Tesla Cybertruck owners face significant maintenance costs, with a single set of replacement tires reaching up to $2,120 (approximately Rp 38.4 million).
Due to the vehicle’s substantial curb weight and high-torque electric powertrain, these specialized tires experience accelerated wear, necessitating a higher frequency of replacement compared to traditional internal combustion engine pickup trucks.
- High Replacement Costs: Standard tire sets for the Cybertruck range from $1,474 to over $2,100, significantly exceeding the maintenance budget required for conventional trucks.
- Performance-Driven Wear: The extreme torque inherent in the Tesla platform accelerates tire degradation, creating a recurring operational expense for owners.
- Market Variability: While OEM options from Tesla are priced at a premium, aftermarket alternatives vary widely, with some specialized 24-inch configurations reaching $3,164 per set.
According to reports from oto.detik.com and gadget.qoo10.co.id, the replacement cost for Cybertruck tires is dictated by specific wheel sizing and tread requirements. The base model, equipped with 18-inch wheels, utilizes the Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT, which is priced at $1,474. For the 20-inch wheel configuration, Tesla offers the Pirelli Scorpion ATR or the Goodyear Wrangler Territory R/T, with the latter retailing at $2,120.
For owners in colder climates, the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac R/T 20-inch tire is the recommended choice. Additionally, gadget.qoo10.co.id noted that simple cosmetic additions, such as extra wheel covers, add $320 to the total service bill.
The aftermarket sector provides a spectrum of pricing that does not always guarantee lower costs. Data from Tire Rack, cited by oto.detik.com, shows that while budget-friendly options like the Advanta ATX 20-inch set are available for $996, premium alternatives remain expensive. For example, a set of Goodyear Wrangler Territory R/T tires through aftermarket channels can cost $2,149, slightly higher than the official Tesla factory pricing.
Specialized tuner Unplugged Performance offers high-end modifications for the vehicle. Their catalog includes the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 18-inch set at $1,728 and the high-performance Nitto Recon Grappler 24-inch set at $3,164. For owners seeking full wheel-and-tire packages, gadget.qoo10.co.id reported that these bundles range from $3,957 to $11,195, reflecting the niche market for high-performance electric truck components.
The cost disparity between the Cybertruck and traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) pickups is substantial. Maintenance data compiled by oto.detik.com demonstrates that standard tires for legacy trucks are significantly more affordable. The following table summarizes the market comparison for tire sets across various pickup truck models.
| Vehicle Model | Tire Specification | Starting Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Ford F-150 | 17-inch Yokohama Geolandar | $480 |
| Toyota Tundra | 18-inch Standard | $492 |
| Ford F-150 | 18-inch Bridgestone Dueler | $574 |
| Chevrolet Silverado | 18-inch Standard | $621 |
| Ram 1500 | 18-inch Standard | $688 |
| Tesla Cybertruck | 18-inch Goodyear Territory | $1,474 |
The high cost of replacing tires for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) vehicles, particularly the Cybertruck, is a reflection of the vehicle’s unique tire requirements and high torque.
The weight of the battery pack and the high-torque output necessitate tires with specific load ratings and reinforced sidewalls, which limits the availability of low-cost, generic options. As reported by gadget.qoo10.co.id, these costs are effectively a “hidden” ownership premium that differentiates the electric pickup segment from traditional light-duty trucks.
Owners will face a higher cost-per-mile for tires than Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado drivers, who benefit from a more mature, highly competitive tire supply chain.
