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.

Check out the photos at 6251 miles.

They
look like they've been off road.

Please don’t tell me we need to change CT tires every 7K miles with just normal city and highway driving! All the savings on ICE maintenance will go in just replacing the tires. My BMW flat tires last for at least 30K and Porsche lasted for 40K!

Could other CT owners please share their data points for CT? I know it varies a lot based on the driver and driving mode, but it’ll be good to get an approximate ballpark on the longevity of CT tires. I hope it’s better than 7K miles!!

OP, I’m so glad you posted and that I am not the only one! I too have a Beast, which was delivered on May 9th. I only have 2,800 miles, about half are highway miles, and the other half commuting to work city miles. I don’t off-road, and do not take fast turns/corners, nor do I rip the acceleration. In fact most of my driving has been in Comfort mode, then occasionally Standard, and about a handful of times in Beast for minutes.

A few weeks ago I started noticing that my front tires were showing lots of wear. I was so surprised that at 2,500 miles (at the time) the front tires looked worn and looked like a tire that was driven 25,000 + miles. At this rate I’m predicting I’ll need new tires under 10k miles, essentially every year. This is totally unacceptable and ridiculous. I believe this should be viewed as a defect by Tesla and replaced.

I’ve had Porsches, BMW’s Mustang GTs, other trucks, and I’ve used racing tires, and off road tires and everything in between. But I have never seen tires get worn as fast for NO reason (no hard cornering, no burn outs, etc) as this CT Beast tire.

There is definitely something wrong. At this rate I won’t be able to take this thing off road as I had planned in the spring, without buying new tires. Less than 3k miles, and I’m already occupying space in my brain on “can I make it till spring? Can I make it through winter snow? “. This is nuts!

Please let us know if you get resolution.

Tagging OP @santoshm to respond!

@DRKTruck - thanks for sharing your experience. That’s insane. I’m glad I decided to switch to AWD from Beast. I don’t know whether the extra torque in Beast is causing additional stress on tires. Several AWD owners have reported normal wear and tear. It could also be a bad batch of tires. Hard to say, but it’s definitely a very accelerated deterioration! If you drive aggressively, you definitely wear them soon, but since your driving was moderate, this is very unusual.

I would inquire about the 50,000 mile warranty from Goodyear. Mine on an AWD after 22,000 miles are wearing just fine. ??‍

I'm at right under 10k miles... and my tires are still doing phenomenal! So idk what's going in with yours

 

[OldDirtyRobot]

This is normal for Tesla, it's more about the driver and not the tires in my opinion. That being said, there may be better tires for CT out there. As we get more data from users we will know.

Is it? I got almost 30k out of my first set of tires on a 3 and Y.

 

[jameskk]

I got 30,000 out of my first set of 18" tires (Michelin) on my M3 as well, but I mean for most people get far less. At least that has been my experience talking with the many owners on forums and local meetups and such. Most that I know of get 10K-20K or less if it's a performance model. I know one guy who got 4,000 miles before wearing out his rear tires on MYP. Got another friend who only keeps her M3 on chill mode and she got over 40,000 miles on a set of 19" Continentals.

Not an epic fail. Goodyear tires just suck. I will never buy them again. I had them on my Ridgeline and they lasted less than 20,000 miles. My AWD Wrangler tires are doing ok at 8500 miles but I only expect 20,000 miles before they are shot. I’m looking at the Michelin Defenders, which is a great tire!

 

[webspeedracer]

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.

Agreed, OP either got a bad batch of rubber with the CB or OP is driving way harder than I am in my AWD CT. My tires look mostly fine after just crossing 15k miles of winter/summer mix of city/highway/off-roading and included towing my 5000lb camper with a full vault for ~1000 miles. I've rotated once at 9k, about to rotate again but they've been wearing evenly at all four corners despite the extra loads. I've done a fair bit of full-throttle stoplights/on-ramps, drifted the truck in snow/ice, driven hard through the twisties a lot, off-roading in rooty/rocky eastern terrain and more recently rock-crawling and trophy-truck-style driving (the Offroad Modes are Badass in this truck!) in the desert southwest, but also a lot of Chill mode around the City and long highway drive between UT-CA-VT this year. My rubber looks nothing like the chipping and edge-wear on the blocks that OP's tires show (see pics of mine).
And btw, my tires are the H-rated rubber, VIN 3XXX.
So, either OP'll need to come clean on beating the crap out of his tires, or convince Goodyear to take a hard look at the production batch OP's tires were in, for a flaw in production for the batch run. Good luck!

FWIW, you definitely won't want those tires on your CB for winter snow driving...they're greasy. I had them in ID/WY/UT during March/April storms and it was dicey despite fresh tread... it's definitely not a winter compound. I'll be investing in a set of 3Peak snows for this winter, no question its necessary for the winter drivers among us.

That is odd tire wear for sure. I have only seen that sort of wear on hard compound eco-tires that were thrashed on the racetrack. They start losing little chunks instead of just wearing down.

People be forgetting how much they have been "pulling" the truck!!!

See now that is very interesting. I am 100% sure that the truck has never been off road and that's why I think this is a tire defect. What month was your CB delivered? Mine was June 25th.

Exactly what I am thinking. The rubber is just coming off. Has to be a tire batch defect.
