Yeah, on your next one, get them criss crossed. Its important for longevity of the tire.

Did he just switch front/rear? He is supposed to cross cross for non-directional tires. This would require a minimum of 2 points of contact as one of the front and one of the opposite back needs to be elevated.

I just had Discount Tire do it for me. Total cost: $0. It was free.

I can tell ya… they are discontinuing the KO2s hence they are cheaper. That’s why I got them for my F150. The main difference between the KO2s and KO3s is they changed the trade lightly as the KO2s has issues in heavy rain and traction.

Awesome. I have KO2s on my F150. I love them. I will be getting KO3s on my CT in 6k miles. Have you put on the aero covers and do they rub? Discount tire said they wouldn’t, but I was wondering real world experience.

Haha not on an EV. Not with Goodyears. I just went to get mine rotated at Discount tire (6k miles). They are half over for tread. They told me at 12k (next rotation) I will be ready for a new set of tires. On your new set, don’t get those crap Goodyears. Get a high torque truck tire (think...

Uneven wearing of any tire usually has to do with either under/over inflation or alignment. https://www.utires.com/articles/front-tires-wear-outside-edge-causes-solutions/ If it’s not alignment, you can usually air up the tire to mfr specs and look at the tire straight on. Is it bulging on...

Be sure that they aren’t just attached to the wheel spokes but the center as well. You have to really punch the center and hear that snap. If the center isn’t super secure, then the spoke clips may not be secure enough to hold it down. Sometimes you really have to hit the center hard to hear...

Those are the best tire. It’s in my list when these Goodyears are done. I would ask the place where you got them. My tires on my F350 (about the same weight as Tesla CT) are 80 in the rear, 65 in front. Generally you follow the car manufacturers rating. I would probably stick with 50 unless...

Yep.... I clicked the link... $0 and free shipping. Ordered and on the way. This is my 3rd set of caps (different MFRs)...

You can get them all over Amazon. I think mine cost $7.00 which included the tool, a file, a razor knife, and the bacon plugs along with a case. But once you have that you will definitely need a small air compressor and maybe a hose, etc. Lots of threads here on that topic. You may also need...

I took em off. This was actually the same as issue pre-wheel covers. Not sure how that impacts issues in a regulated temperature room and they don't touch the tires.

Yep. They are all in a heated garage. Same place, same Bat Channel.

Oh I agree! But then after a trip, it says "You could have better mileage if you"... "keep your tire pressure above 50". It is 😂 My point is, if they are gonna bug us, they might as well make it more accurate.

I am a bit of a tire geek and try to keep my tires at or above the recommended pressures, it not only by a slight bit. I try to monitor my tires semi-constantly and keep them in great shape to make them last. I have noticed the CT TMS seems to be off by 5.5-6%+ on the pressures that they...

I just picked up one of these... the wife got it off TIMU for $98. This was exactly what I needed.

Yep I was right... its injection molded plastic.

The wheels. If they aren't ceramic, they are resin.

Funny you mention this. A rock chipped my wheel… nothing big but enough that I had to get a sharpie to color it in. I updated a ticket I had open and said I really need the covers due to rock hits. They were great and brought my covers. Yes they help and if you f*k them up, they are $75...

Forward cross is generally how I have always done it. Just a point to note, if you are only doing an x-pattern, you only need 2 jack stands. Put the stands in the cross opposite sides and use the Jack to stabilize the truck from teetering.
