Got a nail near the firewall, need a new tire (Continental ProContact 255/45 R19 104W). Discount Tire recommends I replace both front tires.
Only 4K miles on the car. Haven't checked thread depth yet.
My understanding of the need to replace two (or all) tires is that as the tire wears, it gets smaller, so
now you've got two wheels on one axle that are rotating at slightly different speeds, which can cause stress to drive components.
But after some research, it would seem that Tesla's open differential would not really be affected by this.
Would you guys but just 1 tire, or 2 or 4 at this point?
Thanks for your input,
