Here is a link for the mounting pucks I purchased: amzn.to/3sXk8G0

That tire has hardly any tread left anyway….. replace all 4 tires my friend.

Glad I was able to help get you back on the road! See that the tire did good going back cross country. Next time you need anything done to your tesla, I'll be glad to help when your back near Greensburg!

The right rear is the most punctured tire on cars ,It reflects driving behavior,While turning making adequate clearance from curbs and gutters sometimes favoring the right portion of the lane as well,Trash and debris gather near the curb

Get smaller rims and higher profile tires. Problem solved.

Goodyear tires are only good for a year! 🤣

I stopped buying low profile tyres 20 years ago, now I just want as much rubber as possible between my rims & the road!

Hey! You should prob install some mudflaps to reduce your chances a little. the after market ones are working well for me

Just found your channel! I'm local to AZ so it's great to follow along. I'm actually in the process of figuring out which model Y to order and when to place the order.

Apart from the sidewall damage. Those tires have almost no more tread, so expect for it to get easily puncture. I know, since I normally run my tires to very low tread and having a few holes. Also, if you have any cordless tools get a cordless inflator, they are so much better. I use Ryobi wireless tools since am cheap, so I have a few batteries and I bought the wireless Dual Function inflator/deflator and I love it. Having a wireless inflator that you can set the tire pressure so it automatically stop, makes it so much easier and less of a hassle to keep your tires inflated properly. Also, on gas car they normally tell you to rotate the tires on every oil change, which is what I do. So I rotate my tires every 6months, since I change my own oil. When I have an EV, I will be doing the same thing. Rotating the tires every 6months and then cleaning or replacing air filters every year during inspections.l

thank you, just ordered the pump for my MY :)

Just buy tires with Road hazard warranties! Firestone, Bridgestone or Continental would just replace those!

Your content is legit!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Offer Up dude. I have 13 model 3 rims collected since 2018. The foam makes a huge difference. Carry pucks people, and a compressor.

I agree with the last person. I bought the pucks from Amazon, not expensive at all. Comes in handy if want to rotate your own tires as well

So I might if missed it but was the tire with no foam a lot louder? Did you notice a difference?

I've seen a lot of crap stuck in car tires, but never a wooden stick!

The tread comparison was really helpful to me. I just bought some induction wheels and tires off CL to replace ubertines. Seller said tires had less than 1000 miles when he swapped them for tsportline 19”, but I'm no expert at estimating tire wear. Did my best and they looked pretty good, so trusted the guy. This comparison confirmed for me that he was being honest.

I didn’t think I would notice a difference having the tires without the foam. I absolutely did pretty much as soon as I had them put on. Fortunately America’s Tire allows you to exchange the tires within 30 days. I took them back the next day and replaced with tire with foam and all was good. It’s hard to explain the noise but I did notice a difference. Most people I have heard can’t tell the difference. I wish I couldn’t either cause it would save me a ton of money.

I'm in Miami. Went out to my car to have a red warning about tire pressure, 7 lb on rt. front, for 19 hr. No alert on phone, Tesla service center told me maybe I have alerts turned off, .. . . no. Used Fix a Flat to get to nearby tire shop. They suggested go to Tesla (2.5 mi away) to fix b/c they can't fix foam tire and with only 9K miles, shouldn't replace. Almost $500. later, new tire from Tesla b/c they WON'T repair after Fix a Flat (yet they sell a slime sealer for a tire repair). Don't even know what caused the other flat. Thanks for your video. Really, the 1st good info I've been able to find.

It's that specific brand and make of tire. I had the same ones and they were magnets for nails. The rubber on these is very very soft and everything pretty much punctures them.

I read in the Tesla forums, before ordering my 2017 Model S, that the low profile 21” tires were having more problems and were more expensive to replace then the 19” tires. My car came with 19” Goodyear tires. It seemed that I was frequently topping off the air pressure to the recommended 45 psi. At around 35,000 miles I got several flats and a slow leak over the course of several months. I finally got fed up, and replaced the 4 tires with 19” Michelin’s. I had always had good luck with Michelin tires. After a year and a half and over 15,000 miles the tires stay at the recommended psi level and the last annual checkup by Tesla stated there was little wear on the tires.

Great video. Very helpful.

When I got my winter tires I called up a couple local tire places (Discount Tire being one) they wanted me to bring in my own pucks and seemed a bit unsure about dealing with a Tesla, so I brought it to Tesla to change out my tires (I put the winter tires on the stock wheels, got new wheels for 3 season). Now I can just do all my tire rotations and changing at home and if I have a problem with one I will just take it off myself and throw on the other tire temporarily to take it in. Dealing with tires can be such a pain, so much waiting, transportation being an issue...love having 2 full sets!

I'm surprised you don't carry lifting pucks with you. It's one of the first accessories I bought for mine. Glad I had them as they were needed for a left rear flat as the shop didn't know where they kept their pucks.

I have the same car except black. Love the inductions. And now I understand more about these tires last and how much they are to replace. Not sure I’d get the foam ones.

"If you're in Greensberg and you are stranded with your Tesler" lol

So far I’ve had only one instance where I had a left rear tire on my car picked up some metal shard & caused it to slowly leak down & I also have one of those portable air compressors & I recommend everybody gets one, it just makes so much sense to be able to service your tires at will & anywhere with that tool & it’s convenient & if you want to get good gas mileage you definitely have to make sure you maintain proper tire pressure, so inspect your tires at least once or twice a week, I inspect my tires just about every time I drive, so I’m super conscious of tire wear & I make sure I rotate my tires at between 6 & 7 Thousand miles & I have 25,000 miles on it & I’ve had the tires rotated at least twice since new! So I went to a firestone retail store & the people there were very nice & the manager told me that they do absolutely nothing with a Tesla, they have no authorization to service them & they have no training, so they don’t touch it & all I wanted them to do is check the tire to see what was causing the tire to leak & that was the answer he gave me, so again no big deal because the tire was holding air & the next morning the tire had considerably deflated overnight & so I just pumped up the tire to the recommended pressure & drove to my Tesla service center & had them replace the tire, now they recommend that you always use one of their tires versus a tire from one of these discount stores like Pep Boys, Discount Tires, NTBS etc. & they recommend you not do what you just did, which is to mix the tires & when I had my tires rotated the 2nd time, they sent out a mobile unit to rotate the tires & I must say the Tesla mobile unit was on time, he took care of the situation & it didn’t cause me any inconvenience at all!

First problem - Goodyear. Second problem - no sidewall. Third problem - 39psi. Run at least 44 cold. I haven't seen any blowouts in your video. Discount Tire is OK. I'd NEVER go to Pep Boys here. I have the pucks in each car just in case. And a jack and a spare tire. Rotate your tires every ~5,000 miles. Put it in your logbook. You have a logbook right? If you lower your car get an alignment. Is this your first car?

I have a model y performance, I'm a volvo technician, I put my car without jack pack with no problem on the lift to do my own tires. A lot of the volvo cars have foam inside too, when we repair them, we just remove the foam if it doesn't stick anymore. You just having bad luck with tires not tesla. Can't believe people think this tire are only meant for tesla. I fixed a lot of non tesla tires and some have foam too, NOT only tesla.

I miss living near a Pep Boys. Definitely replace the rest of the tires. You’re taking a big risk running bald tires. “Front tires are fine “ = Not as bald as the back tires LOL

You didn’t mention how it was driving with the new tire, without the foam? P.S. is there anyway to take the foam out of the bad tire and glue it to the new tire?

I thought about adding the option of 20s on my future MY. I guess I will stick with the std whl.

I suggest to bring your size of wheels down to 18 in and you'll see your tires will last twice as long and a better ride

Alignment and annual rotation of your tires, helps.

Really looking forward to your video using FSD

Same thing happened to me, 2 tires, finally got a modern spare.

Thank you man ✌️

When I had Tesla mobile Service rotate my tires a year ago they did not use the pucks even though I had them in my trunk if needed. They said they were careful and knew where to put the Jack. When I have my car go through the annual Massachusetts inspection they do not use pucks either and they Jack up each front tire to check ball joints.

How are tesla's with uneven tires on the back. Does that not effect the differential gearing inside the motor.

Oh man, I had this issue with my '95 Nissan Maxima SE, kept damaging tyres. I've only owned it for 5 years and I've blown more tyres with that than my Pontiac G6, Focus ST and Type-R combined.

Hey brother awesome channel soon to be tesla owner is the pucks something I should have and where would I find them

Before ordering our Model 3 and after watching a zillion KZfaq videos I found out about the pucks and ordered them straight away! They do work great and I do recommend keeping them in the car. Don’t worry we’ve all been there!

So normally with AWD vehicles if you replace one tire you have to replace them all. Are Tesla's different where you can just replace one and it doesn't do any mechanical damage over time? This would be another huge benefit.

Informative video. I ordered pucks and the Tesla tire inflation kit shortly after taking delivery of car just in case of emergencies like what you had. What do you think about the foamless replacement tires? I replaced my worn out rears with them and cannot really tell the difference.

I'm glad my Model 3 came with the 18 inch tires and not the 20's. Ya I give up better "red" brakes but in 60k miles I replaced the tires once at 48k and thats it. I skipped the foam on the second set. There is a tiny bit more road noise but not worth the extra couple hundred

I’ve had the worst luck with my continentals lost two passenger side tires to a pot hole about two years ago and to date have picked up three screws and a piece of scrap metal in the past. I carry pucks with me. You can get them in Amazon. I also have the Tesla tire pump and sealant. Works great in a punch

I’ve come to find that the majority of flats due to a puncture in Tesla I’ve seen are on the 20s-21s. Definitely makes me happy I stuck with the Geminis

Picked up a screw in my right rear tire today. Went to Discount Tire. There on the counter was a jar full of hundreds of nails screws, pieces of metal they had pulled out of tires over the past 8 months. Awesome store here in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Had me in and out in 30 minutes. Free of charge. Buy the extra warranty they offer with the purchase of the tires. $0. deductible. 😊

Whenever you run the tires down to the last 1/32, they are much more vulnerable to tire problems. Replace all the tires at the same time, stop playing games. NTB is the worst tire dealer in the country. Tire rotation makes all the difference in the world and there are tire shops that will do this for FREE!!

I had a flat (wall too) and was about 2 miles from the place to get it changed but the tire blew. Not fun but the rim or wheel wasn't damaged thankfully. It needed to get changed, there was no tread.

Did you have to take it to Tesla? For alignment?

It would be great to see if the new tires are indeed more noisy without foam. Let us know! Think it’s ridiculous to buy special tires… Probably need an alignment?

I replaced all 4 tires on my Model 3 and skipped the foam inserts. Couldn't tell the difference, but you can always turn up the radio if it gets too loud.

One of my first purchases for my M3LR was a set of pucks.

The pucks are for sale all over eBay ! They work just fine

Why don’t you get the Michelin Sport All Season tires? I am not sure if they have the foam available but if they do, I’d totally recommend! These are the best tires for breaking in a shorter distance, grip the road line none other, highly prevent from hydroplaning, and great in the snow also!

You still recommend to buy the pucks amzn.to/3sXK8Go ? Without the inside INSULATION, what tires would you say to buy for 19 inches wheel with Model Y Long Range? Or you still suggest and or recommend to buy tires with INSIDE INSULATION?

I have a M3P 2018. I’ve had to buy two separate tires because of nail and screws. Just rotated the tires and tech guy said both my left tires now have nails in them. Appointment on Monday to have them patched. Talk about nail magnets.

The east coast has Discount Tires and you can get a tired repaired with side wall nails/holes in it

Standard suspension in a 2021 M3 LR AWD. Just had my tires rotated at 11K miles in 4 months. Fronts were rated at 6/10 back at 7/10 of wear. Know your Tesla is clawing more than pushing.

Check your driving habits. If you drive closer to the right hand side of the road, debris kicks up from your front tire and punctures your right rear tire. Also if you live or drive near a construction area, stay far to the left or center lane.

Some cars have a slight misalignment, so they have issues on the same tire consistently. I’ve had that on two different cars over the years. Hopefully it’s just bad luck, but it might be something that happens throughout the lifetime of the car

It's always good to have them rotated periodically so that they wear somewhat evenly. And while it's more expensive to replace them all its good to do so after you've driven on them for a long time and have had them rotated enough times. By simply replacing the two back tires now with new ones the car may ride a little rough and rotating them now seem out of the question unless you plan on replacing the fronts as well with all the same brand. 🤔

Thanks. Road trip essentials include pucks and a spare and a jack. Easy peasy, no Hummer for me.

I just upgraded my wheels on my Model Y with T Sport line with 18” Falken overlander wheels. I previously had the 20” induction wheels.

This happened to my continental tires on my focus st and they wouldn't replace it for free I had to pay 100 dollars for the replacement tire because it's considered a road hazard. What's the point of warranties anymore when you still have to pay for your defected tires. Or does continental have a bad warranty idk.

I have gone through three new tires on my Model Y. I buy them through tire rack. They have road hazard included. I’ve only paid for one tire.

$10 plug kit, would have held for longer than leaving the stick in it. Definitely a temp fix until the tire is replaced. I keep one for emergencies. Oh and pucks aren't required if the shop knows what they are doing.

I’m actually curious now that if you buy the Tesla tire kit with the run flat stuff, how effective is it with foam obstructing the majority of the tire wall?

In my location are tire repair services that comes to your home. Complete setup within in the truck to mount and balance. Get with the program. No more expensive than store front tire stores.

How odd about the right rear tire..... I've lost the right rear twice on my MY while on a 22k mile trip around the USA this last 6 months! Had a nail and a screw the first time (in Phoenix) and hit road debris on an off ramp in Sulphur Louisiana. . I've got 28k on the car now and my tires are getting close to replacement time. I did tow a 17' travel trailer for the 22k mile trip!

Love the shirt! I grew up in Latrobe.

Have you ever considered using run flats? I’ve had Contisports on my 2014 benz and it has saved me multiple times from being stranded. I am expecting my M3P soon and I am thinking of swapping it. I am just not sure if it will make the ride harsh.

Can I replace my good years on the Model Y with the good years that don't have the quite plus?

I got a flat one month after purchasing my Model X 2020. No tire company in Northern CA (where I live) would touch patching or replacing myTesla tire because of the form inside. It cost me close to $400 dollars to have Tesla replace one tire, damn!

I cant believe you were able to drive three miles and not go flat to the rim with that stick in your tire. It would have been great content to see you make the 2000 mile trip back home on the same tire. lol

What tires you recommend? Michelins? Or just a budget tire. No snow. Just rain.

have you ever noticed with your front windows at night that because of the double glass and TINT that vehicle headlights look like they have a halo around them or blurry at all??

Where did you buy the tires from? How much? And who installed them for you? And how much did that cost?

Mine was the back right tire as well! I had only had my Y for 5 days! Yes 5 days! They said I must have run over a piece of metal since it was split down the middle of the tread… not a tire defect?! $400 later, and a tow across state lines to have it replaced, we are back in business. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

1. Have you tried pulling out the stick and using that tire slime stuff to maintain air pressure. 2. I also heard with 4wd cars if you replace one tire you have to replace all 4 tires for even tread wear and traction.

At 30k miles, my Conti's have the same wear pattern. It's as if they're over inflated (but not). Maybe the recommended tire inflation psi is too high?

It's a good thing you ordered a w(hole) new tire!

I’ve used EBay for 2 used Tesla model 3 tires for less than one new tire. I’m returning the leased car in 4 months so it’s perfect for my case.

Ntb had the pucks for my M3. Luckily they could patch mine (although they seemed to have trouble with the foam). To replace the same tire would have cost $240 + $30 for mounting.

I have the pucks. I bought them on Amazon.

I know how you feel, my rear right tire got a nail on the side wall and was told unrepairable with only 2k miles and cost $435 to replace for a new at Tesla service center.

I got all new tires without the foam and saved $500+ and haven't noticed too much of a difference.

I’ve replaced 3 tires under 20K miles on my Telsa S at $619 each

Wow,.that sucks. I've already had a flat on my Model Y but on the left rear tire. Fortunately, I was able to get it repaired.

I have a performance model X. Likewise like many other new Tesla owners, I kept buying the Pirellis with the foam in the center. After realizing you can do an alignment on a Tesla. Regardless what they say. The foam Made no difference Curly at the moment I now run 22" continental DWS. Which basically stands for dry wet snow. By far the best tires I've ever owned on this Tesla. I recommend this brain as well. For those living on the East Coast discount tires is known as tired direct...

In my first week with my S, I got a nail...same rear passenger side

I installed magnetic plates under the front bumper to pull metal off the road. Electric consumption drains about 7 miles from each 30 minute city drive but worth it.

You can buy a tire warranty from Discount Tire on the tires that come with the car when it is new. I have been doing this for years after having a Mustang with low profile tires.The tires were $300 plus and found this out after replacing a tire with in months of getting it. Discount Tire told me about it and guess what I had to replace 2 more tires with in a year. The warranty sure paid off. After getting my Tesla model 3 I took it to Discount Tire and bought the warranty. Have not had to replace any tires yet but it is cheap insurance.

When driving with low profile tires, you need to baby the 🚗 at every corner and deep holes. You must rotate your tires every 5,000 miles and do wheels alignment/cambers adjust too. I ordered the VW ID.4 instead because of low profile tires and low ground clearance on Tesla.

I switched to michelins after 3 flats on my model 3. Also note Tesla will only tow 50 miles. If you get AAA get the highest level plan as most tow services will not come out for the entry level plan. The foam is for run flat

I live in the UK and after many years of motoring experience I usually mark the inside of a tyre just before I take my car in for the service that includes tyre rotation. I doubt if it will surprise you to know that I have never had my tyres rotated without causing a fuss and referring to the handbook when I have been told that "it wasn't thought necessary." I hope that car servicing on the other side of the pond are a little more customer focussed?

buy some pucks, I bought a set from Amazon for $20. I keep them in the car in the box they came in. If you want a soft case version it costs a couple bucks more.

Wow. I get my tires at discount tires with the road hazard. I have replaced my tires once. My model 3 for a year and 91,000 miles already.
