When I asked earlier about tire rotation, I was told that when rotating tires they should be front to back. This would indicate that they are directional. Not sure what the failure mode would be if you took the right rear and made it left front and installed the new tires on the rear.I have to replace 2 drivers side wheels/tires due to a pothole induced blow. Have a complete wheel/tire package coming. Can the fronts/rears be interchanged between drivers side or passenger side or are the wheels and/or tires directional.
The tread of the OE 19" Continental ProContact RX tires and the 20" Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on the Long Range Model Y are not directional. On the Long Range Model Y Tesla's recommended tire rotation is front to back. (You can't rotate the tires on the Performance Model Y front to back as the rear are wider than the front.)When I asked earlier about tire rotation, I was told that when rotating tires they should be front to back.

These two statements seem contradictory.The tread of the OE 19" Continental ProContact RX tires and the 20" Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on the Long Range Model Y are not directional. On the Long Range Model Y Tesla's recommended tire rotation is front to back.
How so? The Long Range Model Y originally came with either 19" (standard) or 20" (optional) wheels. The OE 19" tire was the Continental Procontact RX. The OE 20" tire was the Goodyear Eagle F1. The tread on these two model tires is not unidirectional. The Tesla Model Y Owner's Manual currently states:These two statements seem contradictory.
If they are non-directional, you can do a cross rotation. Not that you HAVE to.The tread of the OE 19" Continental ProContact RX tires and the 20" Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on the Long Range Model Y are not directional. On the Long Range Model Y Tesla's recommended tire rotation is front to back.
While it’s true that you can cross rotate non-directional tires, it doesn’t prevent Tesla from recommending front to back only.If they are non-directional, you can do a cross rotation. Not that you HAVE to.
You could do it without jack stands, it just requires an additional wheel and more work. Pick a corner, lift, swap with the extra wheel, then lower. Move to the next corner in rotation and repeat until you’re back to the first corner and swap out the extra wheel.The Tesla Model Y Owner's Manual does not currently state how you should rotate non-staggered tires. It is my understanding that Tesla Mobile Service will normally rotate tires front to back (where applicable). Left to right rotation would require jack stands. I do not know if Tesla Mobile Service is able to perform left to right and cross over tire rotation.
I'd be surprised if that wasn't some anomaly of your tyres. Otherwise 20" Inductions singing on the right side would be a talking point. Soon find out.Thanks. An odd thing came up this spring, in the 2nd year owning our TMY LR with the 20" induction rims used in warmer weather, I noticed a right front sound that is similar to a turboprop airplane propeller when driving at highway speeds. I wonder if the direction of the wheels makes a difference at least on the front right position? Maybe I just didn't notice this sound before? I do thing the wheels look identical. Odd but just another little quirk about these amazing vehicles.
Tires are not directional, there’s no preference in which way they spin when driving.Thanks.
