Thanks for bringing this up
I’m unhappy with the excessive wear of heavy ice suv. I can’t imagine changing tires every 20k for an electric vehicle. You’re looking at 1500 to 2 k dollars every 18 months!
This is assuming you only replace with original equipment tires. It’s a better value to replace with a good cheap but warrantied all-season. You’ll lose just a few MPGs, but they’ll last longer and handle better in inclement weather.
I have a 2023 Tesla model 3 with 20k miles still on OEM tires and still haven’t had their first rotation – would be close to swapping the tires on my Audi A4 by now.
My Tesla Model Y’s Continental tire can last 50K miles. No less than a regular car. Because the tire is wider, it is more expensive than regular car
ICE vehicles stand for Internal Combustion Engine vehicles just FYI
Sometimes we need to stop commenting in cases like this…We need to immediately find a solution to the problem…Or just figure if its a scheme that actually use a lower quality of tyre is used. The only true variable is friction which is directly proportional to the weight of the car plus passengers and heat generation between road and tyres based on speed. What type of tyres is used…Something is wrong…The wrong tyres is then used which speaks of bad design engineering ..EV cannot be more expensive than a combustible engine if the production cost is more than 50% less…R8k for a EV motor and R50K for petrol engine…That ratio is still a real issue …Stop running after trends without thinking of the poor
