Excessive Tire Wear on Cybertruck Dual Motor

[xtreembob]

I got my truck in May with the Pirelli Scorpions. I drive ~25k annually. By 5,500 miles my rear tires were at 3/32. The Tesla Service Center replaced them costing over $1k. The front tires were fine at 7/32. Tesla said they had worn evenly. After another 6,500 miles I took into the shop again and the new rear tires had worn down to 4/32 whereas the front were still at 7/32 so had them rotated. I’m sure that I’ll be burning through another set of tires pretty soon. I used FSD most of the time and have my acceleration set to Chill Mode. I asked Grok and it said many people were having the same issue. Have you found another tire manufacturer that gets better wear than the Pirelli tires?

I have 38 k miles on the goodyears, use mostly fsd, all paved roads. They are almost due for a change and I have been very consistent with rotating them about every 6500 miles.

I’m almost at 10k. no signs of excess wear…

I learned this lesson with my BMW i3 and ModelY. EVs are fun “off the line” and thru the twisties at the expense of tires.

FSD has crappy tip-in, always has..

Easy, smooth tipin and just easy on the acceleration is key… be like Gran-Daddy

CB here sense 9/11/24. good year all terrain. Drove 20k miles before my fist rotate, drove about 16k and had them charged early. 2300$ a set. Guessing I could have gotten 40-45k out of them if I pushed it. This set has 23k on them and only one rotation at 10k, it’s time to rotate again but it’s cold out there and I do it myself.

I’m happy to get 40k out a set. My Car M3P only got 25k

You should get the alignment checked, that's obviously not normal.

Can you share the specs on the tires you have so I can check them out. Thanks!

Whatever the Foundation Series Goodyear tires the truck came with. Not sure exact name off the top of my head

Grok is an idiot. I got 42,000 mi out of my OEM tires and they were at three and four millimeters.

I think it depends on where you live and the type of driving you do. I just replaced my OEM AT tires at 21,000 miles. Not because I had to, but because I was going into another winter and the OEMs were not cutting it in the snow anymore. One snowstorm was all it took for me to realize I needed new tires. Riding on BF Goodrich KO3s now. They are far superior to OEM in my opinion. The OEM ATs were slipping in a few inches of powder. They didn’t do that last year, but they did wear quickly and now I’m more confident in the bad weather. I’d rather spend $2k on new tires than much much more on body work for a slide into xyz after a brief snowfall. I don’t live in an area that’s worth a separate set of winter tires, but one snowfall a year is enough to warrant a new set. From what I have read, tire wear on stock Tesla tires is common, if not the standard. But I follow the Boy Scout creed, I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it

I was researching because mine is due very soon. for normal road use All Season, Michelin Defender LTX Platinum for best mile, efficiency and road noise. for off road All Terrain, BF Goodrich T/K KO3.

9/32 rear
10/32 front
Pirelli Scorpion / Core wheels
4k miles - some towing 5k load on dirt roads; mostly highway and FSD miles.

As with all my vehicles, will rotate every 5k miles
