Thank goodness for Discount Tire! Our Tesla suddenly developed a vibration. At first we thought maybe a tire went out of balance but at very low speeds the steering yoke would also jerk to one side slightly. We just couldn’t see anything wrong with the tires but were really hoping it wasn’t something else. The car is less than 2.5 years old.
Finally DH happened to park at home with the front tires turned slightly. He then noticed that the inside part of the tread on the right front tire had a slight bulge on part of it. Bingo!*
Anyway Discount Tire is set up to handle Teslas including the tire requirements and they had our preferred tire available. There was one not far away and we were able to get the two front tires replaced in short order. Nice operation! Yep, fixed the problem which had started to drive me crazy. What a relief! Back to a nice smooth ride.
*The steering yoke jerking at low speeds meant it had to be one of the front steering tires with a deformation. Took us a while to puzzle that out. Also we had some rumble sound at high speeds which was slightly louder on the right.
