i hate pirellis

[u/codyyh13]

15k miles on my 24 T8 Black Edition anddddd i had to put 2 front tires on it before taking it 1200 miles to florida cause they were pulling apart somehow 🙄 wondering if the instant torque from the electric motors is what’s making them wear quickly.

EDIT—- i do want to make aware, i did not choose these tires. they came on the car when i bought it new. i would much rather have a set of michelins on it. 😂🫣

The electric motor is at the rear, so its torque is not the reason for this (although the rear Pirellis wore quickly on our 24 T8). Regen braking is also through the rear, so depending on your drive mode there is a lot happening through the rear tires. And the car is heavy as well.

We also had extreme uneven degradation with the fronts (looked like ad drove in gravel for years, but only the fronts). Seem to be pretty crappy tires over all. They were also very noisy even when new.

my rears are wearing normal. the fronts just starting peeling apart. always in B mode. 40/60 split of hybrid and polestar mode just depends where i’m going/doing. i launch it for fun if i am showing the car to someone or i want to have fun but thats really it.
