, that's 20-25 percent less usable tread depth. In my experience, OEM tires were unsafe before 20,000 miles in the case of three new TESLAs. Like you, I thought it must be the torque.
Someone on the forum said, "All OEM tires have less tread." Not true. It is true that some manufacturers specify soft rubber on OEM tires.
How long should OEM tires last? As a general rule, the original tires on a new vehicle or quality replacement tires should last up to 50,000 miles.
Replacing the OEMs after wear, with Pirelli All-Season tires brought me over 40,000 miles in all cases with the same torque, of course.
Cost shaving: So, it costs Tesla less to buy OEM tires, because they are manufactured with less rubber. It costs you more to replace them sooner. Another profit-mongering way to pass costs on to the consumer (Bean Counters Rule). Great for the stock, but not so great for you. Introductory tires. You know, it's like introductory cartridges on the HP printer. But the printer doesn't cost over $60k. Hmm, no introductory charging cable tho? Just Nada. Beware: They are getting bolder. Are introductory brakes next? (Damn, I shouldn't give them ideas.)
I'm sorry, but that's a ridiculous oversimplification. "Performance" tires are NEVER gonna last 50K miles.As a general rule, the original tires on a new vehicle or quality replacement tires should last up to 50,000 miles.
