They do, the torque plays a big factor, but I’d rather replace tires than pay the maintenance schedule for a 100k miles in an ICE car.

- mgarfias 3y agoIn the past 2years I’ve spent about 7k in tire related items on the MYP. I’ve spent ~ 250 in maintenance on my truck in that time frame. Note: I had to replace a bent wheel on the Tesla in July due to Portland roads. Then last month a different wheel cracked (also Portland roads). Rather than putting on another pos Tesla OE wheel for $900 I opted to get a nice set of forged wheels (19” vs 21”) for 2k. Gives me more sidewall to hopefully absorb the impacts and not bend the wheels.
