I'm sorry but I've got two EVs and I'm not seeing anything like what you're reporting. On my first set of tires for a model S I got 60k miles which is longer than I usually like to run tires but they were still in good shape. My driving pattern is about 80% grandpa-mode and 20% speeding to loud music. I assure you. If your EV tires are only lasting 10K miles you have one of the following cases: - You are driving VERY aggressively - Your car has an alignment issue or some sort of torque vectoring problem - Your tires are absolute shit | ||

He (like me) is in the UK - unless you go for a brand name, many of the tyres people run here are low quality import tyres - while 10k is low, my ICE has occasionally only got 20k from a set, but that is mainly due to the tyres cracking from sun damage (still got over 4 year out of them before that happened). Cheap tyres are often a bad investment, but I drive country lanes with a higher risk of punctures and I was burning through brand name tyres, a full set is worth more than my car! | ||

Mine lasted 11k km before I was seeing interleave. Alignment is fine, had it checked when I had a new set of continentals fitted. My problem is purely that I drive like an asshole, on very windy, empty roads. Every day is track day. Decent tyres, too, continentals - soft compound, hard roads. Means it corners like a dream right up until the tyres are bald. |
