I just purchased (in person) what appear to be two brand new Model X tires from "Random Goods," 29300 Pacific Street, Hayward, CA 94544 (south of Oakland; SF Bay Area of California, USA). They have more available; they are listed on eBay, (New Continental Tires) and can be shipped. I am not a tire expert, but as near as I can tell these have all the characteristics of being new, unused Model X front tires from 2020 (see photos):
This is my first experience with this Bay Area company. They are normally open Monday-Friday, 10:30 am to 4:30 PM. Hopefully the tires are OK (and not defective). I didn't notice any defects on tread, sidewalls, foam, and beads. But as always, use appropriate caution. My business with them is complete. I'm just passing this info along in case anyone else can benefit from what I hope is a good deal (I paid $500 for two). Unfortunately, they did not have tires in the 2020 Model X rear size (275/45R20 110V XL). But perhaps this tire size is good for any Model X cars that happen to have four wheels all the same size?
You can send the company a message via eBay. Ask for Omar, one of the employees. He was helpful. I imagine they will be motivated to liquidate the remaining Tesla tires, as they are not their normal merchandise.
- Continental Cross Contact LX Sport model
- Characteristic red dot (lightest point on tire)
- "Inside" and "Outside" sidewalls
- M+S (mud and snow rated)
- Size/rating: 265 / 45R20 108V XL
- Radial & tubeless (of course)
- Made in Portugal
- Tesla-approved "T0" symbol. (Other car makers may use use this tire brand/model/size, albeit with different ratings and sidewall designations.)
- Maximum load: 2205 lbs.
- DOT manufacturing date: 38th week of 2020
- Conti Silent version (with acoustic foam)
- Colored ink lines around circumference of the tread (which I trust indicates no usage)
- Characteristic ~9/32" (new) tread depth
