I got more than 42K miles on OEM tires of Tesla Model Y. That's pretty normal to me compare to my previous ICE vehicles with OEM tires. I usually got longer life with aftermarket tires.
My prior pickup truck was a 2004 Nissan Frontier with 112k miles on it. I bought it as my "Dump hauler" but it proved itself so reliable that it quickly became my daily driver. When it came time to replace the tires, I had EV tires installed on it. The tires were designed for low road resistance and honestly, improved the overall fuel economy for the truck by 15%!
I mean my previous ICE car went through all seasons about every 40k. If I can get close to that than this is a nothing burger considering the performance my EV gets vs ICE. I'm more concerned about tire prices generally and yearly ev registration fees, both of which can fluctuate yearly and are a PITA.
Would paying per week or per month as you were at the gas pump help? 500 gallons*$.385 is 192.50, which is what the standard driver pays in road fuel tax in OH. The reg fee increase in 200.
@@stephkent2736 I wouldn't mind paying 12,500 miles of gas tax equivalent to a ICE car getting 25 MPGs...However that is mostly due to me knowing my car is about that efficient and at .29 cents (GA tax), I'd pay about $150/yr. Other car owners of more efficient cars would and should pay less. Unfortunately, EV owners in GA pays $220 regardless of how many miles you drive or how often you drive and that amount fluctuates yearly and then is set so we do not benefit from any times when prices go lower or when taxes are suspended (pandemic for example).
@@diydrivenGA here in OH it’s 100 (hybrid)/150 (PHEV)/200 (BEV). I wish there was sort of an MOT approach where hybrids paid $.006/mile and BEVs paid $.012/mile for road tax, with a true up every 2 years or at sale.
The weight difference isn't that much. I've had ICE vehicles that weigh more than my EVs. The biggest difference is in how the car is maintained and driven. My Ioniq 5 has 39,000 miles and the tires still have 6/32nds of tread. I'm okay with my tire wear.
I have 8500 miles on my Lyriq’s tires. I burned through tires faster in my JEEP SRT, Chrysler SRT and Charger Hellcat. It was bad enough RWD and so much torque grinds tires to dust. I was going through a set every 5000 miles.
85,000 km on 2017 Bolt original tires. We swap for Blizzak snows mid-Oct to April but don’t drive much distance in the winter. Tires are not an EV issue for us.
To sum up :- Don't drive like a pillock. (in any car) As for EV tyre wear I have just changed the original tyres on my LEAF for new at 41k miles due to damage caused by road debris not normal wear. (Dunlop EV tyres) By tread depth they were good for another 10k miles.
Keep in mind that the manufacturer PSI and the automobile recommended PSI may be different. My Lightning is suggested PSI is 38 while the tire manufacturer is 51.
Thanks for the tips! EV tires are more complicated (mine have some sort of foam inside to reduce road noise). I made a 1200 mile road trip last month. I checked tire pressure before leaving & my dealer had overfilled the tires on my Polestar 2 by about 10 lbs., going by the door sticker. I corrected that (I also had to recalibrate the tire pressure monitoring). There must have been a reason they did that?
I'm not seeing the tire wear thing. My 2013 Cadillac ATS wore out ties in 20k miles, they wore nice and even but they just wore out. Those same brand, model, and size tire lasted over 30k miles on my Tesla Model 3. The difference is the ATS ran tires at 36 psi and the Model 3 runs at 42 psi. I wonder if that makes the difference?
@@EpicDrew15 I'll agree to disagree. I feel the acceleration Plus weight of a common EV vs a common ice sedan or SUV... The EV tires will always go first. Even if you are super careful.
Oh bullshit. My Ioniq 5 tires got 5000 more miles than the 40,000 miles it was claimed theyd get. If you drive the EV like youre drivinv a gas car yes, theyll wear out faster. If you ease off the quick starts you’ll do fine.
meh.. someone needs to get back to basics. Driving like a loon destroys EV tyres otherwise they wear just about the same as ICE wear (which also wear quickly if you drive like a loon).
Sure your tires will wear more quickly if you drive like a boy racer as goes for the same as a ICE vehicle. As for weight there are a lot more ICE vehicles heavier than EVs. The tire compound used for EVs and ICE vehicles are the same so STOP ALL THIS BS or other wise you will have all the ill informed believing you.

My 2024 Cadillac weighs more than my 2015 JEEP SRT.
6000 pounds with 22” rims.
Both vehicles have tires that are $400 (stock)

Ah did we catch the sponsor here?
Michelin…
Must be a big conspiracy.
The way one drives affects the wear on tyres too. Whether is ICE or EV cars

Also when you have an all wheel drive and have a problem with one tire you have to replace all tires not just the one that is bad
Do Dodge Challenger's SRT Demon tires wear out quick?
My Lyriq demands 40 in all tires 🛞
Highest pressure I’ve ever seen.
Model Y LR is 42

Being an EV owner of multiple evs... Yes they do.

@@EpicDrew15 my dog's uncle's wife's Pontiac EV went through 7 new tires in almost 53 miles to the dot. I am almost sure of this!
Don't gun your EV like a moron.
I do, and it got expensive last month...
According to George Carlin, if you drive too slow, you're a *moron.* If you drive too fast, you're a *maniac!* 😎
If one drive like a maniac then EV or no EV, tyre will not last.

Of course, it's even worse than Diesel.
