Putting a third set of tires on the Tesla today. Tires seem to last right about 20k miles

Just crossed 40,000 miles today. Car will be 4 years old on March 19.

I wonder if regenerative braking is harder on tires -- nm - rollo Jan 18, 13:08 2

- That might make sense. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 13:09
20? Are you using Formula 1 slicks or are you trying to be the new Drift King? -- nm* - Max Jan 18, 12:52 1

Uhm... that sounds like a problem? *3.5* sets on the MINI and am at 127k miles. Other two will probably be another couple months. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 18, 12:48 6
- Last edit changed the above quite a bit. But the first change was getting rid of the run flats. They still had a ton of life to them. - Spawn Jan 18, 13:01 4
  - why did you get rid of them? The ride? I'm on my second set at 62,000. -- nm - jnine Jan 18, 14:26 1
    - Yeah, that and they don't grip the road very well. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 15:54
  - hmmm, just bought a set last Feb, 40k (they had another 500 miles left I'm sure but was going over mountain passes in the snow, glad I did change them -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 18, 13:03 1
    - Yeah, I was getting closer to that but with covid I did not rotate which is why I ended up with two new ones a couple months ago, and the others still - Spawn Jan 18, 13:06

Eek. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 18, 12:45 1
- Probably due to the insta-torque? But I bet it's bad for the environment to be wearing so quickly. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 13:08
