Common questions
What size tyres does my EV need?
Check the tyre placard on the driver's door jamb or the sidewall of your current tyres. The tool above shows the factory size for each version, but wheel options and updates can change it.
How much do EV tyres cost per year?
Most EVs use a set every 35,000 km or so, which is about every 2.7 years at 250 km a week. That works out at roughly $350–$700 a year, mostly depending on wheel size.
Do low-rolling-resistance tyres save money?
A little. They can add around 5% to your range, which is worth about $30–$60 a year in charging for most drivers. Wet grip and tyre life matter more.
