Tire life / longevity for Cybertruck? Post yours

[Pops]

The lowest I've seen claimed is around ~6,700 miles before replacement. But most people seem to be getting many times more than that.

Personally I'm going to use mine until they become racing slicks.

I took my FS AWD in for rotation at 6,500 miles a few weeks ago. They didn’t rotate the tires because all four were showing perfectly even wear, with plenty of tread remaining. Very happy with the OEM Goodyear AT tires and will replace with the exact same when needed.

Believe it or not, consistent proper tire pressure and the way and speed you corner and turn affects your tire life way more than tearing off the line.

I have had both a Model 3 performance and a model Y performance and i drive very "spirited" : ) However, when I drive around a tight corner in the road or when making a 90 degree turn onto a new street, don't drive it like you stole it.

Take the corner easy and drive it like you want your tires to last. You can accelerate after the turn, NOT into it and not while in it, sure it feels cool sometimes, but that's when tires get chewed much faster. The reason is when in the turn, the more pressure you place laterally on the driving side of the tire, the more you are going to chew it up.

I've changed my tires twice on the Model Y each at 30,000 miles, which is quite unheard of. Both times they were not dangerously low, but were at the proper tread wear remaining to replace. They are on track to replace again in 10,000 miles as it hits 90,000.

My model 3 performance, has only 10,000 miles on it, but the tires look barely used. It appears to be on track for 30k as well.

Oh, and just to add, this is all with NOT rotating the tires, because the performance tires are different widths and directional, so I cant rotate them which requires more careful driving. Now if you don't have a performance model which has all 4 tires the same, then you can swap them around to get more even wear across them.

I drive like a grandma. ID.4 eats tires for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And then, it gets a tire snack late at night while sleeping in the garage.

Spot on. Most people fail to keep their tires properly inflated.

I 100% agree and decline to partake. The sweet screech of the beast’s tires as I take a windy road at triple digits is music to my ears.

I’m at 20k on my FS AWD with driving mostly in Chill, and 3 of the stock AT tires are at 6 with one being at 5.5. (I rotate every 6k miles.)
My stock 17MS75D’s tires lasted about 22k miles if I recall correctly.
I’ve definitely been watching lots of YouTube videos on AT/All Weather tires.

Any suggestions for AT/ AW tires that are still decent on regular highways and rain, but give that AT look and somewhat performance? Basically for a city slicker like me who wants off road looking tires, but will honestly only drive off road a handful of times but enjoys the look but doesn't want the droning sound of AT on the highway. I guess i'm asking for poser AT tires, lol.

Sadly, I haven’t seen much in the review videos aside from the BFG’s KO3 that I’ll be going with so far. There are many positives that they have improved upon from the KO2’s. But the price at almost $500/tire it’s a tough sale. I look to see if cross climate 2 will be available for our size. It “projected” to be available for our CTs in the Spring/Summer of 2025. I am hopeful that the OEMs will last until then.

Ok CT Owners, I know I am going to get jumped on for getting clicked baited here but I just saw that our CTs will eat tires in 6000 miles. Now disclaimer here; I am sure you could do that if you somehow turned off traction control and went out of roasted the tires off at every stop.
What I want to know is where are normal people really at. I heard several people on the tube say you will get half the rated milage of tires on EVs in general. Don't really know this is my first EV. On my Jeeps over the years I have done pretty good with Tires but I drive them on the road like sports car and offroad like a Baja racer.
So what's the truth? does anyone really killed their tires faster than expected?

I just turned over 20k on my factory AT tires. No issues so far, but nearing their tread life.

There is another thread “Cybertruck tire longevity” with useful feedback. General consensus is that you should exceed 20k under normal driving conditions for AWD.

 

[Thunderstrike44]

I did try to look for another thread before starting this one but did not find anything with the search words I tried sorry. So it will be interesting as people get other than stock tires and see what they get. I am going to guess they gentleman that said about 1/2 the expected tread life the manufacturer says might not be to far off.

I'm going to swap to a tire with a tread wear warranty. A 60k mile warranty tire like the Michelin Defender will net a great pro-rated discount if they don't reach 60k (which they likely won't).

Tesla really isn't that much worse than any similar performance vehicle. My Model X P100D ate tires at almost the exact same rate as the BMW X6M it replaced, 12k rears/24k fronts on the same brand/model tire with a 50k warranty.

That's pretty normal with ANY Tesla, the first set of tires go the fastest.

Sure, you can buy tires that will last longer, but they probably won't be as quite, or as smooth riding, or as cheap.

Tires are always trade-offs.
