When Tesla last (once) changed a tire for us, they were able to change a single tire. We have also reached out to Tesla for guidance and still hope to hear back. I am wondering if anyone has any insights to share. The tire shop stated that while they offer a warranty of 40k miles for this exact tire, the manufacturer tires (same manufacturer, model, everything) used by Tesla are inferior and will not last 40k miles. I also asked the tire shop about the tire’s life, which is for the exact same tire make & model as Tesla’s manufacturer tires. This is even though we indicated that we would prefer to have a Tesla center look at the remaining three tires and we would be ok with just a temporary repair since we’d like Tesla’s opinion. They will replace four at once, or none at all. Importantly, the tire shop maintains that they will not repair only a single tire. When asked, the tire shop said that one has 5/32 tread and also needs to be replaced. In fact, one of these tires was replaced 9 months ago by Tesla. Once the car was at the tire shop, we received a call stating that the car’s four tires has low tread (4/32) and all four needed to be replaced. We found such a shop and the car is now there, though the tires will only be there four days later. Tesla offered (thankfully) to have us towed to a tire shop in the area, provided it carries the exact same tire as Tesla’s manufacturer tires. As it is, the nearest Tesla service center is 109 miles away. Tesla has Roadside Assistance and would usually take us to the nearest Tesla service center, though only within 50 miles.
We have a leased Tesla MY, with 10 months to go on the lease, 32k miles.
