So the big surprise came when I went to change back to the Summer set this past weekend. As you can see in the pictures, it looks like the tire was plugged.
I know that I didn’t do that or have it done. So the question is, did Michelin do this or did Tesla?
I realize there is no way for me to prove that I didn’t do it. But considering I have 9860 miles on the car as of now and you can see by the treadwear on the tire, I think it’s pretty clear that I didn’t put a whole lot of miles on those Michelins. Odds of getting a flat with a couple of hundred miles is not 0% I understand but pretty low.
Unless I checked the tires at time of delivery, I wouldn’t have known until a later time. And to be honest, that’s not even something I thought NEEDED to be checked for.
The tire seems to have held pressure while in storage over the Winter and I don’t think it will be a big problem down the line but just somewhat surprised and frankly disappointed.
Just wanted to get it out there and off my chest.
