Vehicle tire guide
Tesla Model 3 tire sizes and tire options
Factory tire sizes for the 2024+ Tesla Model 3, what each tire category is good and bad at, and live Tire Rack prices for each size. Always confirm your size, load index and speed rating on the placard in the door jamb, since optional wheels change the size.
Factory (OEM) tire sizes
| Trim / wheel | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / Long Range, 18-in wheel | 235/45R18 | Same as front |
| Standard / Long Range, 19-in wheel | 235/40R19 | Same as front |

Tesla marks its approved tires with a "T" code on the sidewall and lists approved models per size in its service manual. Non-T-mark tires in the right size fit, but range and noise can differ.
Which kind of tire for how you drive
All-season
Pros: Year-round convenience with some light-snow ability. Usually longer tread life than summer tires.
Cons: Less grip than a summer tire in warm weather, and not a substitute for winter tires where winters are harsh.
All-weather (3PMSF)
Pros: Carries the severe-snow (three-peak mountain snowflake) symbol, yet can stay on all year.
Cons: Usually gives up some dry handling and tread life compared with a touring all-season.
Winter
Pros: Best traction on snow and ice, and stays pliable in the cold.
Cons: Wears quickly in warm weather, so it needs a seasonal swap and ideally a second set of wheels.
Summer performance
Pros: Most dry and wet grip and the sharpest steering.
Cons: Not for snow, ice or near-freezing temperatures. Softer compounds usually wear faster.
These are general trade-offs between tire categories, not reviews of specific tires.
