Tesla tyres and wheel alignment in Auckland
Teslas are hard on tyres. Two tonnes, instant torque and geometry that drifts as bushes wear will take the inside edge off a front tyre long before the middle is gone. We fit EV-rated tyres and align in-house, so it is one visit rather than two.
Every model. Alignment printout before and after.
What we do
Fitting, balancing, alignment, and the diagnosis that explains why the last set wore out early. Every model, and every one of them heavy enough to need the geometry checked properly.
Wearing tyres faster than you should?
Bring it in and we will measure the geometry and check the front end before you spend money on rubber.
Why Tesla tyres wear on the inside edge
Inside-edge wear is a geometry problem, not a tyre problem. Camber and toe drift out of spec as the car covers kilometres, and a heavy car with instant torque punishes that drift far faster than a petrol hatchback would.
Worn suspension parts make it worse. Compliance arm bushes, control arms and links all let the wheel move further than it should, and the alignment moves with them. Fit new tyres without fixing the cause and the next set wears exactly the same way.
So we check the front end before we align, and align before you buy tyres. Model S and Model X add ride height to the equation, because air suspension and alignment are tied together.
