Tesla Model 3 Tire Rotation [Ultimate Guide]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In this video I will show you how to do a tire rotation on a Tesla Model 3. Anyone with the right tools can rotate your tires in less an hour. Tesla offers tire rotation as a mobile service which can cost about $50.
Rotating your tires every 6,250 miles or 10,000 kilometers helps with even tire wear and can make your tires last longer. For this reason, I do my rotation every 5,000 kilometers.

I rotate my tires about 3 or 4 times a year and save myself about $200. this out ways the cost of the tools. You will need a floor jack, tesla jack pad, 21mm socket, breaker bar and a torque wrench to do a tire rotation. Most of these can be purchased a your local auto parts store. You can purchase the jack pad directly from Tesla or Amazon. One of the reasons I do my own tire rotation is it gives me a chance to inspect the brakes and suspension and to clean wheels and rims.

You definitely should have axle stand under the front jack point very silly just with jack with both wheels off.
You are absolutely right. I should have used one on the front. Safety should always come first. Thanks for pointing that out and hopefully others will see your comment. Pinned to the top.
@@BCTeslaGuy nice videos pal watched most of them, I have brought lots of bits 😁 picking up mine in September 👍🏼
Congrats. From my experience after ordering mine, it feels like it will never show up. Lots of youtube videos, learn as much as you can before you get it. No matter how much you watch, it will amaze you the first time you drive it. Loving Tesla
@@dalemoore11 👍my edd says September 18-30 ordered July 22. How about you
@@IOXY3 August the 4th in the UK no update yet pal, I'm in no rush still need to sell my x5 😂
great work keeping the wheels and tires clean, inside and out. Don't imagine they get any cleaning at usual professional tire rotation shop.
You got that right! thanks
Great idea with the wooden blocks - I almost thought I'd have to buy a new low-profile jack, but just a couple wooden blocks, done!
Thanks. Excellent
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant video thanks. Just got my M3P.
Enjoy it. Best of the Best
Thank you for a great tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video outlines how I do my tire rotation and cleaning my wheels every 5,000 kilometers. You can do it yourself or take it to your local tire shop to get the rotation. Tesla also offers mobile tire rotation as a service.
Love my Teton torque wrench. Great quality at a good price. Thanks for the video. I’ll subscribe and thumbs up 👍🏽.
Thanks so much for the great instructional video. I was able to rotate my tire as you described. How do you know if you should also rotate them from left to right? Or how do you know if you have, "directional" tires?
Thanks.
Nice video. Definitely going to buy the rubber cleaner/protector and use while doing rotations and to keep the outside looking fresh.
Thanks. Adam's stuff works great and last much longer than other products.
Well done, Dennis! Keep going with all these fantastic videos 😉
Thanks. I see you are keeping yourself busy.
Yeah. Like one person said, get a jack stand. That's a good safety product to have for such a heavy car and with the batteries underneath the body of the car.
My only other suggestion is to get a separate brush since one brush you're using a cleaner and water and the other brush you want to keep dry and only use fir the oil (tire shine) you're applying.
Instead of wooden black to roll the car on, even though there isn't much ring with that if that's all you have, it might be better to buy the pads that are made for that. I know what they looking but can't remember what they're called.
Another piece of advice to anyone wanting to do this is if the EV has an emergency brake then use it. But I'm not it's necessary. If you're doing this on an ICE car then definitely use the emergency brake. Again, I'm not sure it's necessary but better safe than not. And if you're going to do this then depending on your driving I'd say time this for the spring or summer when it's more comfortable to work outside if you don't have a moderate temperature garage to work in or if you primarily park outside and don't have access to a garage or if you need more space than your standard home garage.
Next time I will be using jack stands for sure. I did use the correct Tesla jack pads. I picked up a new low jack so I won't have to drive up on blocks to get my old jack under the car. I agree that you should set the emergency brake. M3 has electronic emergency brakes and is set by double-clicking the park button. Will take your suggestion on separate brushes too. Thanks so much
I have that motomaster tire inflator from Canadian tire, it didn’t last long for the 12v plug to break
I've had mine a couple years but only used a few times. I will keep this in mind as I plan to get a good one for my RV. such a Viair.
I borrow my dad's... he uses the Ryobi One+ system
Great Video. I suppose you just rotated front to back. Is that the correct rotation?
That is correct. That is what Tesla does when they rotate tires.
Nice video, the cleaning was a nice touch, overlooked by most people. One question is that the tires appear to be non-directional on Tesla`s but no one rotates them in what I feel is the correct pattern. Everyone does front to back back to front same side of car. I myself install the fronts to the rear same side and then crisscross the rears to the front opposite sides. Only directional tires stay on the same side of car. Do you rotate same side because it is easier?
I agree totally that you should rotate your tires for RWD or AWD from rear to front and crisscross them. Tesla only does same side rotations because it's easier. I went to a used tire shop and bought a used tire on a rim with the correct wheel pattern 5x4.5 to show everyone the correct and easiest way to rotate tires. Pattern was correct but the shape of the rim wouldn't allow me to get it to fit. Once I get the correct one, I will do a video on it. Because Tesla requires the use of pucks to protect the battery and lifting my car and placing a jack stand under one side, then lifting the other feels really unsafe to me. I would prefer the tire swap method. Please be sure to check back when I make that video. thanks for watching
He didn’t actually show the tire rotation! I assume he reversed the tires, front to rear and rear to front but that not the only way to rotate tires! Usually you criss cross the front to rear and rear to front!
front to back is what Tesla does. I agree there are other patterns to rotate. I personally like criss-cross but it's hard to do with only one jack . Can be done with a spare tire. thanks for watching
Good vlog Dennis!
thanks
Can you just use the impact wrench to break the lugs or is that too risky?
sure. The lugs are steel lugs. You just need a impact strong enough. You should use a torque wrench to tighten lugs to Tesla's specifications.
What tire rotation pattern do you use?
Tesla does front to back when they are the same size. I'm old school and like the criss-cross front to back method. A little hard to do with only 1 jack. I'm heading to a used tire shop today to see what the price is for a tire on rim with 5-4.5" pattern so I can take the first tire off and move them. Takes a bit longer, but I think its better than just front to back on the same side. Would you be interested in seeing me to a rotation using a spare tire?
@@BCTeslaGuy yup
You do tire rotation every 10000km not 5000
I do mine every 5K as I don't drive it much. Tesla recommends 10K
Is this the 2021 original red color?
Yes sir. I ceramic coated it so the color is more vibrant and extremely glossy. If you're wondering, I used Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating.
@@BCTeslaGuy Very nice. I've ordered the TM3 with red multicoat myself and really like the look of yours. Thanks for the answer. 👍
I agree the red is beautiful. thanks
how do you balance your wheels tho ?
I have not noticed any difference since being installed. The manufacturer has videos on how tire installers can remove and replace when you install new tires. Guess that will be a question for the shop when that time comes.
You are rotating way too often if you have AWD.
I'm doing my first rotation on my 2022 LR AWD this weekend. It has 9k. This video was done when I had my 2021 SR+ RWD.
@@BCTeslaGuy hah funny I’m doing my first in exactly one week. I’ll have just over 8k on my ‘22 M3LR.
just verified mine. 8,099.73 Kilometers very close to yours
@@BCTeslaGuy sorry I should’ve specified miles.
