WARNING: If your Cybertruck is equipped with
aftermarket tires that differ in size from those
printed on the Tire and Loading Information Label
(see Vehicle Loading on page
driver's responsibility to determine the correct tire
pressure. Do not drive on public roads when tires
are not inflated to the correct pressure.
WARNING: Do not depend on TPMS sensors to
accurately determine pressures and trigger alerts.
It is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressures (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on
page 184). Over or under-inflated tires can result in
loss of control or tire damage, which can lead to
serious injury.
TPMS Malfunction
Cybertruck has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the tire pressure indicator
light. When the system detects a
malfunction, the indicator flashes for
approximately one minute, then remains
continuously lit. This sequence continues
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the TPMS
malfunction indicator is on, the system
might not be able to detect or signal
under-inflated tires as intended.
TPMS malfunctions can occur for a variety of reasons,
including installing replacement or alternate tires or
wheels that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction indicator light after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement tires or wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE: If a tire has been replaced or repaired using a
different tire sealant than the one available from Tesla,
and a low tire pressure is detected, it is possible that the
tire sensor has been damaged. Use the mobile app to
schedule a service appointment to have the fault
repaired as soon as possible.
Replacing a Tire Sensor
If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays frequently,
schedule a service appointment to determine if a tire
sensor needs to be replaced. Non-Tesla Service Center
must replace using a Tesla OEM sensor.

Seasonal Tire Types
Understand Your Tire Type
207), it is the
The type of tires that your vehicle is originally equipped
with depends on vehicle model and market region. It is
important to understand the capabilities of your
vehicle's tires and whether they are suited for summer,
all-season, or winter driving. Check the information on
the sidewall of a tire for information about a tire's
performance characteristics (see
184).
Summer and All-Season 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. All-
season 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.
If driving in cold temperatures or on roads where snow
or ice may be present, Tesla recommends using winter
tires.
All-Terrain Tires
Use all-terrain tires if you regularly drive on gravel and
dirt roads. All-terrain tires are suitable for driving on
both paved roads (city streets, highways, etc.) as well as
off-road (sand, dirt, mud, etc.). All-terrain tires must be
the same diameter, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
When driving with all-terrain tires, you may experience
more road noise, shorter tread life, and less traction on
dry roads.
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 diameter, brand, construction and
tread pattern on all four wheels.
WARNING: In cold temperatures or on snow or ice,
summer and all-season 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 Cybertruck.
