Epic Fail! - Cyberbeast - Tires shot at 6251 miles!!!

[Bill Hull]

L

At 6251 miles the H speed rated tire on the Cyberbeast is down to 5/32 and 4/32 with irregular degradation.

Got my Cyberbeast on June 25th. Truck has always been driven ONLY on streets and highways. Never taken off road. Never hit top speed of 132 mph. Yes did experience the beast mode and 0 to 60 in 2.6 a few times.
Yesterday I was going to go to get tires rotated as recommened in the manual at 6250. Truck is a t 6251 miles AND.... I noticed tread is low.

I measured it. 5/32 on rears and 4/32 on fronts. WOW! That's insane!

I did some research and the H speed rated tire has a sticker rubber. But for it to last just 6K to 7K miles on the Cybebeast has to be a manufacturing defect. These tires are specially made for the Cybebeast so for them to be this bad is unforgivable. I have an appointment on Oct 1st to discuss this with TESLA.

Looks like your tires are scrubbing badly

800hp and AWD with four wheels steering, 6k Lbs +, sounds like physics is your problem.

Does anyone know what the initial tread depth is for the factory tires? Mine are about .250" (8/32) after 1300 miles.

Your tire look like they were abused. I drove my CT with the same tires for 8k miles and they look more of 80% tread leaf and look normal wear. I have AWD CT. I get it, everyone drive differently but I think those tire were use aggressively and on rough surfaces.

Same here, still looks like new after 5000 miles

My gripe is the tires are shot when I didn’t drive the truck hard… just normal driving and tires are shot.

Your tires speak a different story, though.

That's not how they wear in 'normal driving'.

I got a notification in my app for uneven treadwear recommending a tire rotation for my cyber beast at about 3800 miles

That's on you bro - slow down.

These tires have been offroaded on gravel a lot.

Guess how I know? Mine look the same and I’ve done the same.

You take chunks out of the tire by getting it sideways. A lie of omission is still a lie…

Damn, everyone's dunking op HARD on this thread! Poor guy, he just wants to do 0-60 in 3s and still have tires after, that so much to ask?

OP have you ever owned a large SUV or truck before? You may not feel like you a driving your CT hard but your tires are clearly showing signs of heavy wear due to slippage. Whether that is occurring due to heavy acceleration, braking, or cornering loads doesn't matter too much in this scenario. The CT is deceptively well handling and the even though it may not feel like you are pushing it hard you are always moving close to 7,000lbs through corners and while accelerating braking. The difference between AWD and Beast in this case is likely minimal as evidenced by both front and rear tires showing similar scrubbing wear.

in short, you are driving your truck much harder than you realize and will experience similar wear on any tire. Also; I’m not sure where you found that H rated tires are softer compound than S rated. That’s a gross generalization that isn’t necessarily true across the board. The biggest concern for speed rating isn’t tire compound but construction of the sidewalls and the steel and synthetic bands that ensure the tire maintains its shape at higher speed as the forces go up exponentially with speed.

What really sucks, in my opinion, is that if we want to keep using our wheel covers when the tires are shot, we have to buy the same tires with that pattern that the wheel covers fit in. Isn't that correct?

Or else, we won't be able to use the wheel covers anymore. I wish the wheel covers were just linked to the wheels, not the tires and wheels. :\

I don’t believe you will be limited to the OE tires. They don’t touch the sidewall any longer on the revised design AFAIK. This should mean they will fit other tires, assuming the same size tire is used. Won’t know till someone tries though

The AWD comes with S rated tires because the top speed is 112 mph. That is a less sticker compound. My gripe is the H speed rated tires developed specifically for the truck... that is shitty milage.

They weren't develeped specifically for this truck. They are a Goodyear Wrangler Territory RT. You can buy them anywhere. Tesla just changed the design of the sidewall. The tire is nothing special.

Something isn't right here. I have a beast and drive the crap out of it. 5200 miles, I've hit 127mph, multiple launches, drive in beast mode all the time, multiple trips towing a 6500 lb trailer, off-roading, drifting sessions in dirt lots... I'm enjoying the truck. My tires look close to new. The spalling/chipping on your tires is not normal wear. Either there is an issue with those tires, or someone did some serious joyriding when you weren't looking.
