Product Details
Upgrade the way your 2021+ Tesla Model X drives with a 22-inch UP-05 Wheel & Tire Package engineered for performance, durability, and day-one fitment confidence. Each package combines forged 6061-T6 UP-05 wheels with carefully matched 22-inch all-season performance tires, so you get sharper steering, stable high-speed tracking, and dependable traction in real-world conditions. Everything is curated around Model X clearances and hardware, making selection simple and installation straightforward.
Forged strength, EV smarts
UP-05 wheels are forged from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum for high strength at low weight. A robust 900 kg (≈2,000 lb) load rating per wheel handles EV mass, passengers, and cargo without complaint, while knurled bead seats help resist tire slip under instant torque and heavy braking. This translates to confident response when you merge, pass, or descend mountain grades—exactly where heavy, fast EVs demand more from the wheel and tire interface. Tesla-specific engineering means the wheels accept factory center caps, lug nuts, and TPMS for a clean, bolt-on install.
Two dialed 22-inch fitments
- Staggered performance: 22×9.5 +35 (front) on 265/35R22 and 22×10.5 +35 (rear) on 285/35R22. The wider rear increases footprint and traction, delivering a planted launch and a more athletic stance. If you prioritize grip when accelerating and want the most assertive visual, choose staggered.
- Square versatility: 22×10.5 +35 (all around) on 285/35R22. A square setup enables front-to-rear rotation for more even wear and easier long-term maintenance. This is the pick for high-mileage families and cross-country travelers looking for value without sacrificing stability.
Seven tire families—curated for EV life
Every package uses proven all-season or ultra-high-performance all-season compounds that balance dry/wet grip, noise control, and tread life for a powerful crossover. Staggered selections pair 265/35R22 front with 285/35R22 rear; square runs 285/35R22 at all four corners.
- Hankook iON evo AS SUV – EV-focused construction for quiet rolling and strong wet traction.
- Yokohama Geolandar X-CV – Crossover-tuned stability with refined highway manners.
- Yokohama Parada Spec-X – Street/sport all-season with crisp steering and an athletic tread design.
- Toyo Proxes ST III – Confident on-road feel, straight-line stability, and even wear characteristics.
- Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus – UHP all-season standout for variable climates.
- Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (265/35 & 285/35) – Benchmark steering precision and wet grip with everyday comfort.
- Inventory Flex Option – A rotating, in-stock alternative to keep popular sizes available during peak demand.
Which package fits your drive
- Choose staggered 22×9.5 / 22×10.5 if you want maximum rear traction, a performance-forward stance, and confident acceleration with a loaded cabin.
- Choose square 22×10.5 if tire rotation, long-term value, and simple servicing are priorities. The uniform footprint makes maintenance predictable and extends usable tread life.
What you’ll notice on the road
Expect faster turn-in, calmer lane changes, and a composed feel at freeway speeds. The 22-inch dimensions visually fill the arches while forged construction helps control unsprung mass, supporting range and responsiveness. Pair that with EV-savvy tire compounds and you get quiet comfort on the commute and reliable grip when weather turns.
What’s included
- Four UP-05 forged wheels in your chosen 22-inch fitment
- A matched tire set (staggered 265/35R22 & 285/35R22, or square 285/35R22)
Install & setup notes
Designed specifically for the 2021+ Tesla Model X. We recommend a professional alignment after installation to optimize toe/camber for your selected width and to promote even wear. Follow tire manufacturer cold pressure guidance and adjust for load, climate, and driving style. Because this is a complete package, you can move from delivery to driveway with minimal hassle; choose your fitment, bolt on, and enjoy the upgrade the same day.

What do knurled bead seats actually do?
Knurled bead seats are a fine machined texture where the tire bead meets the rim. That texture grips the bead and helps stop the tire from rotating on the wheel under sudden torque or hard braking, which matters a lot on an instant-torque EV like the Model X. It is a small detail that protects balance and prevents slow leaks over the life of the tire.
Which tire is best for a high-mileage Model X family?
For big annual mileage, the square 22×10.5 setup with the Hankook iON evo AS SUV is a sensible match, since that tire is EV-focused for quiet rolling and strong wet traction, and the square layout lets you rotate for even wear. If you want benchmark steering precision instead, the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is offered in both 265/35 and 285/35 sizes.
How many tire choices does the 22-inch UP-05 offer?
You get seven proven families to choose from: the Hankook iON evo AS SUV, Yokohama Geolandar X-CV, Yokohama Parada Spec-X, Toyo Proxes ST III, Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, and the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. There is also a rotating in-stock Inventory Flex option to keep popular sizes available during peak demand. That breadth lets you match tire character to climate and driving style.
Do 22-inch wheels ride worse than smaller diameters on the X?
A 22 has a shorter sidewall than a 20 or 21, so it transmits more of the road and is less forgiving over sharp impacts. What you gain is the most dramatic arch fill, sharper turn-in, and stable high-speed tracking. The forged construction helps control unsprung mass to keep the ride composed. If comfort outranks stance, step down to a 20 or 21. For the same diameter with a cleaner spoke, see the 22-inch UP-03 package.
Can Unplugged Performance fit these at their Hawthorne shop?
Yes. Our team in Hawthorne, California can install the 22-inch package and carry out the recommended post-install alignment in the same visit, so the car leaves dialed in for your chosen width. Out-of-state owners can be referred to a qualified installer. Because the tires ship mounted and balanced on the wheels, the bolt-on portion is quick and the alignment is what fine-tunes wear.
