Tyres by Car · Tesla
Tesla tyres
Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y are among the UK's best-selling EVs. EVs are heavier and quieter and wear tyres faster, so the priorities differ from a petrol car.
Choosing tyres for a Tesla
Most of the Tesla range is electric, so the priorities are low rolling resistance to protect range, a high enough load rating for the battery weight, and quietness. Many Tesla models also run larger wheels, so confirm your exact size before buying.
The Tesla range covered here runs to 4 models, with fitments spanning 18 to 22 inch wheels. The whole range is electric, so low rolling resistance and a load rating that suits the battery weight lead the choice. Pick a model below for its common tyre sizes and the tyres worth fitting.
For tested picks, see the best tyres for electric cars, then match the choice to how you actually drive.

Tesla tyres: common questions
What are the best tyres for a Tesla?
It depends on the model and how you drive. Most of the Tesla range is electric, so the priorities are low rolling resistance to protect range, a high enough load rating for the battery weight, and quietness. Many Tesla models also run larger wheels, so confirm your exact size before buying. Pick your model for a specific, tested recommendation.
What tyre brands does Tesla recommend?
Tesla, like most manufacturers, fits premium original-equipment brands such as Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, Pirelli and Bridgestone. For replacements you are free to choose, so pick by how you drive and your budget rather than by badge alone.
How do I find the right tyre size for my Tesla?
Read it from the sidewall of a current tyre, the placard in the driver's door shut or fuel flap, or your V5C. Sizes vary by model, generation and trim, so confirm yours rather than assuming.
