Find Tyres for Tesla Roadster

Frequently asked questions

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

• Why does the Tesla Roadster have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Tesla Roadster has had 2 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• Where do I find the load index for Tesla Roadster tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Tesla Roadster.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Tesla Roadster in the UK?

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Tesla Roadster.

• How do I find the right tyres for a Tesla Roadster?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Tesla Roadster. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.

• Can I mix tyre brands on a Tesla Roadster?

  It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Tesla Roadster. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.
