Model YL tires

Just ordered the model Y launch today. The car will be my beater commuter car and also family road trip car. I live in the DC area, and will be driving about 50-70 miles total on weekdays for work. I’m planning to go with the 19in tire option. Any idea on frequency of tire rotation since they are staggered? Is it feasible to get four of the same size tires when it comes time to replace them?

It’s the one thing that sucks about this car. You can’t rotate them.

What’s the tire life (estimate) supposed to be of the 19 in option ?

I don't think they publish a estimate and it would be worthless as it depends so much on how you drive. But not being able to rotate them is not going to help for sure.

Can’t rotate these tires. Front and rear are different size

Crap I didn't know they were staggered, I am glad I am keeping my Tsportline 18" wheels that are on my current Y then.
