Lucid AGT
Hi,

I have a 2023 AGT -- about 10K miles on it.

Any ideas on how long the Pirelli 21 inch tires should last on Florida roads?

Just curious.

Thanks in advance for any input.
 
Until they have 4/32" of tread left?
 
I have a 2022 GT 16,000 miles and 21 inch tire here in Naples, Fl. I am going to replace them this fall at around 18,000 miles. I probably could go a bit longer but looking forward to putting Michelins on it. Mike
 
I've used Pirelli P-Zero performance tires before and found them to be soft(er) (good- er).
~ about 20k miles.
If you get more then switch to Conti or Mich , as you drive like my wife.
I want my performance tires to be soft...

Please note that if you have a sidewall bubble in your 21" Pirelli you likely have a bent rim as well. Any force strong enough to break the sidewall cords can bend your soft alloy rims. That's why forged wheels ... (Dream Edition wheels ... ugly/beautiful).
 
Pirellis get loud when they wear - aside from the actual tread life, I would replace when you hate driving your silent car because the tires are so damn loud
 
2/32 is the legal limit. Drove mine to between 3-4/32. No real strong opinions on the matter. Over time you get conditioned to the grip level and noise level.

The new LM2 have a slightly harsher ride (not noticeable after a few days). Grip is better, but whether that is from the newness or design is beyond me.

FYI: 2/32 is where that small "bridge" between the treads is height wise. You will notice it if you run your finger along it. That is the physical marker for 2/32.

I got 23k here in San Diego (GT).
 
It really depends on the road conditions where you live and how you drive. You most likely will find the front tires wear out faster than the rears. This is because the car is so heavy it tends to push the front tires hard through turns. I have just replaced all four of my 21" Pirelli LM1 tires with the newer LM2 version. My fronts were at the replace recommendation wear level and my rears probably could have gone another 3-5K miles but I decided to replace all four with just under 20K miles. I drive aggressively on curvy mountain roads frequently so my mileage was less than others may experience.
 
I have 27k miles on my GT and it seems both my front tire needs to be changed.
What are the best options for 19” tires out there. I am aiming for smooth ride and not to lose any range.

OEM tires. You have an all season and winter option for 19".

I am looking for all season. I dont find tires listed in Lucid website. Do you have any link for purchasing them?
Is 27k miles on this tires seems ok? Sorry for this, this is my first vehicle i drove over 15k, i have never kept vehicle for this long 😜

The only way to check is to check the tread. If you’ve got a penny, use it: https://www.bridgestonetire.com/learn/maintenance/how-to-check-your-tire-tread-penny-test/

Alternatively, you can buy a measuring tool on Amazon or stop into any tire shop and they’ll measure it for you. This is one of the things you should absolutely be on the lookout for. Lucid also measures it at each service.

2/32” is the legal limit, but I’d find tires and replace at 4/32” on a car that has the weight and power of the Air.

TireRack will help you find tires, and will list the OEM options as well.

Discount Tire / America’s Tire is also fantastic, and can be slightly cheaper than TireRack, and if you want you can buy their certificates as “tire insurance” against road hazards. But note: you do not need to buy the tires from them to get their certificates; you can just show up, they’ll inspect and sell you certs.

You have a few options.

1) Purchase from TireRack with delivery to a local tire shop to mount and balance.
2) Schedule an appointment with a Lucid Service Center to get it done.

I've attached the tire information.

May be worth stopping by your local tire shop to see if they need to be replaced. The tires may be rotated as the 19" are rated for 40k or 50k miles (memory fails me on the exact mileage) to extend the life of them (depends on many factors such as driving style).

(Also, 27k miles is pretty good; it depends on the tire, but many are rated to 30k or so, with exceptions for summer tires which are warrantied for less usually and “minivan” tires which can be up to 50-70k but drive a lot worse)

Checked that, it seems fronts have pretty worn out feels like no more thread left. Rears looks like they still have 2 to 3k miles left.

Does those work for Lucid, they are listed as compatible for my car. Also tires from Costco Comes with 5-year Road Hazard Warranty.
 
I was just advised by Lucid Service that my tires should be replaced (24,000 miles) and both the front and back need alignment. Does anyone know if alignment on the Lucid can be done by tire dealers. I'm going to squeeze a few more miles out of the tires and replace them in October prior to my long road trip.

Most will balance, but alignment takes separate hardware most tire shops don’t have (but some do!)

Lucid will happily align for you at a service center too.

My car is currently in for service to replace a coolant valve. The service center is 3 hours away and they don't want to do the alignment without replacing the tires first (makes sense), but I would like to wait on the tires (they aren't that bad, yet), and get them replaced in October.

TireRack should be your go to source for whether a tire will work. Where you buy the tire is a different story.

I recommend OEM, but YMMV.

Also make sure to get your 19s rotated regularly, so you can avoid having to replace two and can replace all four at once.

Lastly, I absolutely do not recommend having half your tires be one kind and half another; they will wear differently, because the tread patterns are different, but most importantly: the car may handle unpredictably, which may never matter, but your tires are the one thing that matters most in your safety; they are the one thing that keeps you on the ground.

I would replace all four, now, if you do the Bridgestones (the links don’t work, btw). I would not have half OEM (which I believe is Pirelli) and half Bridgestone.

If you replace with OEM, that’s fine, as they’ll be the same tread pattern, and then you can just replace two.

My $.02
