OK I’ve delayed putting this one up because it just sounds so strange but, my old model S didn’t do this but my new one does. When I’m backing out of my driveway and turn the wheel sharply, I get a crunchiness under my front wheels like the wheels are turning on sharp bits of gravel or rocks. It’s quite loud and makes a popping sound. I’ve got 21s on the car with Michelin pilot sport 4 or 4s I can’t remember. My wife has asked a couple of times if something is wrong with the car.

It’s only at slow speeds pulling out of parking spots, not usually going into them.

I was going to put my 19 snow package from my 2015 P85DL on this car and I guess that would tell me if it’s the tires or not, but I’m not sure if those will fit on the plaid?
Any ideas guys?

Thanks for reading and your help as always!
