Tesla Model Y Spare Tires
The Tesla Model Y used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2020 to 2025 along with tire diameters ranging from 28.0" to 28.6" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Tesla Model Y years and options. In this case, 145/85R18 and 195/55R20 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Tesla Model Y spare tire.
