Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Owners report severe inner-tread wear on rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, concentrated where the inner sidewall meets the tread.
- Several drivers describe rear tire sidewalls delaminating or splitting open at the seam, sometimes on both rear tires within a short span of miles.
- Multiple owners link the wear pattern to the rear suspension defaulting to a low ride height with negative camber, which they say accelerates inner tire wear.
- Some complaints describe repeated pressure loss from pinhole leaks or slow leaks traced back to the worn or separated tread area.
- One owner reported three separate tire blowouts on the same vehicle over two years, occurring on either rear side.
- Owners note the issue appears identical across many other Model S and Model X complaints they found discussed online, suggesting a widespread pattern rather than an isolated defect.
