What should Tesla Model S tire pressure be?

Recommended tire pressure for Tesla Model S tires ranges from 38 psi to 45 psi, as set by vehicle manufacturer according to model's original equipment tire size and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to optimize vehicle safety, performance and fuel efficiency.

Where to find recommended tire pressure for Tesla Model S?

Tesla Model S recommended tire pressure can be found in owner's manual, on a tire placard on the side of driver's door or door jam, on the trunk lid, in the console or on the fuel door. Tire inflation will be listed in psi (pounds per square inch), bar or kPa (kilopascals).

How to check tire pressure on Tesla Model S?

To check Tesla Model S tire pressure you will first need to determine its recommended tire pressure for the front and rear tires. Take off tire valve caps and use a tire pressure gauge to check tire inflation in every tire. Adjust Tesla Model S tire pressure to its recommended levels. If overinflated, let some air out by pressing down the center plunger in the valve stem. If underinflated, add air with tire inflator. Recheck tire pressure to make sure all tires are properly inflated. Replace the valve stem caps. Make sure to check tire pressure when tires are "cold" and have not been driven for at least 3 hours. Remember that the front and rear tire pressures may differ.

What is proper tire pressure for Tesla Model S replacement tires?

If you replace Tesla Model S original equipment tires with non-stock tires that have different size or load capacity, new tires may require substantially different inflation pressures. Use our tire pressure calculator to find proper tire inflation when switching to a different tire size.

What is recommended winter tire pressure for Tesla Model S?

Tire pressure fluctuates with ambient temperatures. When temperatures drop, Tesla Model S tires may lose approximately 1 psi of air pressure for every 10 degree Fahrenheit decrease.

Do not overinflate above the maximum tire inflation pressure value indicated on tire sidewall. Make sure to check tire pressure regularly in the winter to keep tires properly inflated for a safe ride on snow and icy roads.

Is Tesla Model S equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)?
