E-tron tire troubles

[DKeode29]

Anyone else dealing with a total nightmare of punctures on their etron? I’ve seriously had FIVE in just a few months! Before this car, I could go years without a flat. And they’re all in different spots, so I’m not just rolling over the same nail strip. Is it the weight of the car? The camber? Or is there some weird etron curse going on?
Any advice before I go totally broke buying new tires would be so appreciated!

This whole flat tire thing with EVs is a thing, apparently. Tesla owners were complaining about this ages ago. It's because these EVs are so darn heavy a pebble that would just give my old gas-guzzler a love tap can apparently give my EV's tire a full-on stab wound. No one seems to have figured out a fix yet. I've seen stories online of people throwing in the towel with their EVs and going back to gas cars because gravel roads are their nemesis. I'm starting to think I should carry a tire repair kit, a spare tire and a prayer.

Five in a few months sounds crazy! It could be a combination of factors like tire quality, driving conditions, or road hazards. Maybe try switching to a more puncture-resistant tire?

Anyone found any solid tire brands for EVs, or should I just embrace the tire repair kit struggle?
