2 Answers
The tire model for Model Y 20-inch wheels is 255/40R20. Here is the relevant information: 1. Performance: The imported Model Y has a range of 505km, accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 5.1 seconds, and is available in five-seat and seven-seat versions, with the seven-seat version being more expensive than the five-seat version. The domestic Model Y is also equipped with CATL batteries. 2. Models: The Tesla Model Y pre-sale includes three different versions: Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range, and Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Performance.
I often help people configure electric vehicle tires. The standard tire size for Tesla Model Y's 20-inch wheels is 255/40R20, with the factory commonly using Michelin Pilot Sport EV or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric models. The 255 represents a tire width of 255 millimeters, 40 is the aspect ratio, and R20 refers to a 20-inch wheel diameter. The design emphasizes low rolling resistance to improve range while enhancing grip to accommodate the high torque of electric vehicles. The battery weight of the Model Y causes uneven tire wear, with the front tires potentially aging faster, so regular checks on tire pressure and wear are crucial. If non-EV-specific tires are installed, the range may drop by 5%-10%. I've seen friends experience a surge in energy consumption after switching to regular tires, leaving them full of regret. When upgrading wheels, the 20-inch ones look cool and offer better handling, but comfort decreases, making speed bumps feel harsh—trade-offs must be weighed against daily use needs. For tire changes, it's recommended to visit a Tesla-authorized shop to ensure factory matching and avoid ABS false alarms.
