A vehicle’s originally equipped tires depend on the vehicle model and market region.

Tesla T-Mark

Tesla approved tires are identified by the "T-mark" on the tire sidewall, which indicates a specific tire model's progression according to Tesla specifications. For example, a T1 Michelin Primacy is newer than a T0 Michelin Primacy, but is not necessarily newer than other models of T0 tires.
