Tesla tyre tips
- Tesla-approved tyres carry a T0 or T1 marking and many have acoustic foam inside, which cuts cabin noise noticeably.
- Foam-lined tyres can be plugged or patched, but the foam must be cut back first, so tell the technician it is a Tesla.
- Rotate Tesla tyres every 10,000 km; the Model Y and Model 3 Performance wear the rear tyres quickly.
- Lift the car only at Tesla's jacking points; jacking under the battery pack can cause expensive damage.
Common factory tyres on Tesla: Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Hankook, Goodyear.

When to replace the tyres
Expect 40,000–60,000 km from a set on a front-wheel-drive sedan with regular rotation, and replace at around five years regardless of tread. Front tyres wear faster, so rotating every 8,000–10,000 km makes a real difference.
Most sedans need a load index of 88–98 and a speed rating of H (210 km/h) or V (240 km/h). Larger sedans on 18 inch wheels often specify 94W or 95V XL. Always match or exceed the figures on the door placard.
