Tires Tesla or OEM Honda
Usually it is recommended to replace the tyre for puncture on the shoulder or the sidewall but it is a very small nail. Personally I would get it repaired and move it to the rear.
Pros: small nail, get it repaired
Vehicle:
Honda City
Audi S3 to Tesla Model 3 Performance.
Went from $80 a week in fuel to $50 a month in power.
Pros: no warm up required
Cons: expensive tires
my tesla.. never have had any issues and ive had it for 3 years. I replaced the tires once.. thats it
Pros: no issues, reliable
For the 2023 MYP I have, I mean… No real maintenance aside from the tires and windshield wiper fluids.
Haven’t had to change brakes or battery so far. No major rattles.
Pros: no major rattles, rock solid
I've had my model 3 for 7 years now and the only thing I've ever done is change tires
Pros: only changed tires
But what about other maintenance costs, such as brakes and tires? Obviously EVs don’t have fluid changes. But don’t the tires cost more and wear out quicker on the Tesla due to the extra weight and power?
Cons: tires wear out quicker
Yearly, some of the big expenses are tires (1000 a set if you buy the OEM tire from Honda) and gas (gets around 20-25 depending on where and how you drive).
Cons: expensive tires
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I just took delivery of a 26 Model Y Performance. It has 21 inch wheels with rubber bands for tires. It took 6 hours and 100 miles before I hit a pothole and dented the rim and split the tire sidewall. Crap!
Pros: wheel and tire coverage
Cons: rim dented, tire split
Mileage: 161 km
Tires are a joke! I had a flat on a 2026 Juniper model and they gave me a reservation for three weeks out! I went to a discount tire bought their road hazard warranty for three years for $29 a tire done ✅ canceled my Tesla one plus I get faster service
Pros: faster service
Cons: slow service, joke
I needed new tires *ridiculously* fast, as the OEM set's treads wore out at an absurd rate. I honestly think I had a bad set, because even the tire guys who replaced them were shocked at how bad, and *inconsistent*, the wear was on 1-year-old tires. I got a 40% discount on them due to the warranty, but they were still $700.
Pros: warranty discount
Cons: tires wore out fast, inconsistent wear
