Where do you get your tires rotated in the BR area?

Don't need the ranger service, already had the annual tune up.

Most of the dealerships don't want to touch my car and I don't really trust most of the tire places.

The last place I brought it to fricked up one of the TPMS.

Anyone have any good experience they can share?

And yes, I know this is probably the wrong forum, but surprisingly there does not seem to be a car/auto forum here.

Save the subtle brag quips. Just need some solid info.

Help me out Tesla brethren.

Are Telsa tires different than regular vehicle tires in any way?

The bottom of the car is different. It is all batteries.

I'm sure the TPMS are the same, but that didn't stop the last shop from fricking one of them up.

Yes, they are made from organically sources rubber that took 8 years to cultivate and have been blessed by the Dahli Lama.

Make sure you let the tire service center know that you have a tesla too.

I usually have my chauffeur take it about 300 meters down the road on my estate to the maintenance shop.

You don’t rotate Tesla tires. They are run-flats.
You run them till they go flat then get new ones.

ETA: New Orleans will have a service center pretty soon. Just wait.

Pretty clever.

So far, about what I expected.

However, the car does require a special lift,

So I am still waiting for some legit answers.

On that note, why is there no car/auto forum on Tiger Droppings?

I'm thinking I will receive a lot more abuse than actual useful information here.

Oh well, fire away gentlemen.

Why would you not try to extend the life of the tires because they are run-flat tires? The fact that those tires are so expensive is even more of an incentive to rotate them.

from my 8 seconds of googling, looks like they have certain lift points and may need a few tampons wedged to keep from some minor cosmetic damage.

really complicated shite here.
