Hi all. I am running Continental DWS06+ on my Model Y 19" wheels. They have about 7800 miles on them and they've been great. I drive pretty conservatively and run 38-40 PSI. I just took some tread wear measurements:
Fronts: 10/32 outside; 9/32 middle; 8/32 inside
Rears: 9/32 outside; 8/32 middle; 7/32 inside
So the tread wear is consistent across all the tires, just a little more worn on the insides (the fronts are more like 8.5/32 on the inside). The DWS06 come with 10/32, so the outsides have almost no wear, especially the fronts.
1) Does the 2/32 inside/outside difference seem excessive? I understand the car has a negative camber from the factory, 0.5 degree front and 1 degree rear (non-adjustable) which will cause more inside wear. Just couldn't find what others have reported as a typical inside/outside depth difference.
2) Do you guys recommend getting a rotation even though I'm only at 1/32 difference in front/rears?
Tesla SC did an alignment about a year ago after a drive unit replacement, so I would be surprised if the alignment is off. I'd like to avoid giving an SC my car if possible. I got my tires at Discount Tire so I'll be taking it there for rotations. According to DT's website, some of their locations do alignments... has anyone here had DT do a Tesla alignment?
