The 2026+ Tesla Cybertruck Standard Dual Motor AWD ships on 18x9” wheels with a 285/70R18 Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT, a highway all-season tire oriented toward long-range comfort and efficiency. For the Premium AWD and Cyberbeast on 20” wheels, see the 20” tire guide.
OEM Wheel and Tire Specs
The 18” OEM wheel measures 18x9” with a +58.5 offset, a 6×139.7 bolt pattern, and an 84mm centerbore. This wheel package is exclusive to the Standard Dual Motor AWD trim.
The Cybertruck trim lineup is worth clarifying. Tesla launched the Cybertruck with the Premium AWD and Cyberbeast (Tri-Motor) models, which were both available as Foundation Series vehicles. Tesla previously referred to what is now the Premium AWD as the “AWD” or “Standard” at various points. These vehicles all came from the factory with 20” wheels. The Standard Dual Motor AWD, which ships on the 18” wheel package documented here, was added in February 2026 after the initial launch of the Cybertruck and represents the entry-level configuration. If you are unsure which trim you have, check your wheel diameter: 18” means Standard Dual Motor AWD, 20” means Premium AWD or Cyberbeast.
| Tire Model | Size | Load/Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT | 285/70R18 | 116H XL | Standard OEM |
The 285/70R18 is a tall, narrow-profile tire by modern truck standards, meaning tire selection can be limited. It measures approximately 85.6cm (33.7”) overall diameter, providing generous ground clearance and a comfortable ride over rough surfaces. There is no special Tesla designation such as T0 or T2 on this tire, which is not a required designation in the first place.
Before You Buy
Tire size. The OEM 285/70R18 is a tall-sidewall, highway-comfort fitment that takes advantage of the 18” diameter to maximize sidewall height. Any replacement should stay within ±3% of the OEM 85.6cm (33.7”) overall diameter to maintain speedometer accuracy. Going significantly smaller or larger in overall diameter on the 18” wheel is possible but affects the Cybertruck’s geometry and odometer calibration. Other trims of the Cybertruck came stock with a 2.6% larger 87.8cm (34.6”) 285/65R20, signaling that using a larger tire is well within the OEM clearances.
The tire availability tables on this page include a few alternative sizes that are within ±3% of the OEM diameter. 275/70R18 and 275/75R18 are 10mm narrower than OEM. The tradeoff is a marginally narrower contact patch for slightly better rolling resistance. 295/65R18 and 295/70R18 are 10mm wider. The wider treadwidth fills the 9” wheel well and increases the contact patch. Best suited for owners prioritizing road presence and more rubber on the road. For flotation sizes, the OE tire is very close to a 34x11.5R18, while a 275/75R18 is close to a 34x10.5R18.
Curiously, a 285/75R18 is just 0.7% taller than the 285/65R20 on the Premium AWD and Cyberbeast.
Load index. The OEM tire is XL-rated at 116 load index. The Standard Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck weighs 6,660 lbs and needs every bit of tire support. Maintain a 116 XL load index minimum and do not substitute a Standard Load tire. If considering an LT-metric alternative in this size, match or exceed the equivalent dual load rating.
TPMS. The Cybertruck uses BLE Bluetooth TPMS sensors. These sensors stay in the wheel during a standard tire swap — the installer demounts the old tire, mounts the new one, and the sensor is not disturbed. You should not be charged for new sensors on a standard replacement. After a swap, recalibrate via Controls > Service > Wheel & Tire > Tires on the touchscreen, select your configuration, and tap Reset. Drive over 15 mph for a few minutes for the system to learn the new pressures.
Spare Tire and Toolkit. The Cybertruck does not include a spare tire or tire mobility kit from the factory. Tesla offers an optional spare tire and tool kit through their online store that is designed to be strapped down in the Gear Locker. Owners who travel off-pavement or in remote areas should seriously consider this upgrade.
AWD tread depth tolerance. When replacing tires in pairs rather than all four, put the tires with the most remaining tread on the rear axle. Full four-tire replacement is preferred when the tread depth difference between axles exceeds 2/32”.
Highway All-Season
The OEM Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT is a highway all-season tire — optimized for long tread life, quiet highway cruising, and all-season capability on wet and lightly wintry surfaces. This is the right category for Standard AWD owners who use the Cybertruck primarily on pavement and want a long-wearing, fuel-efficient replacement.

Non all-terrain tires are more limited for the Cybertruck’s 18” tire profile.
On-Road All-Terrain
Owners who want more off-road capability than the OEM Highway All-Season provides without moving to a full rugged all-terrain should look at on-road all-terrain tires. These offer improved grip on gravel, dirt, and light off-road surfaces while retaining tolerable highway manners.

Off-Road All-Terrain
Off-road all-terrain tires step up from the on-road category with more aggressive tread patterns, deeper voids, and compounds tuned for loose and technical surfaces. They are suited to owners who regularly run forest service roads, rocky tracks, or moderate trail terrain but still need to commute on pavement. Expect more road noise and slightly higher rolling resistance than an on-road all-terrain tire in exchange for meaningfully more off-road grip.

Rugged All-Terrain
For Standard AWD owners who use the Cybertruck as a work truck or off-road tool, rugged all-terrain tires provide substantially improved off-road capability, puncture resistance, and load capacity. The tradeoff is higher road noise and increased rolling resistance, which will reduce estimated range per charge more than the OEM highway tire.

Note that rugged all-terrain tires in 285/70R18 are widely available — this is a common light truck size shared with many full-size pickups.
Off-Road Max Traction
Max traction tires, also known as mud terrains, are for owners who take the Cybertruck to serious off-road destinations: rock crawling, deep mud, sand, and technical trails where traction is the only variable that matters. The open, aggressive tread blocks that provide this capability come with real on-road tradeoffs: significantly more highway noise, reduced tread life, and higher rolling resistance than any all-terrain category. Furthermore, Off-Road Max Traction tires are mediocre to poor in the snow.

Winter
The Cybertruck Standard Dual Motor AWD delivers significant electric torque, which increases the importance of dedicated winter tires in serious winter conditions. The OEM highway all-season tire handles light snow but is not a substitute for a dedicated winter tire on ice or packed snow and does not carry a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating. Typically a seasonal swap to a second set of smaller-diameter wheels is the most practical long-term approach, however, caliper clearance is a concern as is tire choice.
Tesla offers a winter wheel package option for the Cybertruck in both Core and Cyber Wheels. The Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 in 285/65R20, carrying a T0 Tesla designation and PNCS foam lining, is the OE supplied winter tire. This is also the easiest performance winter option for Standard AWD owners and allows for more tire choices when the Scorpion Winters are ready for replacement.
Mounting and Installation
A few reminders specific to the Cybertruck:
- TPMS sensors stay in the wheel. The Cybertruck uses BLE Bluetooth TPMS sensors integrated into the valve stem. Do not pay for new sensors on a standard tire swap. A valve stem seal check is normal.
- Recalibrate TPMS after the swap via the touchscreen: Controls > Service > Wheel & Tire > Tires. Select your configuration, tap Reset, then drive over 15 mph for a few minutes.
- Lug torque spec: 151 lb-ft (205 Nm). Confirm your installer uses the correct spec and a calibrated torque wrench.
- No spare is included from the factory. The optional Tesla spare tire and tool kit is available through Tesla’s online store. Strongly recommended for off-road or remote use.
- New tires go on the rear. When replacing in pairs, put the tires with the most remaining tread on the rear axle.
