Tesla Tyres: What You Need to Know

What Are Tesla Tyres?

Tesla doesn’t manufacture tyres. Rather, they work with tyre manufacturers on tyre designs that will work with Tesla electric vehicles (EVs). Tesla-approved tyres (let’s call them Tesla tyres) must meet the efficiency, performance and safety requirements of being used with a Tesla.

How do you know when a tyre will be Tesla-compatible? Look at the tyre sidewall. Many Tesla-compatible tyres will be marked with a T0, T1 or T2 marking, however some compatible tyres won’t feature this marking.

Do Teslas Need Specific Tyres?

Whilst the easy choice when replacing Tesla tyres is to buy the same tyre brand and model as was used in the vehicle when you bought it (the original equipment, or OE tyres), you don’t have to. There are a range of EV-specific tyres that may also suit your Tesla and budget. But note, they must be EV tyres, rather than standard passenger tyres, as we’ll explain next.

Can you use Standard Passenger Tyres on a Tesla EV?

No, EVs need unique tyres, and here’s why.

EVs are generally heavier than comparable petrol or diesel vehicles due to the weight of their lithium-ion battery packs. They also have a different weight distribution, (their batteries are typically positioned low across the vehicle floor rather than under a front-mounted engine). This lower centre of gravity, increased weight and instant torque delivery place additional forces through tyres when accelerating, braking and cornering. EV tyres are designed to meet these demands whilst providing adequate load capacity, grip and stability.

The features of EV tyres include:

  • Higher load ratings to support heavier battery-powered vehicles
  • Lower rolling resistance to help maximise driving range
  • Reinforced construction to handle instant torque and increased vehicle weight
  • Noise-reducing technology to create a quieter driving experience

How to Choose Tesla Tyres

If you’re looking to buy Tesla tyres, it’s important to consult your vehicle handbook and check the tyre specifications. Also consider your driving style, budget and priorities, including comfort and handling, range efficiency and tread life. 

If you’re not sure which Tesla tyre to buy, have a chat with one of the tyre experts at Jim’s Mobile Tyres.
