Tire care for Tesla owners
EVs are heavier and deliver instant torque, which means tires wear faster. Use this guide to keep handling predictable and maintain range.
Monthly checks
- Check tire pressure monthly and before long trips.
- Inspect for uneven wear on the inner edge.
- Verify tread depth before winter or rainy seasons.
Rotation and alignment
- Rotate every 6,000–8,000 miles or sooner if needed.
- Get an alignment if the steering wheel is off-center.
- Use EV-rated tires to reduce road noise and improve efficiency.
Efficiency tips
Slightly lower speeds and maintaining correct pressure can save energy. Combine this with smooth acceleration to extend tire life.
