Extra weight helps with traction off the line although yes, you have to contend with momentum when turning and braking. Torque is actually a non-issue because EVs can instantly adjust torque output at the motors as opposed to a regular car that has to use brakes to slow down the slipping wheels while the engine is still trying to turn them. It's far less dramatic when you floor an EV on a slippery road.

Thank you for this report ! Very useful.

Rolling resistance is a function of (tire design and) deformation, which is a function of the contact patch which is mainly a function of weight and tire pressure (the sidewall being a small contributor). Therefore, even on a gas car, the rolling resistance gains of using an EV tire are real. Of course, as gas cars have way more losses all round, the relative impact of tire rolling resistance is small

As for EV vs ICE - I'm a petrolhead as well, shunned diesels all my life, but the reality is that the better EVs are better than ICE in almost every way, except noise/emotion. But that's what project/weekend cars are for :) Getting 0-60 times of 4.7s and "consumption" that's equivalent to 2l/100km of diesel is a pakcage many dreamed of. And since moat new ICE cars are already heavy, the extra battery weight isn't even that bad...

Thx for sharing. I have an electric car & I used both tires with foam & without. I really didn’t notice any noise difference. The tires I used were the Michelin pilot sport 4S & the A/S. Really didn’t notice if affected my range as well. I do know the staggered set affects range. Cheers

My MG ZS EV was running Michelin Primacy 3 EV tyres, but I swapped them for a set of Hankook Kinergy 4S2s for the better performance in the lousy weather we had at the start of the year. Only difference in spec was a higher load index than what was originally fitted (95 v 91). Wear has been comparable to what I was getting with the same model of tyre on my old Golf estate, although I was carrying a bit of extra weight in the Golf at the time, so not quite a straight comparison. Economy hasn't been too bad, I did over 1000 miles on the original tyres, I've done close to 8000 on the new ones, and the figures are acceptable for me. I don't mind how long I'm charging for, I'd rather know I'll get to my destination no matter the weather 🤣

This is great! Would love more EV-focused videos. I live in a rainy climate (Seattle) and I'm buying a Mustang Mach-E. I'm looking for an all-season tire (I'm lazy) with good wet weather performance, and won't decimate the range on the Mustang.

I really enjoyed your video its very informative thank you! I completely agree that an EV tire is better for an EV. I’ve owned my Audi e-tron for just over two years and I ordered the 19 inch Audi rim with the Bridgestone Alenza tire which is designed specifically for low rolling resistance. The EPA rated range for the E Tron with a 20 inch and all season tire is 204 miles or 324 km. With my combination of 19 inch rims and Bridgestone low rolling resistant summer tires I’m getting easily 350 km or more range this past year I’ve been getting up to 450 km of range a few times quite often 400 km. Bridgestone Alenza tires are great for range and amazing in dry and wet conditions. They are also super quiet and very comfortable as they have a much higher profile than a 21 or 22 inch rim. Audi states the the larger rims may be better for extreme handling but they are heavier and give less range than using a 19 or 20 inch rim. So I’d you are wanting more range I recommend the 19 or 20 inch rims and a low rolling resistance tire that more tire manufacturers are coming out to market with. The Alenza tires have also worn very well. I’ve put on at least 55,000 km on these summer tires and my tread is still above the wear bars. Last week My Bridgestone Alenza tires helped me to complete a Canadian record setting drive for an EV across Canada from coast to coast of over 7,000 KM including 2 ferries of 11 hours of ferry travel and 38 charging stops in 4 days, 18 hours and 25 minutes.

cheers mate. this made my mind up

I‘m the person who did thing the other way. I have a Toyota Rav4 hybrid and I've installed 4 Tesla Model Y 19inch OE wheels on my car. Those Tesla wheels have the Hankook EV tires on them and my actual experience was a bit different than what you said would happen in the video. The acoustic foam, which is a big selling point, is in fact useless. Road noise is worse after I fitted Tesla wheels. You can't feel it because you are in one of the most quiet vehicle in the market. Go ask Model Y owners, they will tell you how terrible the noise is. And then the fuel economy, I find very little impact. Even though the Tesla wheels are heavier(30+kg each vs 25kg each) and wider(255mm vs 225), I still have around 5.5L/100km city consumption. So my conclusion, after 2000km on EV tires, is that EV tires on conventional cars is not good idea😅

Putting this EV tire on a petrol car would still be an interesting (entertaining) test :-)

Agree on EVs but in general, meaning day-to-day charging is a non-issue. It charges when it's parked. Does not matter how slow. At the grocery store, at IKEA, at the playground. Of course some destinations may be chosen based on charging infrastructure. For long trips, my experience is, the car is quicker ready to go than we are. It's mostly a myth.

Isn't it rather obvious why EV tires are more expensive? All that R&D put in for a smaller amount of customers. Plus it's more challenging to make good EV tires. In addition to that the materials differ. But the latter is probably a smaller part of it all. I can't answer wether all this justifies the difference fully, but even though it might be a bitter pill to swallow for some, saving on tires should be one of the last things you should do. Keep in mind that cars are tools with the potential to cause a lot of harm to both the passengers and also other traffic participants.

Does this give credit to fitting "extra load" versions of tyres to combustion cars, in order to improve handling? It would be great to see some "extra load" versions of tyres already included as part of a group test... i.e. 205/55/16 91v vs 94v on a golf or similar. How would Braking, Handling, Rolling Resistance, Comfort be affected?

It sure does, but it obviously depends on brand and tyre

thanks for the wonderful video to explain. could I understand a little better - shouldn't the load/weight rating of the tyre already help address the issue of heavier cars? what is that specific difference that makes an EV tyre more supportive of an EV car's weight than a high/extra load rated 'normal' tyre? I'm thinking of choosing between the Pirelli P0 PZ4 (PNCS, Elect) "102W" and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 "102Y" - both "XL" for the size 245/45/R19 on the Polestar 2. The minimum load rating in the owner's manual is "99". Which would u recommend then for better handling and cornering?

The original audi etron (a modified a3 hatchback) had an entire separate trim of the car called the ULTRA, which improved EV range by 10%, and the only difference was the tyres. Granted, the full electric range was only 20 miles (it was a plug-in hybrid) but they still went to the trouble

i bought a new mimi e stage 3 and it drives and pulls better then my 7 series bmw lol i always have it in economy mode and i wobder should i put it in sport....

Fantastic review! Will you get a chance to test the Pilot Sport EV and Pirelli PZ4 NCS Elect tyres soon?

Great video, Thank you for your efforts to present us the differences between those 2 tyres. Audi fits a set of Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 EV tires in the Q3 SPortback mild - hybrid 150Hp. I' ve noticed as you said, the lower comfort level and the unacceptable lateral wet handling. Is there a reason to use a dedicated EV tire in a MHEV, which is primary an internal -combustion engine vehicle? Which would suggest instead?

I would like to see a head 2 head comparison of a normal car + EV tires vs. a normal car +normal tires!

Lol notice how "normal" is still i.c.e. ?

Still using Crossclimate + on my Leaf and thinking of switching to Crossclimate 2 when they need changing. Do you think they are the best option for a all season for electric?

Snap - would also be interested to see if this is still the best option

Pirelli CINTURATO ALL SEASON SF 2 seems to be even better than CROSSCLIMATE 2… Test neeeded

Test out monday, but CC2 and SF2 oth great optoins for EVs

My electric Smart Fortwo came with Continental EV tyres, which when I came to replace my original tyres recently, I could not find anywhere in the size I need. And the tyres I could find were summer only, not all seasons. If it is recommended that we got EV tyres to EV's, then not options need to be available. This was a very interesting video.

I did a review on my own channel regarding the excellent Dunlop enasvae EC300s and for taxi/phv they were brilliant for all conditions (winter I use the goodyear ultra grips) and more importantly wear (stop start etc) for taxi work was the best I've ever seen in 24 years and over a million miles of different tyres! Cheers

I think you need to try a Tesla Model 3 performance or a Porsche Taycan around a track. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

More EV content please! Specifically all season recommendations. There aren't many good options yet for ultra high performance tires on high powered evs

Perfect , thanks

I have a heavy AF ICE limousine(96 fleetwood 6 door with chevy LT1) I can squeeze 30MPG out of it, but with these tires, i might be able to squeeze out an extra 1-3MPG, i'd just need a different set for snow. I did notice that when i went to all season light truck tires my fuel economy went down to about 25-28 depending on temperature(this car loves 95f+ ambient temps)

Could you do a normal vs RFT tires. Thx. Keep up the good work

Very interesting review thanks. I'm surprised that the EV tyre is heavier yet gives a longer range. I've been looking at putting 18" wheels on a e-golf (replacing the visually awful 16" ones) but anecdotally this results in a reduction in range. It sounds like this is due to the wheel weight being further out from the wheel centre and probably a stickier tyre. It would be great if you could do a review of different wheel sizes on an EV. I recall Engineering Explained found his range improved when he went to smaller wheels on his Model 3. The other thing I would be very interested to see tested would be to see different tyres tested for accelerating from rest, particularly when wet, as wheel spin isn't something I've see rated and is a real issue with EVs. This would then need to be compared with rolling resistance as I imagine it is difficult to achieve great grip and low rolling resistance.

The best for EV is lightweight rims but tyres with strong sidewalls (so most likely an heavy tyre). If you do the opposite you will lose on range and driving experience.

I don't think the weight of the tyre/wheel combination really affects the range much, it's more down the the aero. Tyre sidewall is just more aerodynamic than the wheels, so they give better range. The other factor would be the tyre width if that was different for the low profile tyres, because narrower tyres are going to be significantly more efficient.

@@Xenon0000000000001 A tyre/wheel weight will most definitely affect range. Lighter the better. The reason the EV tyre in this vid is heavier is due to being design for a heavier vehicle. A heavier vehicle will need higher pressures so the tyre deformation is more defined by that rather than the tyre construction. So you need a stiffer tyre to handle the higher loads. The reason a lighter setup is better for range is down to the energy required. It takes less to get it rotating and to keep it rotating.

Hi, what do you think is the best winter tire for a Tesla Model 3 LR. Why is there no sottozero 3 Pirelli in your tests. Thank you very much
