Seasonal Tire Changes

Your Lucid Air may use 21" summer tires and 19" winter tires. Several vehicle systems rely on knowing the wheel size, so a system update is required whenever swapping wheels of different sizes.

Wheel Swap Preferred Method: Lucid Service Center

If possible, it is best to schedule your wheel swap with a Lucid Service Center. They will complete the entire procedure for you, including making the physical swap, resetting the TPMS, and updating the vehicle software to recognize the new wheel sizes.

Swapping the Wheels Yourself

Depending on where your seasonal tires are stored, you may find it more convenient to perform the swap yourself. After you swap the wheels, must reset the TPMS and update the vehicle software. You may do this yourself by following the prompts on the Pilot Panel or schedule a visit with Lucid Service Center to complete the procedure.

Warning: When lifting your vehicle, make sure you follow all jacking safety instructions.
Note: There is no danger driving the vehicle after swapping wheels but before updating vehicle software. However, you may notice minor dependencies with some systems such as a slightly inaccurate speedometer and odometer.

Removing and Installing Wheel Trim Covers

Removing One-Piece Wheel Trim Covers

  1. Locate the valve stem on the wheel trim cover spoke, which is typically located on the outer edge of the wheel, near the tire.
  2. Starting with one spoke, pull on the outer edge of the spoke to release. Repeat for each spoke until all of them are released.
    CAUTION: Too much force might damage the wheel trim cover spoke. Pull gently with force.
  3. Once all the spokes are released, remove the wheel trim cover.

The removed wheel inserts can be stored away for later reinstallation, if desired. Clean the removed parts prior to storage for ease of handling when re-installing.

Removing Multi-Piece Wheel Trim Covers

Lucid Air Dream Edition vehicles have a 5-piece wheel insert that look like this:


To remove Dream Edition wheel inserts:

  1. Grip the insert by inserting you fingers into the gap in the insert.
  2. Firmly pull until the insert releases from the wheel.
  3. Repeat for ther other four inserts on each wheel.
CAUTION: For proper wheel balance, all 5 inserts must be removed before driving.

The removed wheel inserts can be stored away for later reinstallation, if desired. Clean the removed parts prior to storage for ease of handling when re-installing.

Installing One-Piece Wheel Trim Covers

  1. Install the center section of the cover first until you hear or feel the wheel cover clip into place.
    Note: Make sure to align the valve stem hole in the correct location.
  2. Secure wheel insert spokes to the wheel by ensuring each one clips into place.
  3. To prevent wheel inserts from falling off while driving, check that all spokes are fully secured before driving.
CAUTION: When re-installing the 5-spoke, 21" Aerosport wheel insert, check the final assembly to ensure the insert (left arrow) is below the surface of the surrounding wheel (right arrow).


If the Insert is at or above the surface of the surrounding wheel (shown below) the insert is NOT properly seated.


Seating the wheel insert correctly may require substantial force.

Installing Multi-Piece Wheel Trim Covers

Lucid Air Dream Edition uses a special 5-piece wheel insert, see Removing Multi-Piece Wheel Trim Covers.
