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.

When to replace the tyres
Most SUV tyres last 35,000–55,000 km in the UAE. Heavy SUVs wear tyres faster, especially if pressures are allowed to drop. Replace at about five years regardless of tread, and check the spare as well.
Compact SUVs typically need a load index of 100–104 with H or V rating. Large SUVs such as the Land Cruiser, Patrol and LX need 110–116, often with S, T or H rating on H/T and A/T tyres. Many European SUVs specify XL tyres. Never go below the placard load index on a heavy SUV.
