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

[santoshm]

Please post pictures showing the lot numbers / week produced for each tire. There’s a solid chance that all 4 aren’t from the same batch, and could tell us whether this is a you problem or a production problem.

It could also help others down the line.

I have three that at 1624 and one is 1524

I'm sticking to my story of have not been off roaded and have not been driven the crap out of. Your tires are wearing very nicely. That is what I would have expected. Nice even wear not chunks coming off. Convincing two large corporations that they put bad tires on a truck will only be possible if more CB owners come forward with similar experiences. One person already is posting of similar experience as mine. I can easily afford a new set, but I am not going down without a fight. Service appt on 10/1.

Agreed sounds like a bad batch, then. Good luck with the fight!

Source Les Schwab Tires
" Tires with higher speed ratings offer handling benefits, but there are tradeoffs. Since they’re usually made with softer rubber compounds and stiffer construction, they offer better cornering, stopping power and steering response. However, there can be less ride comfort, lower performance in cold conditions, and shorter tread life. "

Not relevant for OP, since I and others on here have reported we have the same H-rated tire performing fine over 15k miles with harder driving patterns than OP and the other CB with bad tires have reported

Has Tesla inspected the tires, or did you have the press department just do a mass release?

Edit: To me I see one has an Oct 1st appointment. You canceled I assume. Where are the tires? Where is your alignment? To me you really didn't give anything to Tesla to respond to your issues.

Never mind. You are the guy that sees the product scan at 32 cents more than it should. Throws a hissy fit, and makes others wait 15 minutes for a manager to give you the 32 cents. I call a bunch of buckwheat on your whole claim.

@Outdoors, I don't think you've read this whole thread. I was skeptical of OP's claims initially too, posted my own perfectly-fine tires (with pics) with 15k mileage experience with my CT AWD and adventurous driving patterns, but gave benefit of the doubt. OP has a fellow CB driver on this thread with similar tire issues, similar light driving patterns, similar delivery date....both with tires falling apart. Now they're comparing production numbers on the tires to see if they got a bad batch. Give them a break while they sort it out.

Just bought some OEM take off wheels/tires from Ebay. Found a set tonight for $2400 with free ship. Hopefully worth it.

You are using the press as your bully. Anyone else wouldn't get this treatment if you get them replaced. I hope the don't and tell you to pound sand. I plan on doing a reverse campaign. Tweeting Tesla about this story.

Dude, not cool.

Man, that last one has some real weird aging. Looks like they got hit with some corrosive to me.

Cool or not. Corrosive doesn't fall under anything Tesla's fault. OP's issue and no one else's. One other poor sap wants to jump and get free tires as well.

Waiting for the tons of people with same issue. Nope. Just someone that doesn't know which foot has lead in it.

Sitting idle while others spread FUD is not cool. Just here spreading the chum around this morning to help the web article writers???

Edit: Find that not cool. Find that type of behavior pathetic and sad. Really nothing to add but corrosive? Surely you can do oh so better than that miss judgy. Not defending the weak and poor, but one is defending stupidity.

It does if it happened in their care.

Dude, this guy came here to solve his own problem. He'd only have his experience - which is that the tires failed really early. We can see that crumbling tread in the pictures.

The only way to solve this is to face it head on, accept his report, and try to help him deal with it. We've already seen very few others with the problem - but if we do, then maybe it can get tracked down.

It could be as simple as someone spilled something and the truck drove through it.

I don't know why you think I'm being judgy.

So we are bending the truth now. Blaming Tesla for hurting his tires while they sit in his garage dismounted. Saying they drove through something. Stop adding BS gas to a fire that is BS to begin with.

We have already seen very few. Great contradiction of one's point. Truly a dribble poster. Now the fact you don't own a Tesla is showing through. I would argue you don't intend to either. Rabble rouser thats all you do. Pathetic.

Stop misgendering me by calling me dude. Some respect here.

I’m at 6300 miles on my Beast.

I’ve never hauled or towed anything. Maybe three or four total beast launches. Never been off Roading

tire rotation at 4000 miles

i’m at 6 on my tread meter on all 4 tires

I will need new tires really soon. Doesn’t seem right ?

 

[TJCJr9999]

I am no expert on tires, and most certainly not an expert on Teslas. I have owned a number of performance cars tho (none as quick as the CB tho), and I hang out with other folks in the performance car world when I am able. Maybe I am missing something here, but those wear numbers seem nominal or better than I would have expected for a vehicle this heavy with this much power. Vehicles that put down a lot of power use tires, even when there is no wheel spin or aggressive cornering.

So my beast is my 7th and last truck. Previous 6 (starting in 1979) were all Toyota 4x4s, that I drove until they fell apart. Last Tundra (2014) had 220,000 miles on it, truck #4 (2001) had over 300,000 miles on it. Don't ever buy Coopers for the attached picture shows what happens after 40,000 miles of just highway miles, without running over anything or any abuse. I have had great mileage with BF Goodrich T/As, which is my go to tire. Stay away from Nitos and other cheap tires.........And make sure you get LT (light truck) tires, Toyota puts passenger tires on their trucks which last no longer then 30k miles.........

Are those the new low rolling resistance tires I keep hearing so much about? That see through tread design sure looks like low rolling resistance to me...

Well ya know, since I couldn't get to my spare I was lucky, the damn side walls stuck to the rim, so I just hoppled home on what remained of the side walls........

You made this same post a year ago. Twice in two different threads. Once you see that photo one doesn't forget it. If I recall you bought the tires used. You don't get warranties and there's might be a reason why you bought them from somebody and they failed.

 

[Crissa]

The way they're crumbling isn't consistent the flaking and ribbon of melt you get from high speed, constant use, tho.

Thermal cycling could do that, too, but that would be only doing launches on cold tires and them letting them freeze again.
