These aero covers have rubber prongs that extend up towards the side wall of the tire, making it look as though the aero cover and the tire itself are a single piece. However, owners have found that these rubber prongs or fingers can contact the tire sidewall when the car is being driven, wearing down parts of the sidewall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/01\/gloss-purple-tesla-cybertruck-looks-better-than-youd-expect\/\">Gloss Purple Tesla Cybertruck Looks Better Than You&rsquo;d Expect<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class='in-asd-content'>\n<h6>advertisement scroll to continue<\/h6>\n<div data-pw-desk='med_rect_atf' id='pwDeskMedRectAtf'><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript'>\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag('pwDeskMedRectAtf');\n  })\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  [Mobile]med_rect_btf --><\/p>\n<div data-pw-mobi=\"med_rect_btf\" id=\"pwMobiMedRectBtf1\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag(\"pwMobiMedRectBtf1\");\n  })\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The issue was recently explained in detail by T Sportline, a prominent aftermarket firm specializing in all things Tesla. After driving its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla-cybertruck\/\">Cybertruck<\/a> for a few thousand miles, it has found that these rubber prongs have started to rub against the sidewall. It says that the aero disc has worn the sidewall down by about 120 thousandths of an inch and that this would increase the more the vehicle is driven.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cybertruck Aero Cover Issue Explained - Revising Original Launch Edition Wheel Covers for Goodyears\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uj_6pc1EInk?feature=oembed\" onload=\"resizeIframe(this,this.parentElement);\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Owners on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybertruckownersclub.com\/forum\/threads\/update-aero-wheel-cover-recall-reason-making-contact-with-tire-sidewall-wearing-down-rubber.11949\/\">Cybertruck Owners Club<\/a> forum assert that Tesla has stopped delivering Cybertrucks with the aero covers installed while it works to fix them.
