Directional Aero Engineering

The TSA Directional wheel uses side-specific aerodynamic slots around the outer wheel face. The directional design is optimized for the appropriate side of the vehicle to help reduce drag around the wheel area and preserve range.

18-Inch Ride Comfort

The 18-inch wheel and 235/45R18 tire combination provides more sidewall than the Model 3's larger 19-inch and 20-inch factory wheel packages, helping absorb sharp impacts from rough pavement and potholes while providing additional protection from curb contact.

Stay-Clean Full Face

The TSA features a full-face design with heat-expelling aero slots to help the brakes function properly. The full face effectively covers more of the brake area and greatly reduces the brake dust that typically dirties wheels. The TSA stays cleaner longer and is exceptionally easy to wash and maintain.

Ride Comfort	More sidewall cushion than the Model 3's 19-inch and 20-inch factory packages	Touring and all-season tires generally emphasize quietness and comfort
Pothole Protection	More impact-absorbing sidewall than larger-diameter wheel packages	Correct cold tire pressure is essential for maximum protection
Curb Protection	Taller sidewall provides added protection for the wheel edge	Sidewall shape and rim-protector design vary by tire model
Handling & Steering	Balanced factory-size response for everyday driving	Ultra-high-performance all-season and summer tires provide the sharpest response
Dry Traction	Factory-size contact patch preserves predictable Model 3 handling	Performance summer tires provide maximum warm-weather grip
Wet & Snow Traction	Factory-size geometry supports proper vehicle-system operation	All-weather snow-rated tires offer the strongest winter capability; summer tires are not intended for freezing or snowy conditions

View the T Sportline Tesla Wheel & Tire DIY Installation Guide
Follow the recommended cold tire pressures on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information label (located on inside the driver side door jam). Check pressure after the vehicle has been parked out of direct sunlight for more than three hours. Use our AMAXX Tesla Digital Tire Inflator for convenient pressure checks and adjustments.
Rotate tires every 6,250 miles, or sooner if tread-depth difference reaches 2/32 inch, to help maximize tread life and maintain even wear.
When installing wheels, torque the 21 mm lug nuts to 129 lb-ft (175 Nm).
After tire service, drive approximately five miles to allow the TPMS readings to update.
Tire pressure changes with temperature, driving and sunlight. Underinflation can reduce range, accelerate wear and create a safety risk.
Teslas do not come with a spare! Consider purchasing a Tesla spare tire package to ensure you never get stranded with a flat.

FAQ

Can I use my Aero Covers / Hubcaps on the 18" TSA Directional?
No, the Aero Covers / Hubcaps only fit on your factory wheels.

Does the 18" TSA Directional use the same tire size as the factory 18" Model 3 wheel?
Yes. This package uses the factory-size 235/45R18 tire.

Do your TSA Directional wheels fit my factory center caps?
Yes. The 18x8.5" TSA Directional wheels accept factory Tesla center caps, factory lug nuts, factory TPMS sensors and factory-size 235/45R18 tires. No aftermarket wheel hardware is required.

How are the 18" TSA Directional wheels made?
They are manufactured using a low-pressure-cast process and tested to JWL, VIA, SAE J2530 & TÜV standards.

Do I need to change the color of my existing lug nuts and center caps to match my new TSA Directional wheels?
That's an aesthetic decision only you can make. All TSA Directional wheels come with T Sportline color-matched center caps.

What is the warranty on TSA Directional wheels?
Click here for T Sportline Limited Warranty

How long until my TSA Directional wheels arrive after my order?
We process orders within 72 hours unless your wheels are back-ordered. Please allow 1–7 business days of transit time from the day you receive a tracking number. We will email you if your wheels are back-ordered.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship worldwide and offer flat-rate FedEx/DHL shipping to select countries.

Will installing your Wheel & Tire Package void my warranty?
Changing wheels and tires won't void your Tesla warranty unless Tesla can prove that our wheels caused the need for repairs. We also use the factory-size 235/45R18 tire. In other words, your warranty will still be valid when an unrelated vehicle component malfunctions, even if you've upgraded to our Wheel & Tire Package.
