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
Rear tyres on powerful rear-wheel-drive coupes often last only 15,000–25,000 km; fronts last longer, 25,000–35,000 km. Soft UHP compounds also age quickly in heat, so replace at four to five years even with tread remaining.
Coupes typically need a load index of 88–101 with XL construction on many fitments, and a speed rating of W (270 km/h) or Y (300 km/h). Front and rear sizes often differ, each with its own load and speed requirement. Some Porsche, BMW and Mercedes-AMG models specify maker-approved tyres marked N0, *, or MO.
