Tesla Roadster Spare Tire

The Tesla Roadster, a cutting-edge electric vehicle, does not have a traditional spare tire included as part of its basic equipment due to its unique design and features. Its emphasis is on optimizing efficiency, performance and storage space, while reducing excess weight, making a spare tire superfluous. Instead of a spare tire, the automaker provides a tire repair kit to manage emergencies. However, if a Tesla Roadster owner prefers to keep a spare tire, it must match the standard Roadster's tire specifications, which are 175/55R16 for the front and 225/45R17 for the rear, both of which are high-performance tires fitting the vehicle's superior driving dynamics and style. Nonetheless, Tesla ' s roadside assistance program ensures that Roadster owners are never left stranded due to a tire issue.

Tesla Roadster models manufactured from 2008 to 2012 have tires with overall diameter of 23.5", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Tesla Roadster years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Tesla Roadster vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 22.8" to 24.2". Some Roadster models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Tesla Roadster spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
