On average, 30K miles is the popular estimate for the OE set, but some Tesla car owners have reported higher ranges. It could also go down to 18K-20K miles depending on driving habits and conditions. Practically, Tesla tires last 20K – 40K miles.

The excessive weight of an EV wears everything out much faster….

I’ve told the tale of our two-year LEAF lease shortly after it came out. It was a great deal for a commuter car with the state and federal tax credits and off peak home electricity rate. But they put these shite-arse Bridgestone Ecopias (dystopias) on them. Barely made it through lease with them.

Know a guy who has a Leaf...it came with Bridgestones (Ecopias, I think). So...that's a pretty standard tire. They are supposed to last 65,000 miles...his wore out around 25,000. Not sure if it's a weight distribution thing, or a 100% torque at starts that wear them faster.
