Fitment specs, load ratings, EV range impact, TPMS compatibility, and everything else you need to know before swapping tires or wheels on your Cybertruck.
The Tesla Cybertruck comes from the factory with:
When shopping for replacement tires, stick to the 285/65R20 size unless you're prepared to deal with speedometer calibration, fender clearance, and potential warranty implications.
The Cybertruck weighs approximately 6,800–7,000+ lbs depending on configuration. This is significantly heavier than most trucks and SUVs. Every tire you consider must have an adequate load rating.
| Load Index | Max Load per Tire | Adequate? |
|---|---|---|
| 116 | 2,756 lbs | Minimum (4 x 2,756 = 11,024 lbs) |
| 120 | 3,086 lbs | Good |
| 126 (LT) | 3,748 lbs | Excellent (if towing) |
Always check the load index on any tire before purchasing. Running under-rated tires on a Cybertruck is a safety hazard.
Switching from highway tires to all-terrain or winter tires will impact your Cybertruck's range. Here's what to expect:
| Tire Type | Range Impact | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Highway/Touring | Baseline (0%) | Lowest rolling resistance |
| All-Terrain | -5% to -12% | Heavier, more aggressive tread |
| Mud-Terrain | -10% to -20% | Very aggressive tread, heavy |
| Winter (dedicated) | -8% to -15% | Softer compound + cold weather |
The heavier the tire and the more aggressive the tread, the more energy the Cybertruck uses. All-terrain tires like the Falken AT3W tend to have less range impact than more aggressive options like the Nitto Ridge Grappler.
The Cybertruck uses direct TPMS sensors that communicate wirelessly with the vehicle. If you're mounting new tires on your existing wheels, the original sensors stay in place — no issues.
If you're buying new wheels (e.g., a winter wheel/tire package), you'll need:
Budget an extra $40–$80 per sensor for aftermarket TPMS sensors.
