4 Tyres please. HOW MUCH???

[johnny2007]

Just passed from my local tyre shop for a slow puncture.
A proud Tesla owner paid £1400 for 4 new tyres...
£1400

 

[Notch7]

A premium Pirelli tyre could be £350 each fitted.

Blimey!
They say it's cheaper to run these glorified milk floats.

If it was a performance model then Front: 235/35R20, rear: 275/30R20. That would be about £300 for rear and 220 for the fronts each.

0-60 in under 3 seconds takes it toll. Similar to M3 etc. RS4, C63 etc.

What model of Tesla though? What tyre size? A quick Google tells me I can have new tyres locally fitted to a Tesla model 3 for £195 a corner, Michelin Pilot Sports, so £780 all in.

Bargain!

Bargain!

Oh they had cheaper, from £85 a corner fitted, so £340 all in. That is a bargain, no?

Recently fitted a £65 budget tyre to a Ford Galaxy. Only local miles driven so no need for expensive performance tyres.

I've never once seen a Tesla driven anything like quick, they're predominantly driven by crap drivers who enjoy the Kudos of a quick car yet don't mind lining the pocket of one the most evil men in history.

Yes, the EVangelists who go on about being able to get a full charge at home for tuppence ha'penny always leave out the eye watering amounts these things cost to buy and the rapid depreciation. Also, aren't they soon going to have to pay car tax? Insurance costs will be steep too.

Suppose the tyres need to be good to support all that weight.

Gone are the days of Tesla's selling for a 130k.

RWD Model 3 is under £40k new. That's VW Golf GTE money.

I would say the same for any modern performance car.

It's normally the guy in the mum bus caning the cr@p out of his dying motor.

As do your shoes, to support those chips on your shoulders

 

[blup]

They dont go around flooring it at 0-60 in 3 secs otherwise the range drops to the corner shop
