How wheel size changes the cost of Tesla Model Y tyres
The cheapest Tesla Model Y fitment to re-tyre is 255/40 R20 101W XL (Model Y) at about £730 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 255/35 R21 98W XL with 275/35 R21 103W XL rears (Model Y) at about £967 — 1.3 times as much.
That is 1 inch of rim, about £237 more per set for each extra inch.
1 of the 3 fitments are staggered (different front and rear sizes). Staggered tyres cannot be rotated between axles, so the driven axle usually wears out first and pairs are replaced separately.
Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £967 to £1,164.
How often you pay depends on wear as well as price: car tyre cost explains how 73 Auto turns these prices into a yearly figure for a specific car.
