About the 245/45R19 size
Tesla Model S 19 in size, W/Y rated XL. Acoustic-foam EV tires (Pilot Sport EV, ProContact RX, ElectricDrive) are worth the premium for cabin noise and range.
The numbers mean: 245 mm section width, sidewall height 45 % of that width, and a 19-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 27.7 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Can I replace just one or two 245/45R19 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.
