About the 245/35R21 size
Front tire of the 2012-2020 Model S 21 in staggered set (rear 265/35R21), Y rated XL. Pilot Sport 4S T0 and Pilot Sport EV; wear is fast on Performance models.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 245/35R21 tire is 245 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 35 percent of that (about 3.4 inches tall), and it mounts on a 21-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 27.8 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 96Y on the Atturo AZ810, Hankook iON evo AS and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 ROF (1,565 lb per tire, rated to 186 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Atturo AZ810, our budget pick here at $137.96, is also stocked in 275/45R21 ($171.08), 265/35R22 ($140.96), 305/40R20 ($164.96) and 255/50R19 ($131.96).

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
Winter on an EV in this size
Electric vehicles are heavy for their size and deliver full torque instantly, which is exactly what loosens a tire on snow. Most EVs in this size are all-wheel drive and pass Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, on the vehicle alone, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread; a rear-wheel-drive version needs tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Whatever you fit, keep the load index at or above the door placard, since EV tires are usually XL rated for the battery weight, and expect any winter or all-weather tire to cost some range through higher rolling resistance.
Vehicles that use 245/35R21
- Tesla Model S (2012-2020, 21 in front)
- Maserati Ghibli (2014-2023, 21 in front)
Other years and wheel packages of the same models came on 245/45R19, 265/35R21 or 255/45R19 instead, so read the placard inside the driver's door before you order.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 245/35R21 tires cost?
Expect $100–$144 per tire for a budget brand, $144–$317 for a mid-range tire like the Hankook iON evo AS, and $317–$515 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 ROF. A set of four therefore starts at about $400. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 245/35R21 tires?
245/35R21 is original equipment on Tesla Model S (2012-2020, 21 in front) and Maserati Ghibli (2014-2023, 21 in front), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 245/35R21 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Hankook iON evo AS, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 ROF is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Atturo AZ810 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 245/35R21 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
