Tesla Model Y Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval

Steps from the 2026 Tesla Model Y owner's manual (Vehicles with staggered wheels and non-directional tires can only be rotated side-to-side).

  1. Rotate the tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km), or sooner if tread depth differs by 2/32 in. (1.5 mm) or more since the last rotation.
  2. On vehicles with staggered wheels and non-directional tires, swap tires left-to-right only, not front-to-back, because front and rear sizes differ.
  3. After rotating or replacing tires, reset the tire configuration (see Tire Configuration).
