Find Tyres for 2025-present Tesla Model Y

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Should I fit EV-specific tyres to the Tesla Model Y?

  EV-specific tyres are designed for the extra weight and instant torque of electric drivetrains. Many 2025-present Tesla Model Y cars were supplied with EV-rated tyres (often labelled "EV", "Elect" or with a snowflake-and-bolt). Sticking with EV-rated rubber tends to preserve range and tread life.

• Is the Tesla Model Y still on sale in the UK?

  As of the 2025-present window, the Tesla Model Y is currently on sale in the UK. Tyre fitments listed here reflect UK-market specifications.

• Did UK-market Tesla Model Y cars use the same tyres as US versions?

  UK-spec Tesla Model Y cars often had different wheel and tyre packages from US-market versions. Use the size on your sidewall — don't rely on US owner forums for fitment.

• What do star/OEM markings mean on Tesla Model Y tyres?

  Tesla approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.

• What tyre size does the 2025-present Tesla Model Y use?

  Common UK factory fitments for the 2025-present Tesla Model Y include 255/45 R19, 255/40 R20, 255/35 R21. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
