Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Did UK-market Tesla Roadster cars use the same tyres as US versions?
UK-spec Tesla Roadster 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's different about the 2008-2012 Roadster compared with other generations?
This is the 2008-2012 generation of the Tesla Roadster. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2008-2012 Tesla Roadster?
Most 2008-2012 Tesla Roadster cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
Why does the same Roadster generation list multiple tyre sizes?
Within one generation of the Roadster, Tesla offered different wheel sizes by trim and option pack. A Sport or M Sport variant might use wider, lower-profile tyres than the entry trim. Always go by the actual wheel fitted to your car.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Tesla Roadster?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Tesla Roadster drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
