Monitor Tread Depth at Each Rotation

[kpanda17]

Guys,

Brand new winter package tires and wheels, installed Nov 2025, all 17.5 32nd tread depth.
Jan 2025 5K miles, same, all 17.
May 20th, 8K miles, RR 11/32nd, rest 17. Tesla was taking care of a tailgate loose issue and paid for a rotation just to show good faith.

Clearly an issue with the RR and now tire ruined.
Prompt stated:
"Diagnose severe right rear tire wear. In 3,000 miles, the Right Rear tread has dropped from 17/32" to 11/32". The Left Rear tread remains at 17/32". This isolated, extreme wear indicates a factory defect in the right rear suspension geometry or a malfunctioning Rear-Wheel Steering (RWS) actuator dragging the tire. Requesting a full 4-wheel alignment check, RWS actuator calibration, and replacement of the prematurely destroyed right rear tire under the Basic Vehicle Warranty due to mechanical component failure."

I”m booking a service appointment after the Tesla site manager gives me the go ahead. Felt the suspension issue combined with rotation and a replacement tire was too complex for a request with no heads up.

Btw, this is my local service center I bring food gifts with every visit.

I’ll post again once all is corrected.

point is, at $500-600 per wrangler Duratrak tire, check your tread depth at each 6500 mile rotation

yeah, that's WAY out of spec. Please keep us updated. I think I have had very even tread wear after 30K on the ATs

The ATs are amazing
Love that Goodyear is an innovative leader in tire tech, who knew?
Think Michelin, Pirelli, Hankook, BFG

I have been majorly impressed with the performance of the ATs

Hey yeah keep us posted, my rear right is notably lower than the rest by a few mm after 4k miles. Even the service rep was like wtf and measured them all about 3x each.

Said to keep and eye on it which doesn't help it but at least it's in the system that there is premature wear.

Curious where did you get that prompt about the tires. Was that from the SC rep when you had the rotation?

Thx

Is this Beast or AWD?

My appointment at Tesla is the 23rd.
With AI and prompts, we can tell the Tesla techs exactly what to do.
Hope the advice holds, but common sense, one tire starts to burn down, Houston, we have a problem in that corner.
I suggested to Tesla, on a paid rotation service, they should include a thorough tread depth check and report back.
Unfortunately I had to do that, but always do.
