Use the recommended pressures even if the tire sidewall says otherwise. The door-pillar label covers a normal load: fully loaded frunk and up to five people. Check when tires are cold; about 1 mile of driving changes the reading. Never let air out of warm tires to match cold pressures.

Towing: don't use the door-pillar pressures. Use Tesla's towing pressures (50 psi 18"/20" All Season, 65 psi 20" All Terrain); see Towing.

Cold weather: tires lose about 1 psi for every 10°F (6°C) drop in outside temperature. If the tire-pressure light comes on, inflate before driving.

Replacements

Tesla's service-manual replacement tire table lists factory tire models, sizes and part numbers for the 20-inch fitments (for example LT285/65R20 All Terrain). It doesn't document 18-inch replacements, so we don't either; ask Tesla for 18-inch specs. Match the load rating and size listed.

General owner information, not factory service instructions. If anything here conflicts with your owner's manual or the Release Notes in your truck, those win.
