Thanks for the details. I bought my last set from TireRack for $310 each and <$100 install. I may consider another tire in the future. Added your choice to a spreadsheet I started several months back.Glad to hear you got a good set.
No obstacle. I had just left TESLA Orlando on the way home. My visit included a tread check. 48 miles away the tire air warning came on and kept going down. Stopped at 28 PSI to find out that the outer tread had separated from the main tire and steel belt was exposed and shredded. Had to wait for a flat bed. Fortunately I was under the 50 mile range and it was covered, unlike the cost of the two new Continentals at about $400 each. Continental was resolute in not addressing any compensation after weeks and hours of persistence. Have hears similar stories from other TESLA Model X owners (of course it didn't take long for the Continentals to wear out). Later switched to Pirelli All Season Scorpion Verda with 65,000 mile warranty. When I sold my 2016 MODEL X, still had 7 Tread on it with over 20,000 miles logged. Quiet, durable, well handling tire for $220 each.
Unfortunately I have Continentals on my new X. Very important for any new TESLA purchaser to check their tire tread upon delivery of the car. I took the MODEL XD back to TESLA about a two weeks after I owned it to have the LUDICROUS mode downloaded and they did a tread check at 1242 miles. The "new" Continentals read tread depth of 7 all the way around. So, either Continental is selling TESLA a separate tire with less tread for new vehicles or the Continentals wear out faster than a cheetah with it's ass on fire. Just had the tires rotated (side to side) because the edges are wearing rapidly at 10312 miles. Edges are near bare. The Continental Congress has ruled for me. Will get them off of the new Model X at the earliest opportunity, if they don't fall off first.
Buyer beware.
Scorpion™ Verde All Season - SUV and Crossover tire | Pirelli
Guaranteed tread wear of 65K miles.
Any noticeable change with Wh/mile? They are a little heavier and wider. See spec below and Continentals in above post.
Aside from prev post: I'm at 8/32" after 8K miles. I was at 4 or 5/32" after 39K on my first tire change.
