This is Why Tesla Tires are So Expensive (Another Flat)

In this video I show why Tesla Tires cost so much more than the equivalent tire. In my specific case I saved $100 by not going with the foam insert tires Tesla recommends. I will report back later if there is any difference in noise. This is my report back and there is no difference in noise.

    Glad I was able to help get you back on the road! See that the tire did good going back cross country. Next time you need anything done to your tesla, I'll be glad to help when your back near Greensburg!

    The right rear is the most punctured tire on cars ,It reflects driving behavior,While turning making adequate clearance from curbs and gutters sometimes favoring the right portion of the lane as well,Trash and debris gather near the curb

    I had a left (drivers side) rear tire that was loosing air about every two weeks. Hit a board and had two holes in the tire from nails I am guessing.Replaced the tire. Still had a slow leak. I sprayed the tire with soapy water and found a slow leak in the rim. The part of the seam where it was welded. Went to the dealer and had them inspect it. Then they replaced under warranty. Thought I would mention this.

    Get smaller rims and higher profile tires. Problem solved.

    Apart from the sidewall damage. Those tires have almost no more tread, so expect for it to get easily puncture. I know, since I normally run my tires to very low tread and having a few holes. Also, if you have any cordless tools get a cordless inflator, they are so much better. I use Ryobi wireless tools since am cheap, so I have a few batteries and I bought the wireless Dual Function inflator/deflator and I love it. Having a wireless inflator that you can set the tire pressure so it automatically stop, makes it so much easier and less of a hassle to keep your tires inflated properly. Also, on gas car they normally tell you to rotate the tires on every oil change, which is what I do. So I rotate my tires every 6months, since I change my own oil. When I have an EV, I will be doing the same thing. Rotating the tires every 6months and then cleaning or replacing air filters every year during inspections.l

    I agree with the last person. I bought the pucks from Amazon, not expensive at all. Comes in handy if want to rotate your own tires as well

    I stopped buying low profile tyres 20 years ago, now I just want as much rubber as possible between my rims & the road!

    Offer Up dude. I have 13 model 3 rims collected since 2018. The foam makes a huge difference. Carry pucks people, and a compressor.

    Just buy tires with Road hazard warranties! Firestone, Bridgestone or Continental would just replace those!

    I didn’t think I would notice a difference having the tires without the foam. I absolutely did pretty much as soon as I had them put on. Fortunately America’s Tire allows you to exchange the tires within 30 days. I took them back the next day and replaced with tire with foam and all was good. It’s hard to explain the noise but I did notice a difference. Most people I have heard can’t tell the difference. I wish I couldn’t either cause it would save me a ton of money.

    So I might if missed it but was the tire with no foam a lot louder? Did you notice a difference?

    I read in the Tesla forums, before ordering my 2017 Model S, that the low profile 21” tires were having more problems and were more expensive to replace then the 19” tires. My car came with 19” Goodyear tires. It seemed that I was frequently topping off the air pressure to the recommended 45 psi. At around 35,000 miles I got several flats and a slow leak over the course of several months. I finally got fed up, and replaced the 4 tires with 19” Michelin’s. I had always had good luck with Michelin tires. After a year and a half and over 15,000 miles the tires stay at the recommended psi level and the last annual checkup by Tesla stated there was little wear on the tires.

    When I got my winter tires I called up a couple local tire places (Discount Tire being one) they wanted me to bring in my own pucks and seemed a bit unsure about dealing with a Tesla, so I brought it to Tesla to change out my tires (I put the winter tires on the stock wheels, got new wheels for 3 season). Now I can just do all my tire rotations and changing at home and if I have a problem with one I will just take it off myself and throw on the other tire temporarily to take it in. Dealing with tires can be such a pain, so much waiting, transportation being an issue...love having 2 full sets!

    I have a model y performance, I'm a volvo technician, I put my car without jack pack with no problem on the lift to do my own tires. A lot of the volvo cars have foam inside too, when we repair them, we just remove the foam if it doesn't stick anymore. You just having bad luck with tires not tesla. Can't believe people think this tire are only meant for tesla. I fixed a lot of non tesla tires and some have foam too, NOT only tesla.

    The tread comparison was really helpful to me. I just bought some induction wheels and tires off CL to replace ubertines. Seller said tires had less than 1000 miles when he swapped them for tsportline 19”, but I'm no expert at estimating tire wear. Did my best and they looked pretty good, so trusted the guy. This comparison confirmed for me that he was being honest.

    I've seen a lot of crap stuck in car tires, but never a wooden stick!
