Seasonal Tire Types
Summer Tires
Your Model X may be originally equipped with high performance summer tires, all season
tires, or winter tires. Summer tires and all
season tires are designed for maximum dry
and wet road performance but are not
designed to perform well in winter conditions.
Tesla recommends using winter tires if driving
in cold temperatures or on roads where snow
or ice may be present. If not equipped with winter tires, contact Tesla for winter tire
recommendations.Warning: In cold temperatures or on snow
or ice, summer tires do not provide
adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions
is important to ensure the safety and
optimum performance of your Model X.
All-Season Tires
Your Model X may be originally equipped with
all-season tires. These tires are designed to
provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy
conditions. All-season tires can be identified
by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and
snow) on the tire sidewall.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy
or icy conditions. When installing winter tires,
always install a complete set of four tires at
the same time. Winter tires must be the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. Contact Tesla for winter tire
recommendations.
When equipped with winter tires, refer to the
tire warning label on the door pillar.
Winter tires can be identified by a
mountain/snow

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 X generates power
when the wheels spin. Always transport Model X 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 X 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 205) while the vehicle is being
winched onto a
