2022 Tesla Model X tires in Los Angeles

What tire size does a 2022 Model X use?

It depends on the wheel package and trim your car was built with, not just the model year. Model X cars are commonly seen on 20", 21" and 22" wheels depending on year and trim. Read the size from the sidewall of a current tire or the placard in the driver's door jamb, and we will confirm the size, load index and speed rating that suit your specific 2022 Model X.

Model X fitments change with wheel package and model year, and larger diameters narrow the field considerably. Some configurations are staggered. Read both front and rear sizes off the sidewalls, and let us verify load index before you commit to a set.

Choosing tires for a 2022 Model X

The Model X is heavy, tall, quick and often carrying a full cabin. In Los Angeles it spends its life on hot freeways and rough surface streets, which is a demanding combination for any tire — and unforgiving of the wrong load rating.

• Load capability is the starting point. A three-row electric SUV puts a lot of mass on four contact patches. The correct load index is a safety matter, not a preference, and it is the first thing we verify on a Model X.
• Large wheels, fewer choices. At 21 and 22 inches the number of appropriate tires shrinks and prices climb. That makes availability worth checking early — and makes it more painful to buy the wrong thing.
• Wear that points at alignment. Weight and torque expose alignment and pressure problems faster than on a lighter car. A Model X that eats inner shoulders is usually telling you something specific, and replacing tires without addressing it repeats the bill.

We do not publish fitment tables for individual model years, because trim and wheel package change the answer and we would rather be right than fast. Send us the year, trim and size — or a photo of the sidewall — and we will identify the correct options.
