2022 Tesla Model 3 Spare Tire
The Tesla Model 3, like all electric vehicles (EVs) produced by the company, does not come with a spare tire in the standard package, primarily due to considerations of weight and space optimization for better EV range and performance. Instead of a spare tire, Tesla provides a tire repair kit that includes a compressor and sealant to temporarily fix punctures. However, Tesla owners have the option to purchase a spare tire separately, potentially a lightweight, compact, and full-size spare wheel, depending on personal preference and trunk space. The standard wheel size for the Model 3 ranges between 18 and 20 inches, so it's crucial to select a spare that matches these specifications to ensure optimal vehicle operation.
2022 Tesla Model 3 comes with 3 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Tesla dealership to confirm the correct 2022 Tesla Model 3 spare tire size.
