Replacement Tire Information
Refer to the following table for information on the tires recommended and sold at Tesla Service Centers.
Tesla-Approved Tires
Engineered to work seamlessly with Tesla’s electric vehicle drivetrains, Tesla-approved tires are built to optimize performance, safety, reliability, and durability. The majority of Tesla approved tires are available for purchase only through Tesla.
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.
