- In this video, I show you how to properly rotate your tires on your car (Tesla Model Y). This is an in-depth tutorial that applies to a Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and any other car. It is important that you rotate your tires because, over time, they wear differently. To ensure your tires last a long time do as I instruct in this video.

This is the only video on TH-cam where someone actually does it correctly. All of the other videos has some clown jacking up the vehicle and proceed to take off the wheels using the jack as the support. Then you got other clowns copying that clown and soon it's a freaking circus. If you don't have access to a lift, you can still do a tire rotation by lifting at the control arms and then putting a jack stand where the pucks go. That way you can get a jack stand on both lift points on each side. I've been working on cars for over 25 years and I swear I see Tesla owners do the dumbest crap. I'm just waiting for one day when the jack fails and someone loses a finger, hand, or foot.
By the way, great video but I do have one suggestion. There is a service menu that you should go into which will immediately reconfigure the tpms location. I do that after every rotation so the tpms location is correct rolling out of the garage. It may automatically adjust but I do things by the book.
Haha, thank you. This is the way that I have always been taught, and I agree that Tesla owners can be.... unique.... At times😂
Excellent Information Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
Great info. You might want to add to change the tire pressures on these wheels after rotation. We've different tire pressures on front vs rear wheels.
Thanks for the feedback, I guess I just assumed that most people would check the car's tpms system to see if the pressure was correct. Thanks for bringing that up!
Unless it is the performance model, you shouldn't have different tire pressures. they should all be at 42psi.
No. 42 front, 42 rear on this vehicle
I just did front to back on each side, I didn’t do the cross. Am I going to have any issues?
Nope, there are many patterns to do it in. No singular correct way👍
But the stock model X has different size front and rear wheels and directional rims so you can't rotate anything unless you go aftermarket wheels first, and even then you would be reversing direction which is generally not recommended.
The X's do have a different front and rear tire size that makes it so that so they cannot be rotated. As long as you pick a wheel and tire combo that have the same size tires and don't have directional tread (which hardly any do) then you will be able to rotate them.
Can you do an X pattern tire rotation as well on the Model Y AWD?
Yes, I show how to do a front cross rotation (which I do on all of my vehicles). But the rear cross and double cross (X) rotations are acceptable as long as you have non-directional tread.
@@TheMileHighMechanic would x pattern or rear cross be better than the other? If you committed to one should you keep the same pattern for every future rotation?
@@kimwong2053 There is not a "better" tire rotation technique due to the fact that a tire rotation is performed to reduce uneven tire wear. Also, I would try to stick to one technique to ensure that you get the longest life of your tires.
I have always done front to back and it worked well for me
Your plan only works if the front and the Rear tire sizes are the same.
My model S had different sizes front and rear.
Also if you have air suspension you need to put the vehicle in jack mode.
That is correct. Yes, only performance models and some model s come with staggered set ups. The model Y does not have air suspension so it doesn't have jack mode.
How often should you rotate the tire?
Every 5,000 miles on the Tesla but on a normal car around 10,000
Tesla Mobile mechanic came and just put the rear straight up to the front and the front straight back to the rear, no criss cross!!!
People do it different ways but I prefer to criss cross 2 tires so they wear down more evenly. If you do it the way showed in this video, the tires will end up being in every location, or in other words, 1 wheel will end up being in every position on the car (thus making it wear like all the other tires). Moving the back ones up and the front ones back isn't bad, but it will make it so that the left tires never leave the left side and the right tires never leave the right side. So what i'm trying to get at is that doing a cross makes the tire rotation more of a "rotation" instead of just a "swap." I do appreciate your input and I hope you found my video helpful and informative.
@@TheMileHighMechanic Agree! Thought it was strange they didnt do it your (traditional) way. I would have prefered it.
@@Matador50 Yeah I mean it is always something that can be changed. I made this video to assist people and encourage them to do it themselves. I personally don't take my cars anywhere to get work done (besides an alignment) because I like having the confidence in knowing that the job was done right and the way I want it. If you want to do it yourself all you need is some tesla pucks, special jack stands and a low profile jack.
I had my Model Y tires rotated today. Just swapped front with rear without crisscross. I asked about it and he said there is no right or wrong way.
@@howardlerner4958 Correct, there is no wrong way, but to ensure more even wear on all of the tires you would want to do a cross. This gets the tires to every spot on the car this making them wear even.
What’s your red impact gun?
Sorry for the late response. The impact cun is a 1/2in Earthquake XT; you can find it at Harbor Freight.
@@TheMileHighMechanic thank you!
@@bullgod999 Thank you as well!!!
What are the chances that a standard tire shop will use Tesla pucks?
I have taken the Tesla to Discount Tire and that's where I first heard of them. So to answer your question, I know Discount Tire uses them and if they use them would bet that some of the other shops are on the same page.
@@TheMileHighMechanic you in Denver? I read some horror stories about some shops not using it and puncturing the battery lol
@@driftx2 I am in Colorado Springs. If you are worried, you can always ask them before you go in for service if they use them or something like them. If none of the shops around you have them, I would just order them and do it yourself.
@@TheMileHighMechanic cool Yea I did it. Myself today. 129 ftlb was a pain lol.
@@driftx2 Yeah tell me about it. I'm glad you were able to get it done.
You didn’t address how to reset TPMS after tire rotation. How is that done?
There was no need to reset the TPMS system because the car does it on its own.
@@TheMileHighMechanic How long does it take? After rotating the wheels, I drove 3 different times for ~45mins and they didn’t recalibrate.
@@tony45682 Moving the wheels (aslong as they are the stock wheels) will not affect the TPMS system. The car should instantly recognize where the wheels are, and read out the pressures accordingly due to its ability to track the sensors in the wheel. Are you not seeing pressures?
@@TheMileHighMechanic Everything is stock. I have a 2018 M3, and it finally updated; took a full day. Evidently on mine it’s not instantaneous.
@@tony45682 hmmm, interesting. Im glad everything worked out!
Awesome
Im glad you enjoyed!
@@TheMileHighMechanic hell yeah
@@TheMileHighMechanic what kind of tool did you use on last part?
@@khao1412 If you are talking about the one that made all the clicks, that is a torque wrench. I have a video of me unboxing it here on my channel too.
@@TheMileHighMechanic will find down cuz i need one of those
I don't know about this. I'm going to have to stick with Tesla's recommendation and simply move front to rear and rear to front on the same side keeping rotational direction the same. Not on every car, but at least on my Teslas
That is one way to do it, but unless you have directional tread on your tires, there is no reason to keep them all spinning in the same direction. The rear "X" balances out different wear characteristics from each corner. This leads to more even tread wear on all of the tires. There is no wrong way to do a rotation, but this is the way I found that works best
@@TheMileHighMechanic That makes sense.
You can’t rotate on a model X right?
Yes, you can and should rotate your tires on any car or truck.
Model Y performance has different size tires on front vs back. So this video doesn’t work for a model Y performance when it comes to pattern.
I do not think all performance models have staggered wheel sets but in the case that you do, you cannot rotate them . You will just have to swap another set on if you want to "rotate" them to keep them from wearing too much.
It’s amazing that nearly everything about this is WRONG. That’s hard to do. I guess, nice job?
How is this wrong?
