Tesla Model Y tire sizes for the Long Range and Performance variants have appeared on TireRack ahead of Tesla’s planned first deliveries.
The popular online tire distributor listed the following tire specifications for each of the Model Y variants, showing a “square set up” for the Long Range Model Y and Model Y Performance wherein all four tires have the same sizing. The Model Y with Performance Upgrade package will outfit the all-electric crossover with high-performance tires in a staggered configuration with wider tires in back.
- TESLA MODEL Y LONG RANGE:
19″: 255/45 (114mm sidewall, 711mm diameter)
20″: 255/40 (102mm sidewall, 711mm diameter) - TESLA MODEL Y PERFORMANCE:
19″: 255/45 (114mm sidewall, 711mm diameter) - TESLA MODEL Y PERFORMANCE UPGRADE:
Front: 21″ 255/35 (89mm sidewall, 711mm diameter)
Rear: 21″ 275/35 (97mm sidewall, 726mm diameter)
Tesla Model Y will come standard with Goodyear Eagle Touring tires, an all-season tire that can handle a wide range of climates, while the Model Y with Performance Upgrade is expected to have Pirelli P-Zero tires. The P-Zero tire is recommended for “Ultra High Performance” according to Pirelli’s website, and it may be perfect for those who intend to take full advantage of the Model Y’s 3.5 second 0-60 time and 155 MPH top speed. It’s worth noting that Tesla is known to make changes to its original manufacturer suppliers, including tires, in its production run.
Tire Rack recommends other tire brands for each specific trim of the Model Y, as well. The site pairs Model Y Long Range and Performance with the non-factory Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack, and Model Y with the Performance Upgrade with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
Tesla has both the Long Range and Performance variants of the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Powertrain available for purchase on its website. An optional Performance upgrade is available at no additional cost and equips the vehicle with an upgraded brake package, lowered suspension, Überturbine Wheels, Aluminum alloy pedals, and a 10 mph increase to the top speed to 155 mph.
The Long Range variant is available for $52,990 and the Performance options are both listed for $60,990.
