Understanding Tire MarkingsLaws require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire.1Tire category. P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles.2Tire width. This 3-digit number is the width (in millimeters) of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge.3Aspect ratio. This 2-digit number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread
width. So, if the tread width is 205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height is 102 mm.4Tire construction. R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction.5Wheel diameter. This 2-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.6Load index. This 2 or 3-digit number is the weight each tire can support. This number is
not always shown.7Speed rating. When stated, indicates the maximum speed (in mph) at which the tire can be used for extended periods. Q=99 mph (160 km/h), R=106 mph (170 km/h), S=112 mph (180 km/h), T=118 mph (190 km/h), U=124 mph (200 km/h), H=130 mph(210 km/h), V=149 mph (240 km/h), W=168 mph (270 km/h), Y=186 mph (300 km/h).8Tire composition and materials. The number of plies in both the tread area and thesidewall area indicates how many layers of rubber coated material make up the structure of the tire. Information is also provided on the type of materials used.9Maximum tire load. The maximum load which can be carried by the tire.

Instructions for Transporters
DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor in Model S generates power
when the wheels spin. Always transport Model S with all four tires off the ground.
Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at any
time during transport.
Warning: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR
VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY
CAUSE THE SURROUNDING
COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model S using any method
that is not specified by Tesla. Adhere to the
instructions provided in the following sections
and observe all warnings and cautions provided. Damage caused by impropertransporting of your vehicle is not covered by
the warranty.
Approved Methods for Transporting Note: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly
(under 5 km/h) and for a very short distance
(less than 10 meters) only when Transport
Mode is enabled (see Activate Transport Mode
on page 188) while the vehicle is being
winched onto a
