Tire wear '19 -'20 e-tron?

I just rotated my tires this past weekend at 20k miles on the Goodyear 20". The thread depth was 6mm for LR, and 7mm for LF, RF, and RR. I figure the wear differences were caused by doing more right hand corners. The last set of Goodyears I had on the Model S lasted only 22k miles, so this is already much better. I'd be pretty happy if I can get 40k miles out of these tires.

Nice!
I don't think I'm on track for 40,000 miles...but only because of edge wear on the fronts. I haven't measured it but the majority of the treads are still well away from the wear indicator strips
I'm thinking maybe they didn't do such a great alignment job for me at the dealer.
I sure do wish I knew of a place with an real alignment guru....

A rotation would likely have minimized the cupping or at least spread it between the front and rear tires.

I'm more curious about your wear pattern history.
Trying to determine if these 1st/2nd generation e-trons have any particular tendency for edge wear or anything else
and I suppose related to that might be tire brand/model, etc....
How many folks have seen very even wear vs uneven....?
and for those seeing uneven wear do you have an explanation for it.... sporty high speed cornering, known maintenance issue, etc....?
And are some of the tire brand/models tending to wear noticeably better than others?

If Goodyear added a bit more meat to the outer tread blocks, this would be a nonissue, but that would likely come at the expense of less crisp handling. In retrospect, I’d say the current design is a decent compromise.

AudiCare does not include tire rotation. For my ICE cars both Audi and Costco recommended tire rotation every 5,000 miles. I expect 40,000 miles from a set of tires but since we get a bit of snow here I’m ok with replacing them early if necessary.

I got 39,000 miles on the OEM Goodyear tires. I had a flat in one of them and the dealer replaced all 4 tires with Goodyear again (the wheel and tire insurance stipulated the same tire as a replacement, and the others were due. So I only paid for 3 tires and got 4 new.
Overall the Goodyears are fine, but had I been able to choose, I would have moved to a different brand. I tend to prefer Michelin, but not sure they make an electric car tire.

on the rotation.....
I'm pretty sure the dealer short-cutted my 10k and 20k service intervals and skipped the rotation
I'm conflicted about it but mostly ok with it. Seems like whenever someone removes a wheel, they bend it and the car shimmies from that point on.... I'm happy to keep this car smooth like butter as long as possible
Art234, did you happen to notice hat sort of wear patterns you had at 39,000? very even? a little more on the edges?
