Find Tyres for 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y

Frequently asked questions

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

• Where should I check the original tyre size for my Tesla Model Y?

  Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.

• 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 2020-2024 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.

• 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.

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

  As of the 2020-2024 window, the Tesla Model Y was on sale in the UK during this period. Tyre fitments listed here reflect UK-market specifications.

• The Model Y uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?

  Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.
