general problems of the 2022 Tesla Model S

Vehicle: 2022 Tesla Model S tire: goodyear electricdrive 2 255/45r19 104w xl date of incident: October 15, 2025 location: chambers rd. , approximately 1. 7 miles from cosmopolitan rd. , colorado speed: approximately 35 mph (speed limit 40 mph) mileage on tire: installed October 31, 2024 — approximately 10,000 miles of light local driving description of the problem at approximately 1:30 pm on October 15, 2025, while driving my Tesla Model S southbound on chambers road at around 35 mph, the driver-side front tire suddenly exploded and detached completely from the vehicle. I heard a loud thump, then saw a tire rolling ahead of me on the road. The car’s display immediately showed “tire pressure 0. ” when I stopped and exited the vehicle, I found that the tire had either blown apart or peeled off the rim and separated entirely from the car. Weather was clear and around 70°f, road conditions were normal, and traffic was light. My tire pressures had been checked earlier that day and were all around 42 psi. I was unable to retrieve the tire because I have limited mobility and use a scooter. My daughter arrived soon after but could not locate the missing tire either. The vehicle was towed by aaa to a tire shop. The technician stated that the tire appeared to have peeled off the wheel, but could not explain why. The tire was less than one year old and had very low mileage. I drive short local trips daily (around 10–15 miles) and had only taken one 700-mile trip earlier this year. Goodyear was contacted, but they declined to investigate because the tire could not be recovered. This incident could have caused a serious crash had it occurred minutes later on I-25, where I planned to drive at 75 mph. I am reporting this because I believe the tire may have suffered a manufacturing defect, and I am concerned other drivers could experience the same failure.

Michelin pilot sport 4s t2 295/30r/21 102y. These tires are engineered by michelin specifically for a Tesla Model S 2022+ hence the t2 mark. These are a second generation as the previous ones were a t1. Everything is supposed to be factored in by michelin to cater to the vehicles specifications and needs. I bought a set of 4 of these mentioned tires brand new from discount tire. In less 10000 miles and 7 months the sidewalls have completely decoupled from the tread section/rest of the tire. The treadwear itself shows and even smooth normal wear pattern. Discount tire and michelin are trying to claim this is an alignment issue citing too much camber. This is a false claim. The area of separation is not in the contact patch with the surface of the road. This is a defect in engineering and construction in the tire itself. This calls for a mass recall. I put the trust of my pregnant wife into these tires and she complained to me about a wallowing car ride with a decrease in handling, especially over bumps and on the highway. I could not see an issue. A few days later she informed me of a tire pressure indicator on the dashboard. It indicated tow low rear tires. Upon inspecting the tires I found both sides with a decoupled sidewall. Driver side being far worse than passenger. I immediately drove to discount tire and the tire pressure sank from 26psi to 8psi in less than 4 miles. This could have proved fatal for my wife and unborn child on the highway. The tire company and the stores dont want to accept accountability. The stores just want to sell more tires. I am having them replaced at a cost of $610 per tire. Thats equaling to almost $3000 spent on tires in 7-8 months. Please investigate this matter. This is a defect. Not wear. The vehicle previously had falken tires that lasted 24000 miles with smooth and even treadwear. No issues, no defects.

In the time of 2 years of ownership of this vehicle, I have had a blown out tire happen 3 separate times with these particular tires, whether it has been the rear left side or rear right side, leaving me stranded on the street.

Rear tires have alarming wear on the inside, where the inside sidewall meets the tread. This is identical to the other complaints that are logged on NHTSA about michelin pilot sport 4s rear tires on Tesla Model S plaid cars. Tires are: michelin pilot sport 4s 295/30 zr21 102y xl bsw. Specifically, the right rear tires loses pressure and needs to be reinflated. The left rear tire, according to inspection, actually looked worse, but is not yet losing pressure. This is impossible to see or know about without removing the tire or putting the car on a lift, since it is on the is inside sidewall/tread of the rear tire. There is high danger of a blowout because of some type of defect (camber/suspension or tire) which cannot be seen by the consumer. I would have never known about this if the tire technician had not alerted me, and probably would have had a high-speed blowout.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model S equipped with michelin pilot sport 4s tires, tire size:295/30/zr21, dot number:4m5203dx4321. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, his low tire pressure warning light would appear on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they discovered that the tread inside on both rear tires had severely worn to the extent that the wires inside both tires were exposed. The contact was informed that this defect could have led to a severe tire blowout. The mechanic also informed him that the failure was caused by a vehicle misalignment. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was informed him that a diagnostic would have to be performed to determine the cause of the failure. The tires had yet to be replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

The oem michelin rear tire used on the 2021 and 2022+ Tesla Model S has a serious safety defect which results in extreme wear/tread separation at the inner sidewall/tread junction. Numerous defective tires are shown on this thread, among others: https://teslamotorsclub. Com/tmc/threads/plaid-21%e2%80%9drear-tire-woes-factory-defect. 269394/ both Tesla and michelin report the tires are nationwide backorder (likely due to the number of tire failures in the field). Thus far, Tesla and michelin have taken no action on proactive tire replacements, despite repeated requests. (perhaps they are awaiting accidents with fatalities first?) please take action to secure a recall as this defect is extremely difficult to note as the tire tread separation occurs most often at the inner sidewall of the rear tires, a nearly impossible area to inspect.
