Epic Fail! - Cyberbeast - Tires shot at 6251 miles!!!

[Outdoors]

The way they're crumbling isn't consistent the flaking and ribbon of melt you get from high speed, constant use, tho.

Thermal cycling could do that, too, but that would be only doing launches on cold tires and them letting them freeze again.

Yet if one launches even a couple times in poor temps or conditions one can have a bad tire experience. Obvious from OP. Knows nothing about tires.

My tires deserve to get a warranty. I contacted Goodyear. Nothing for OEM. I want one. So turn to Tesla when my pocketbook is empty. So sad someone trying to bend Tesla for a set of tires.

Tires are expensive. And a set that have corrosion is a pretty bad hit to someone.

Have some sympathy.

You made this same post a year ago. Twice in two different threads. Once you see that photo one doesn't forget it. If I recall you bought the tires used. You don't get warranties and there's might be a reason why you bought them from somebody and they failed.

NO, no, no, it must be the English language, these Cooper tires, I bought brand spankin new, and I put 40 miles on them before the side walls decided to pack it in........... I never buy used tires.......

I swapped out the factory Goodyears at 1400 miles, still have them for sale for a great price.
The AT tires by Mickey Thompson I installed are also wearing faster than usual, I expect to change them 15-20k miles. Toys aren’t cheap.

How much are you asking for tires and whereabouts are you located?

Please don’t tell me we need to change CT tires every 7K miles with just normal city and highway driving! All the savings on ICE maintenance will go in just replacing the tires. My BMW flat tires last for at least 30K and Porsche lasted for 40K!

Could other CT owners please share their data points for CT? I know it varies a lot based on the driver and driving mode, but it’ll be good to get an approximate ballpark on the longevity of CT tires. I hope it’s better than 7K miles!!

No, you don't. This came up with 3's and Y's as well. How you drive, rotations, and maintaining alignment makes a difference. I got 40k on my first set of tires on a model 3. I'm 5k in on my cybertruck an they look nothing like this. If you are launching, smoking the tires, and/or don't rotate, you might have problems.

 

[HaulingAss]

25K is acceptable. 6K to 7K is outrageous.

Are all four of your tires wearing at similarly fast rates?

 

[Stuck4ger]

Yeah, I have newly 8,000 miles on my Beast. Tons of beast-mode demos and about 25 miles off road. Tires still look great.

Have they been rotated? If not how do you see the rear vs front tire wear?

I have not rotated them and they all look about the same.

 

[HaulingAss]

I've noticed the Dual Motor is wearing the tires incredibly evenly, both from front to back and also side to side. That means extended tire rotations, at least for the Dual Motor Cybertrucks.

But yeah. Your Cyberbeast tires look a lot newer than mine when I swapped the OEMs out for my winter setup when they had 4K miles. They were down to 7mm of tread depth remaining. If I run them down to 3 mm, I'll only get about 8K out of them. But that's what the rural chip seal roads I mostly drive on, combined with off-roading, do to all my tires. Chip seal is made with sharp angular rocks, rocks that don't get polished smooth by high traffic volume, and they cause millions of micro cuts in the rubber, when driven hard and/or with heavy loads. And the off-roading causes deeper cuts in the rubber. The two together conspire to cause the rubber to erode away astonishingly quickly.

But they probably shouldn't wear as quickly as what the OP reported, without some seriously hard usage, unless they were defective from the tire factory.

But I just made an appointment to

Get an inexpensive tread depth gauge. That way you can accurately measure your tread depth, both from front to rear tires, and also from the sides of the tread to the center (to judge if you are running the correct pressure for your typical driving conditions). If the center is wearing too fast compared to the sides, it means too much air pressure, and the converse.

We have our truck since June, and I would say from what I have seen the tires look similar to ours in this thread. Not a beast.

lol is it “Tesla tires”
Or is it the tire company ? Go with different tires! ? you all try so hard. I changed to the Toyo AT111 500
Miles in the same ones that lasted over 50 on both my other trucks. Not a Tesla thing it’s a tire thing ! I’ve never kept a tire a car or truck came with for a second round !

At 6251 miles the H speed rated tire on the Cyberbeast is down to 5/32 and 4/32 with irregular degradation.

Got my Cyberbeast on June 25th. Truck has always been driven ONLY on streets and highways. Never taken off road. Never hit top speed of 132 mph. Yes did experience the beast mode and 0 to 60 in 2.6 a few times.
Yesterday I was going to go to get tires rotated as recommened in the manual at 6250. Truck is a t 6251 miles AND.... I noticed tread is low.

I measured it. 5/32 on rears and 4/32 on fronts. WOW! That's insane!

I did some research and the H speed rated tire has a sticker rubber. But for it to last just 6K to 7K miles on the Cybebeast has to be a manufacturing defect. These tires are specially made for the Cybebeast so for them to be this bad is unforgivable. I have an appointment on Oct 1st to discuss this with TESLA.

Check out the photos at 6251 miles.

sorry to tell you this, but this has been the case with any tire brand worth driving on with my Model S for 11 years. I don’t think it will prove to be a manufacturing defect. I think heavy vehicles with insane torque chew through tires if they are soft enough to have safe traction. Yes that sucks. And there are trade offs. I tried touring tires instead of extreme performance all weather tires once on my MS. At 200 miles i got rid of them because they were straight up unsafe on dry roads with that much torque and weight on curvy mountain roads with steep inclines. Just my experience. After 11 years with 2 BEVs the one thing that is way more expensive other than the up front purchase price is tire replacements. All other maintenance and fuel has been way cheaper… until you have to replace the battery pack. Even a motor replacement is cheaper than many IC engines by a significant margin. But the tires were my biggest surprise. I have gone from brand new new to a dead set of 4 tires in six and a half months once (continental DWS) with my car. It was tough to find the balance between safety and performance and tread life but eventually i bit the bullet and i keep buying the grippier tires because traction is non-negotiable but it will hit your wallet and burn through tires in ways you would never believe converting from an ICE to a BEV… and I’d STILL never go back. Totally worth it IMHO.

FWIW

Cheers
