Tesla DI_a190 Rear tire tread depth low - Schedule service Inspect tires for rotation/replacement
What this alert means:
Your vehicle has detected that the rear tires have experienced more wear over time than the front tires, exceeding the recommended difference.
What to do:
It is recommended that the tread depth on all tires be inspected. As your tires wear during normal driving, the rear tires generally wear more quickly than the front tires.
Tire rotation is important to balance tire wear evenly across all tires.
Failure to rotate tires as recommended poses a risk of hydroplaning and losing control of the vehicle on wet roads. Failure to rotate tires also decreases the life of your tires, requiring premature replacement.
It is recommended that you schedule service via your Tesla Mobile App or with an independent service provider to have your tires rotated when:
- The difference in tire tread depth between any front and rear tire exceeds 1.5mm
- Your vehicle has been driven for more than 6,250 miles (10,000 km) since the last rotation
Tires may need to be replaced if the rear tread depth is determined to be at an unsafe level and a tire rotation is no longer adequate.
Upon completion of tire inspection and any necessary tire service, update your vehicle’s tire configuration to optimize your vehicle settings to your tires and clear the alert for at least 6,250 miles. For more information, see Tire Care and Maintenance.
It is not recommended that you rely on this alert instead of routine checks of tire tread depth. This alert should only be present when your vehicle estimates the tires are far beyond the recommended service interval.
This alert is calibrated for Tesla tires and is not expected to work with tires of different types or sizes, including combinations of different tire brands or models. It may not display, or may display prematurely, on vehicles using tires not recommended by Tesla. For more information on recommended tires, see Wheels and Tires.
