WTF - 8000 miles and two tire blowouts

[miamiwise]

2023 Model Y with 8000 miles on OEM Goodyear tires. Two tire blowouts this latest one doesn’t look right. WTF is up with thes Goodyear tires! $1000 in tires in less than 1 year of ownership.

I had nails in both rear tires in my first 10k miles. Both tires had to be replaced.
There is no way to know what you ran over on the road to cause the blowouts. Were your tires at the correct pressure?
*sugar* happens!

42 psi on all 4 tires. First time was a nail, but can’t tell what caused this one. Seems like the tires are too soft. Haven’t gotten a flat tire on my other cars in years. Definitely seems like the tires are prone to this. Going to look at buying a spare so we don’t have to rely on Tesla towing to the dealer and charging $500 for new tires.

I wonder if the very high weight of the cars makes them more prone to picking up nails and such. I recently had my first puncture (a screw) in many decades that have included a lot of driving around construction sites. I sense that people report a really unnatural number of tire punctures in tires on Teslas.

Has nothing to do with the brand

Use a different road

And don’t get towed to Tesla. Tires are available many places.

Are you driving past construction sites on a regular basis? I've adjusted my commute after picking up flats in my other car. There are lots of high rises going up around where I work and they're not always careful.

Teslas are not very high weight compared to many other vehicles of the same type, so that's not the reason. They do have higher tire pressures than most other vehicles of the same type, though.
