Cybertruck Tire Sets Run $1,474 to $2,120, Far Above F-150 Prices
A set of factory-size Cybertruck tires costs $1,474 to $2,120, Carscoops reports, against $480 for a basic F-150 set. Aftermarket and Rivian prices compared.
Replacing the tires on a Tesla Cybertruck costs well over what owners of most full-size pickups pay. A pricing survey by Carscoops puts factory-size sets at $1,474 to $2,120, and on flagship trims the bill can pass $2,000.
Carscoops also notes that the truck’s heavy curb weight and high torque can wear tires out sooner than owners expect. Rivian’s R1T, another large electric pickup, has the same problem.
Which tires the Cybertruck uses
Tesla’s owner’s manual lists several fitments, according to Carscoops. The base truck on 18-inch wheels rolls on all-season Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT tires in size 285/70R18. On 20-inch wheels, buyers get either all-season Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires (285/65R20) or the tougher Goodyear Wrangler Territory R/T (LT285/65R20). The “LT” marks a light-truck tire built for heavier loads, and this version has a sidewall shaped to match the Cybertruck’s wheel covers. Drivers in cold climates can pick a 20-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac R/T.
The Cybertruck tire bill by the numbers
- $1,474: the cheapest factory option, a set of 18-inch tires bought from independent retailers.
- $2,120: Tesla’s own price for a set of the heavy-duty 20-inch tires with the custom sidewall.
- $3,650: Tesla’s 20-inch Core Wheel and Pirelli Winter Tire Package, with wheel covers sold separately for another $320.
- $996 to $2,149: the range Carscoops found at Tire Rack, from an Advanta ATX 20-inch set up to the Goodyear Wrangler Territory R/T in 20 inches.
- $1,728 to $3,164: tire sets from Tesla tuner Unplugged Performance, starting with an 18-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 and topping out with 24-inch Nitto Recon Grappler tires (295/45R24).
- $3,957 to $11,195: what Unplugged Performance charges for a full set of four wheels with tires mounted.
How gas pickups compare
Owners of gasoline trucks pay much less. Carscoops priced a 17-inch Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 set for the updated 2027 Ford F-150 from $480, and an 18-inch Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport set for the same truck at $574. Entry prices for 18-inch sets were $621 for the Chevrolet Silverado, $688 for the Ram 1500 and $492 for the Toyota Tundra.
Even the pricier choices for those trucks stay under the Cybertruck’s factory sets. Among 18-inch tires, one of the most expensive options Carscoops listed was the Toyo Open Country M/T (LT275/70R18) at $1,715 a set.
Rivian R1T sits in the same price range
The electric Rivian R1T is closer to the Tesla. A set of 22-inch Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV winter tires costs $2,216, according to Carscoops, and the wheel-and-tire sets on Rivian’s website go as high as $5,981.
What it means for Cybertruck owners and shoppers
Tires are a regular running cost, and for this truck that cost sits closer to a high-end electric pickup than to a mainstream half-ton. An owner who sticks with Tesla’s heavy-duty 20-inch tires pays $2,120 per set, while a basic F-150 set starts at $480. Because of the truck’s weight and torque, Carscoops says, the Cybertruck’s tires might also need replacing sooner than owners expect.
Aftermarket sellers cut the price for owners willing to leave the factory fitments. The Advanta set at Tire Rack costs $996, against $2,120 for Tesla’s heavy-duty set. Bigger wheels push costs the other way: Unplugged Performance’s 24-inch tire set runs $3,164 before any new wheels.
Carscoops says tire costs belong in the budget for anyone ordering a Cybertruck or a similar large electric truck.
