Does Tesla service do alignments at no charge or is that extra?
You only got 14k out of your tires? You must be tracking a little bit?? I'm have 23.5k miles on my Contis and almost at the wear bars... will probably buy a new set around Xmas or New YearI am on my second set of Hankooks and find them to be as good as OEM at half the price. Just make sure you get proper mount/balance/align and rotate regularly. I got about 14k miles out of last set for under $1000 (and probably had 15% left on fronts).
Best,

By the way: if you're paying $0.10 per kWh for electricity that comes out to about $0.04 per mile on average for juicing the car. The tires cost nearly 2x that much per mile!
Very interesting. I didn't realize that I could use other tires sizes other than the 265/35/R21 for the staggers rears. So could someone list a range of tire sizes I could use on the staggard rear rims on my soon to be delivered P85D?

It depends on the specific tire. Take a look at this page for the Hankook evo2s.

click "specs" and then look in the "Rim Width Range" column for your size rims. If you have a P85 with 8.5" rims, looks like you can go up to 255s for this specific tire. May vary for other tires, wheel sizes, profile, etc.

There are perhaps many more options than are known, but general rules are if it doesn't rub, and the front/rear diameter stays real close, you can mix and match.
Not diameter, revs per mile. They are not the same. Diameter is for clearance. Revs per mile is for gearing.
Judging by those pictures you are in desperate need of a proper alignment. That kind of wear pattern is not normal!A week ago I replaced all for on my factory installed tires after 7 months and 18,000 miles (2014 P85+) with the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 275/30R21 rear and 245/35R21 in the front. The fronts were at about 50% wear and the rears were showing cord on the inner edge due to the camber setup (see pics). I bought them from Amazon for about $800 for all 4, and had them installed at local shop for $70. I kept the fronts in because they were still good.
I think the ride is better, they are definitely quieter, performance seems the same to me, and I am averaging about 310 wh mile down from 334 from the first 18,000 miles. I drive a pretty standard daily drive so i think the energy savings is right.
At this point i would buy them again, but going to wait and see how long they last and how they continue to perform.
